      Video: Killing Us Softly 3 - Sexism, Racism, Homophobia in Ads

      A lecture discussing the various messages that almost all ads are sending us.

      http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...68502337678412

      I had to watch this for class. I consider myself to be an informed feminist, but I'm ashamed to say that I was blind to the racism and homophobia parts (being a straight, white woman).

      I don't expect many of you to view this because this video is a) a bit lengthy at 34 minutes and b) deals with serious issues that maybe anyone under 25 wouldn't be interested in, but just thought I'd put this out there and see if anyone wants to discuss it in the future!

      Wow..I watched the whole thing...that was eye-opening, shocking, enlightening..etc.

      I'm also ashamed to say, I have not noticed many the things that she pointed out. This goes to show how we are all subliminally being affected by ads. And ads do affect us, as I learned. I mean, even I thought they had no affect on me, but wow.

      I highly recommend everyone watch it.

      Aww! I heart you. Although I don't think any sensible guy would go around calling everyone who isn't a stick "ugly," at least I hope not.
