Sex for bling? Yawn.
I was in the mall today with a co-worker, Ned. I passed by a store with an 8-foot-tall image of a sexy your woman doing something sexy. I don't remember what she was doing, just that it was supposed to make me react somehow. I said to Ned, "Does this image make you react in any way?" He replied, no.
In fact, none of the sexy advertising reached me in any way. I barely notice it. There are hot women everywhere in Montreal (except St-Laurent, apparently, where they are a bunch of teenage wannabes skankalikes) and the images themselves might as well be pictures of hammers. Actually the hammers would get my attention; I need new tools.
I suppose the ads weren't meant for me, but rather for the youth set that really wants to be sexy. (Not the over-25 set, who desperately want to remain sexy.) In the UK, though, the youth is (are?) unaffected by the ads, so much so that they see them the same way I do. They don't care. As well they shouldn't, really. And some of these companies deny that they try to sell sex to teens.
