Women and the Media

Sorry for the second rant in two days, I guess I'm just in a rant-y mood....lo siento!

A blog called "Stiletto Revolt--Women and Cultural Warfare: A Multimedia Expose" has a list of The World's Worst Magazine Ads (specifically modern ads that portray/play off of negative, manipulative, unhealthy, or warped ideals for women), and it is pretty shocking. Here are a couple of the ads:

AD CAMPAIGN: Fit Yogurt (Brazil)

LITERAL TEXT: “Forget about it. Men’s preferences will never change.” 

(So eat this yogurt so that you can!)

(Just buy her jewelry and she'll open her legs!)

AD CAMPAIGN: Wonderbra"

("There are only two ways to get a man. If you can't cook, you better be sexy.")

(For participation in the organ donation program!)
