Killing Us Softly: Advertising

The average American sees 3,000 ads per day.  That is a lot of ads that we don't even realize that we are seeing.  They are full of subliminal messages that we don't even realize. Like this ad for example.  It shows a women and she is wrapped around in some sort of ribbon where she wouldn't be able to move or even speak.  When you see something like this you don't even think twice about it normally but when you actually look at the ad you wonder why they would make this an ad?  It's like she has been kidnapped and not allowed to talk.  Like she is being taken advantage of or even bondage.  It's a scary thought to think that our children are seeing these types of subliminal messages and don't realize that there's something not right about them.  There are plenty of other ads out there that do the same type of advertising.  Just go through any magazine and you will find tons.  The problem with these types of ads is that they are sending messages that say that women are supposed to be submissive.  That they should not have control of a situation.  That they should be quiet.  A lot of ads show women with their mouths either covered by their hand or some other object.  That's not right.  I thought women gained their rights a long time ago.  There are certain types of ads that I think shouldn't be allowed to be released to the public or even be thought of. It's not okay.
