Every time I see an ad with a female model advertising something, I can't help but notice the way she's been displayed.
I mean, look at this one: http://medianet.news.com.au/adv.research/c...n-klein-lge.jpg Or this one: http://www.hi-design.ru/brand/Calvin%20Kle...es/klein_00.jpg I think that's just wrong. I keep seeing younger and younger models being sexualised. And it's not sending a very good message to teenagers, is it? Is this disturbing only to me? Or do people find it "cool"? What is it that I don't understand? Do you find that these ads are ok? Discuss. Taylor`` |

Sex sells.
End of story. Tacky or not, it still makes us want to buy it. |

QUOTE(slammin shelby @ Jun 28 2006, 5:11 PM)  Sex sells. End of story. Tacky or not, it still makes us want to buy it. Exactly what I was going to say. Advertising is for the purpose of selling their clothes. If it's provocative, so be it. Unless it's degrading or contains something vulgar, I think risque advertisement is fine. And often very, very beautiful. |

What we're talking about here is exactly about ads being degrading AND somewhat vulgar. |
