our media
In class this week we talked about if ads are too pornographic. Even though I am a guy I think that a lot of ads are getting way too revealing. They would be ok if only people 18 and older see them but they are being exposed to young children! I believe this gives them the wrong perception of what life is really like. And also gives off too much sexual images. For me these ads are fine, like I can deal with it, but I wouldn't want my kid under 10 years old to see these images. And I think that more and more into the future the worse it's gonna get. I hope that especially the bigger companies decide to change their ways of advertising for our children's sake as dorky as it sounds. But I really think this needs to be done...sorry guys

Where are the kids going to see this ad? Ads like this aren't going to be put in children's magazines; the advertising company is too smart for that. They will be putting them in magazines like Vogue or Comso or whatever. If there really are kids looking at those magazines, then it is the PARENTS responsibility to be watchful of what their kids are looking at.
ReplyDeleteI am just a firm believer of free speech, and advertising is definitely a form of free speech. I think we need to stop blaming the advertising companies and start taking responsibility for what our kids read.
