going to far??????? ads

[Guest dontcaretoomuchforcrap]

anyone else notice that us tv ads are getting more provocative and suggestive.

i'm young, but even im shocked by some ads i've seen lately. like that cell phone one with the girl in the bra or the deordorant ads suggesting oral sex.

I saw a recent article on sexual advertising. The suggestion of the article was that sex doesn't sell anywhere near as much as it used to (see: new ad campaigns like Dove's "real women" campaign and one ad campaign for a company that slips my mind at the moment featuring models doing "normal" tasks, i.e. doing the laundry and ironign clothes and "real women" laughing at them).

Who knows...

Sex is getting altogether too dangerous to sell anything these days
