Objectification in ads

It's so weird how we don't notice everything that advertisements imply. Our talk about how many ads in fashion magazines have symbols of submission, objectificaton, etc. made me think of this. We so easily flip through these magazines and don't notice the subconscious messages that are being shown. That's what's cool (and important) about media literacy. Simply knowing and being aware of the way we are marketed to helps us notice it more. After we talked about it in class I really could pull out tons of ads that displayed stuff like this. Objectification, pornographic positions and symbols, etc.
