Question

By Bess Levin

Whatever happened with those ads Morgan Stanley shot in December, the ones with the male Vietnamese models? They were *supposed* to run in the Journal and online but the interns have been looking for them daily and so far, nothing.

    UBS captured them and put them into a labor camp.

    You: Vietnamese male, thin, athletic, non-smoker, must be able to lift 245 lbs.
    Me: Sclerotic, near-sighted, middle-aged banker seeking companionship, more?
    If you like dancing, drinks around town, sleeping late and the occasional office task (very occasional!), please send photo ASAP.
    Due to the volume of inquiries, middle-aged banker cannot respond to all submissions.

    I’ve seen that Vietnamese guy featured MS ad on the WSJ last month or so with their slogan “world wise”. It was on either A1 or C1.

    Are you kidding? They’ve run them ad nauseam already. “Young Vietnamese are becoming affluent, and they have a thirst for luxuries, blah blah blah. World Wise”

    Why did you switch post from “Carney looking” to “interns looking” Bess? Is Carney an Intern?
