do you think the barbie reference in this ad is creepy or clever?

an ad for Moschino jeans, copyright 2001.

Barbie dolls, with their unrealistically shaped bodies, are often accused of perpetrating unhealthy body ideals in young girls. This ad uses Barbie's signature packaging to sell jeans. Do you think it is a clever comment on fashion advertising or on the world's most famous doll? Or is the idea of portraying a real woman as a doll in order to sell clothes demeaning?

    It looks like some freaky rapist tied her up so she'll still be there when he comes back.
