I like the market approach here: H&M thinks bad behavior associated with them means bad business. Would people stop shopping at H&M because of Kate Moss? I have no idea. But I like that H&M does worry it has responsibilities to the community, so to speak. Don’t want that mandated, but I like the instinct.

I don’t know that Kate Moss is necessarily any girl’s role model, but the “role model” talk in relation to sports stars has never bothered me. Boys will always look up to their favorite sports guy. And, so, yeah, we want our sports guys to be all-American types. That doesn’t mean grandstanding hearings are to be encouraged, but I’m with Ramesh that automatic sneering at the role-model talk is annoying.
