Vacation and links
Aug. 16th, 2008 04:52 pmVacation, day one. Already I have done knitting and cuddling with kitties. There's been other stuff too but c'mon. Priorities.
Some links for you all! Including one I think is a must-see for everyone who is... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, alive. You can view Killing Us Softly 3, Advertising's Image of Women online thanks to googlevideo. It's a few years old but very sad how much has yet to change. (See also: Wrangler uses dead women to sell jeans. Which is from THIS WEEK WTF.) As Jean says, advertising sells more than products. Of note is how she also discusses racism. There's plenty of examples for that intersectionality that IBARW was talking about.
( More links behind the cut... for after you've watched the above movie, of course )
