Fans slam Victoria's Secret ads featuring Karlie Kloss with short hair (And I think that's mean.)

Candice Swanepoel, Karlie Kloss and Alessandra Ambrosio pose together at the reveal of Victoria's Secret 2013 Swim Collection on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 in Los Angeles.

So maybe it's a bit much to get worked up over: but some media outlets are in a bit of a huff because the comments on a LiveJournal fashion blog are declaring internationally acclaimed super model Karlie Kloss's short 'do is not sexy.

The Victoria's Secret commercial features the newly winged Angel sporting her signature Karlie crop that has been deemed by some insiders as the new "Rachel" -- as in Jennifer Aniston's famous layered 'do from her "Friends" day -- alongside Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo, and Lais Ribeiro. Hair gets whipped around, models exit sports cars wearing nothing more than their bras and panties, the sun is shining -- you get the drill.

In the post titled "One of these things is not like the others" that started the thread, one commenter notes that Kloss's cut makes her stick "out like a sore thumb next to these more bombshell types" who happen to all have longer hair.

Is it really that big of a deal?

Business Insider points out that Kloss was put in $75,000 worth of extensions so she could walk the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show with long, flowing locks, so maybe there is correlation.

While we're still debating whether an above-the-shoulder bob is as fashion-forward a move as sporting tailored and piped pajamas in the daylight, we never for once stopped to think that the cut would crop Kloss's sexiness factor.

Back to the comments (as a reality check, please let us note: there are 31), Glamour says they cite a Style.com article that also negates the concept of "bob" preceding "bombshell" in relation to Karlie, but we can't seem to find it. However, it does seem like a legitimate point that folks other than the anonymous posters on the Interwebs are skeptical of the potential for cropped hair and bra pushers.

What do you think? Do you think Kloss is still as "sexy" as she was before she cut her locks? (For your reference.) Do you think she's "sexy" enough to be a Victoria's Secret Angel even though she has short hair? Do you think this entire argument is ridiculous? Weigh in here.
