I understand sex sells but....


After hearing Jamie's presentation of how sex sells in the advertisement industry, I have to wonder how much is too much? After seeing some of the controversial ads, you have to wonder what comes next? Flat out having two people engaging in sexual intercourse? From what I've seen lately, I wouldnt be surprised if it comes to that.


The one thing I hate the most is how women are portrayed as objects in many of these ads. For example, the Dolce and Gabbana ad up top is basically portraying the male as being overly dominant, with her laying underneath him. Instead of showing women as strong individuals like back in the day, women are now seen as just sex toys, basically.
