Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Just now a series of commercials came up. The first was a lengthy commercial about meningitis. It talked about how normal a person with it could look even a day before they died and told more about the disease, how it is spread, including by kissing, etc. The next commercial? One by Dentyne that was full of people kissing. What kind of mixed message is this? First a public service announcement telling kids to be careful followed by one encouraging irresponsibility. I've seen other examples too, like commercials warning about increasing STD rates followed by heavily sexual commercials, usually several of them. Any wonder that STD rates amongst teens is skyrocketing? Need a job? Find employment help in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Well I've heard it said many times sex sells, it gets to the point of being ridiculous. In the UK recently I have noticed an advert for a sausage that seems to have lots of sexual tones to it and also recently noticed this ad' http://www.visit4info.com/advert/Pink-Revelation-from-Birds-Eye-Salmon-Fish-Fing\ ers-Birds-Eye-Enjoy-Frozen-Foods-Range/70434 Hmmmmmmmm bit of a long link, possibly have to copy and paste into address bar, but basically a fish finger being sexualised (sheesh!). > > Just now a series of commercials came up.

" It only shows you what appeals to people. Give them this: " These fish sticks are high in vitimins and minerals, low in cholesterol, and good for you. Plus, they taste great! " and people will ignore it. Make a fish stick into a sex icon and they will buy it up in droves. That is human nature for you, and just goes to show how easily people are manipulated. It suggests they have weak minds. Administrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
