go gag yourself

Before this video I was one of those people that looked at ads in magazines and commercials and wished I could look like that. I was one of those girls that got dragged in the black hole of looking perfect when in reality, food is essential to live. I’m sure I am not the only girl that has got sucked in and wanted to change herself. Looking at those ads should make you feel better about yourself though, because I’m sure those girls don’t eat or gag themselves to look like that.

I completely agree with Kilbourne and her views on ads and the sexual pictures to go along with them. Is it really necessary to have a naked guy in an ad for JEANS! I don’t think so, maybe he should try wearing the jeans to show them off? I agree that ads are a huge way to introduce people with a product, but there is no need for the sexual content too. Most people don’t enjoy watching naked girls and guys when they are just trying to watch some TV on a Sunday night. It’s like I am watching my favorite show and BAM! A NAKED GIRL THAT IS STCIK THIN. GROSS.

After watching this video, I have realized that I like myself for me, I don’t want to look so skinny you can see my ribs. I don’t want to have to be naked for attention and to get something sold; I think that’s non sense.

I think of myself as a customer, not because of the commercial ad I saw, but because I like the product. I’m sure having a pretty girl showing off this item would work a lot better, but she doesn’t need to be naked and have her ribs sticking out. I think there are plenty of pretty girls out there that don’t have to have an eating disorder that could sell the product just as well.

I like the commercial about the special K the best because it shows how different men and woman are. I thought it was a funny yet an ad that told the truth. The ad about the different way breasts can be, and then the commercial is about your hair doesn’t make sense to me. I just think to myself, "WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT"

In the end, girls are desperate for attention and advertisement companies are willing to give them that, and I don’t think this will change anytime soon. What needs to change is the way people take these ads.
