Chapters 8 and 12

Chapters 8 and 12 are speaking on the issue of "pornographic" images in the media. A study showed there is approximately 4 scenes of sexual content per hour. I think this is a bit much for television today. Especially because television is accessible to children. Chapter 8 also discusses Sexual advertising and nudity in print. Between 1983 to 1993, 10 years, there was a significant increase in woman itemized as sex appeals in media. Woman are used three times more than men today. Woman are just itemized in the media today too much to me. I think it's ridiculous how woman are portrayed in many commercials and advertisements. Like in chapter 12, there is an advertisement for, I believe it was a clothing company, with a woman straddling a seat in the back of a bus and she was dressed, or not really dressed should I say, very pornographic. I just don't understand why companies feel they have to portray people as "sexy pornstars" to get consumer's attention.
