Here's the thing. They clearly want to attract men. Men like women, especially crazy sexy ones. They use the women to attract the men. The women don't like that. So who is at fault here? The company for using the women or the men for actually liking and being attracted to women in the first place?
Nobody bloody complains about those diet coke ads that are sexist and degrading towards men do they no sir http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuHV4...c581Tszs7UuCWb
bottom line: if you don't like it, don't look. Simples.

Using sexy women to advertise things? Wow, this could maybe even catch on as an idea for advertising other products!
Oh, wait ...

I reserve the right to consider certain things offensive. The Westboro Baptist Church pickets military funerals with signs that say "Thank God for IEDs." I find that deeply offensive.

That's exactly what they are going for with that. Your outrage and being offended is fuel to them. Any attention is good attention to them. Groups and people like that are internet trolls IRL. I used to be offended by things like that but got control of myself and realized I don't want to associate with people like that anyway so I don't give them the satisfaction of my attention or even thoughts. Why waste my energy thinking about those people when its ultimately a waste. They are too far gone. The best way to handle them is just ignore them. I guarantee they would loose all the wind in their sales if everyone (especially media) just ignored them and didn't argue. Just be like 'huh, well I guess you're free to think whatever you want. More power to you' and then never pay them anymore attention again.
It's amazing how many things you'd think are offensive are happening and have happened that you had no idea about and it magically had just as much affect on your life.Last edited by JAM; 07-04-2013 at 11:48 AM.

Sex sells.
But there's obviously a difference between a magazine ad and a giant fuarking billboard. At least to some. Didn't the one woman comment that it's a neighborhood community, not Times Square? I expect one thing in Mayberry and another in Vegas.
And it's not as simple as don't look. Most people have peripheral vision and little kids soak up all kinds of information visually.
lol Some but not all, right? People — male, female, lazy, productive, skinny or fat — have different levels of tolerance.
Hey, don't get me wrong. In my Perfect World™ the woman in the ad would be wearing a lot less.Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Join Rx Muscle on Facebook!
