Although the sexual sell, overt and
subliminal, is at a fever pitch in most
advertising, depictions of sex as an
important and potentially profound
human activity are notably absent.
Couples in ads rarely look at each
other. It is a cold and oddly passionless
sex that surrounds us. A sense of joy is
also absent; the models generally look
either hostile or bored. Our culture is
sex-crazed and sex-saturated, but
strangely unerotic.

how very true!
ReplyDeleteI love Jean Kilbourne. '79 Killing Us Softly was a winner.
