It's pretty sad and sickening to see some of the video clips on tv these days of women happily objectifying themselves all to get attention and sell records. Some of them are pretty explicit, too.
Perhaps they fail to realize that it's not only their fans that watch their videos but also pervy old men. I also wonder what some of their children think seeing their mothers dry humping guys and doing all sorts of other things in their videos.
I think she's going a bit too far with the cigarette ads. The words "slim" "sleek", etc are being used because its describing the shape of the cigarette.
Sometimes I think this lady reads a little TOO much into things.
Well if it bares no importance, why mention it? The very definition of a cigarette requires it to be small. If you're not an idiot, you don't need its size advertised to you.
It's like describing an orange as "orange". Yeah... we get that from the name. Tell us something useful.
The ads don't say that the cigarettes are "small," they say that they are slim, as in, slimmer than ordinary cigarettes. That's why they mention it; not all cigarettes are the same size.
Yeah, but there's not going to be a huge difference between them. Seriously... (the ones featured in the video) don't look "slimmer" than regular cigarettes. And it seems like they ALL describe themselves as "slimmer than the rest" these days.
well, this video is actually a lot longer. She makes the point later on that models in the 80's used to smoke cigarettes because niccotine decreases your appetite and relieves hunger pains.
Because models were doing it, a lot of other women picked up on this, too. Her point is that the words "sleek" "and "slim" in ciggarette ads have a double meaning of not just the shape of the cigg. but also it speaks to the notion that smoking will help control hunger and mame you thin.
