Under SPARROW's
Media Watch project we collect many print-ads which have double
meaning texts, which turn the woman into the product
being marketed, which stereotype women and men
into desirable and sturdy categories. Chosen for
this section are some general ads.
In
the first one a woman is willing to do anything
-- even that -- all for a gold pendant.
In
the second one what is being advertised is a dot
com concern. The ad asks you if you are looking
for best products, and the best products they
can think of are a woman's breasts. And they come
cheap.
In
the third and fourth what is being sold is only
a bathroom fitting. Difficult to guess that considering
the woman is all contorted probably trying to
become a faucet or a towel-hanger.
The
last two ads speak for themselves.
