Women in Advertising

Alex Leo over at HuffPo wrote a post on five sexist trends the ad world just can't shake. The following tropes "use stereotypes and violence to prey on our most vile desires" -- and probably aren't going anywhere, despite "cultural outrage" and "personal boredom."

• Bondage. One awesome example is the ad for Remy Martin's "Things Are Getting Interesting". campaign. Experience has taught us naughty domina girls sell more than liquor
• Rape. Illustrated by this ad by Dolce & Gabbana.
• Sluts. Lovin' the shameless BMW ad. And we can definitely attest to the prevalence of sluts in ad culture. Whatever Lola wants...
• Girl-on-Girl Action. Yeah, baby, yeah!
• Cum Shots. You are sooo money, and you don't even know it.
• Missing: the voyeur, the coquette, the perpetual innocent, and the girl gone bad. (See graduates of Disney.)
