Sakshi is surprised by the omnipresent truth of advertising – sex sells. Why is it so hard to believe? [hat tip: Arzan] On the other hand, globalization in advertising brings out the poet in Anil.
A Little Wit. A Little Wisdom. Lots of India.

Patrix. Firstly, thanks for the mention.
I agree ‘SEX SELL’..and this is NOT what suprises me, afterall it is shoved right in our face, be it via Ads, music videos, movies.
Whats suprises or rather disgusts me is the way most of the above represent ‘women’. As mentioned in my post, they make ‘women’ look like commodities just to please the certain ‘male segment’ in the society.

There is an interesting comment on another site on similar lines – men will be men, and it will exist as long as they exist.. quite crappy logic, I must say. While it might exist, as does murder, does it have to be glorified?
Anyways, the comment is http://vinodkhare.blogspot.com/2005/09/that-male-stare.html#c112948606488179420
