After
giving you a non-biased compliation of articles, we give you our opinions
on sex in advertising.
Tarra Baranski:
"I think the way the media shows women to look is wrong. Nobody
really looks that perfect and for someone who has low self esteem,
looking at ads of perfect women is only going to lower it."
Alexander Adams:
"I've never really thought much of the
portrayal of men and women as sex objects. I mean, I realize that
I'm constantly exposed to it, but I don't really buy into it... Except
in 7th grade when I bought Tomb Raider II because Lara Croft was 'hot'....
But that was 7th grade. Now, I'm more media literate, and I'm neutral
to the issue."
Jen Berecek:
"Sex in advertising is something that is
not a new trend, but with each year continues to get increasingly
shocking. Although ads are intended to be eyecatching, some ads "catch
your eye," for the wrong reasons. It Advertising agencies and
the like, should focus more on the product and who they are selling
it to (age targeted), this is what they SHOULD get paid for and what
should be in their job description, not perversion and able to "excite
others" by provocative pictures."
