Why the hell do they do that?
Hello folks 
today we found an article about print ads and how they look like in todays society.Check it out -> The Provocative “sexy” in Print Advertisement
The article tells us about a spefically ad with a nude supermodel. And that the product behind the ad is not even on the poster. So it’s all about the model and how it affects the audience. This new “method” is very popular in the US and Great Britain but in Austria these kind of advertisement is not so widely used but you can also see it. It’s all about to shock the audience and to get their attention and thats what these kind of ads do, they really grab the attention of us consumers. So, tell us: What do you do when you see such an advertisement? You talk about it, right? And so you have the ad as well as the product in your mind an so many consumers buy the product.
Today there are more and more advertisements that are too sexy or even with nude models. Most of the time these models are women but today there also exists some ads with nude men. Is this good or even worse?
Let’s see some examples:
In this advertisement we can see a male model, who is nude but what does it tell us? For what product is the ad? The headline tell us that it is for an anti-aging cream. What do you say about it?
This is a much more controversial advertisement than the other one. It’s a car ad and the slogan says “Your know you’re not the first” – which is obviously equivocal!
The next on is a typical underwear advertisement and is not really shocking.
What do you say to this ad?
It’s a perfume for MEN but as you can see a naked WOMAN touts for the product and in an extreme provocative and controversial position!!!
We think that all these kind of advertisements are really provocative and controversial but also they are’nt good for our society and especially not good for our children. We hope that these methods will disapear in a few years but we think that this will never happen, it’s much more obvious that this kind of campaign will grow.
Folks now it’s your turn to give us comments on these ads. Please be honest with us and as we always say: Don’t forget to fight for your rights! 
Our first character is Marcy Darcy from the television show “Married…with children”. She was the breadwinner of the family in both(!) of her marriages. For us she was always the tough woman, with a lot of enthusiasm for feminism but she is also a lovely wife and good friend for Peggy.
The next example and unfortunately a fictional character is the most famous cartoon caracter of all time – Lisa Simpson. She is only 8 years old and fights for the women’s right. Although she has a doll called Malibu Stacey she proclaims it because she looks like a supermodel with big boobs and long blond hair, so she makes her own doll with a company but nobodys likes the doll because it`s too feministic for the world and the typical doll buyer. She also complains her mother to be a stay-at-home woman. And she hates the attidude of men.
Roseanne Conner from Roseanne is not the typical feminist because she has a household and cares about her family but she had a few jobs in her life and still works athough she has children. She is a tough woman with lot of power and never keep her mouth shut. And Roseanne was an overweight female lead character whose likability did not depend on her appearance.
One of the newest show characters is Rory Gilmore from the TV show “Gilmore Girls”. She grew up with her mother and since she was born she fought for her rights as a woman. She’s in a way the typical feministic girl, she likes to read (authors like Sylvia Plath, Jane Austen, Eudora Welthy or Simone de Bouvour), is intelligent and her dream became true when she visited the Yale University to study Journalism. In the end she decides to live her dream instead of becoming the wife of her boyfriend. Rory is a stong charakter especially in todays society and this gives us hope. More TV shows should create characters like Rory!
An older one is Buffy Summers from “Buffy the vampire slayer”. Even though Buffy is a blond and skinny girl she is really tough and smart. She shows us that nobody should have prejudices against blond women!
Than we have Miranda Hobbes from “Sex and the city”. Of course all four characters from the show have a feminist touch but Miranda is the one who shows it the most. She works as a lawyer (which is notorious a manly job) and still does not get the same attention as the men in her company. Later she has her child but is still the breadwinner. She’s a loveable mother and wife but works her ass off and fights for her rights especially in her job. 
And last but not least we have Hermine Granger from the “Harry Potter” series. She is not the typical feminist girl but she fights for her rights in the magical world. She is the one who helps her male friends out. She is very intelligent and likes to read and learn more about the magical world. So we think that she has also a bit of a feminist touch.
Feminism takes a long journey! It all started in the 17th century from some ideas in the work of Marie Le Jars de Gournay in which she proclaimed the human rights. The journey for the rights of women continued and many women proclaimed against some declarations. (18th and 19th century) But it all begins with the First Wave Feminism in the middle of the 19th century where women fight for their right to sit in parliament, to become more educated, to have an equality in marriage, to have a divorce and to have the right work . Feminism has since then part of many women all over the world who fight for their rights!
Why the hell do people think that ?
