plus-me Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Women's group slams Cellcom for sending revealing Bar Refaeli photos The Women's International Zionist Organization yesterday sent mobile phone operator Cellcom a letter harshly criticizing the company for sending revealing photographs of model Bar Refaeli to its commercial clients as part of an advertising campaign. The letter was sent by the chairwoman of WIZO Israel's Department for the Advancement and Status of Women, Gila Oshrat, and department director Ronit Ehrenfreund Cohen, to Cellcom CEO Amos Shapira. It came in the wake of a text message sent to Cellcom subscribers, including WIZO, offering special features for their mobile devices. Attached to the text message was a photograph of Refaeli in a revealing bathing suit, taken from the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition which featured the Israeli model and actress. "Drawing a comparison between a women's body and an innovative service for mobile phone customers sends a negative and damaging social message," Oshrat and Ehrenfreund Cohen wrote in their letter to Shapira. "This is a classic, if not cliched, example of the way a commercial company chooses to make use of the female body with no connection to the product being promoted." Last year WIZO conducted a public campaign against sexist advertising. It awarded the "mark of shame prize" to the Eden Springs mineral water bottler for a commercial featuring Refaeli that used the tag line, "The bar you always wanted at home." Cellcom was among other companies cited for sexist ads. In yesterday's letter, the WIZO officials remarked that Cellcom might win first prize in this year's campaign. Cellcom issued the following response yesterday to Haaretz: "We apologize. The manner in which the text message was sent contradicts company policy, and the message was sent to a very small number of customers. We thank WIZO for coming to us. We have tightened up our procedures to prevent a recurrence of this kind of mistake." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. And the person who pretends to be Bar on Twitter or Facebook is probably someone who knows her or has contacts with someone who has pictures of Bar. Some comments coming from that impostor are almost grotesque and totally ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause yeah, probably is someone with some "source"... that's stupid... I hate that. But well... that's why i dont believe in everything I see or every interview. there's ALWAYS trashy things... and until you don't have the real source, with NAMES or picture... it can be fake...

Some comments coming from that impostor are almost grotesque and totally ridiculous. What kind of things were almost grotesque?? I just read comments that were innocuous and hi hi stuff - looks like a lot of people pretending to be famous people..like they have Brooklyn Decker conversing with Bar on that twitter site but am sure that's all fake. It's surprising how so many people fall for that though..believing that it is real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's no conversations w/ANY Bar Refaeli over there ... So, if anyone is pretendin' to be Bar & Brooklyn they're totally fake! But does anyone have the "conversations" between "Bar" & "Brooklyn" ... I wold love to see that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plus-me Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 In Yedioth Ahronoth interview, Israeli model Bar Refaeli slams Israel, announces move to Los Angeles, says has no regrets regarding dodging army service. "In order to contribute and help, in order to be part of the State," Ginzburg said, "enlisting is a duty, not a choice. There are a million of things I don't feel like doing, but I do them because I have to. Military service is part of the things I believe in, the values I was raised on." By the way, despite the rumors, Ginzburg insists that she and Chace Crawford are just friends. So the bottom line is that she is still single and available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solange_09 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 yeah, I think whoever wrote that article made it look like Esti is bashing Bar but Esti said nothing about Bar and infact she and Bar are friends. She and Bar were photographed out and about in NYC just a few months ago. Those quotes of Bar's were also not true, Bar has even sued that original interviewer who faked what she said. The article plus me posted doesn't even make sense - why are they putting Chace andEsti together? The rumors were about Chace and Bar, not Esti and Chace.

Kerri Lynn Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 - why are they putting Chace andEsti together? The rumors were about Chace and Bar, not Esti and Chace.Well, actually... Esti used to date Chace. Unlike the rumors with Bar, Chace did apparently date Esti.http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/35764188.htmlAnyone knows where Bar is right now?.... she does not seem to be in Israel. So I thought she might be at some fashion week in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who cares about Esti indeed!I hope to see Bar on Project Runway.. she would be a much better guest judge than Lohan or the others they've had.
