Week 2 EOC: Questionable Ethics in Advertising

The posts here all clearly represents sexuality rather it be sexual preference or pure sex. We as beings have definitely uncovered that rock through advertisements over the years. Ad agencies almost send a message to not be so sensitive to the matter, as European cultures embrace sexuality in ads, and think nothing of it.

The first ad is one of a Turkish denim brand. Is this embracing sexuality through just plain nudity? No its not at all. It sends a message to children that if you wear these jeans, you can have sex. Maybe it even eludes that sex is the thing to do. Maybe it is, but open advertisements is not the place to place this message to minors that won't be able to comprehend, and won't have answers readily available on the precautions to take before engaging in such behaviors.

The second and third ad shows unethical behavior in a way that many may argue for the sake of homosexuality and its place in society. This way of introducing it to the world and through brand imaging is clearly a marketing scheme to attract new consumers of these brands' products. Nudity again is depicted as a form of beauty indeed. The remainder of the picture speaks 1,000 words. The man in the second ad is getting ready to be devoured and is being looked at as a piece of meat, diminishing human decency and respect for one another and ones self.

The third ad shows nothing to support the brand's product other than the chips are that good that another man may cross boundaries. I believe the ad has crossed more than one boundary. Both ads are perfect for openers to a porn movie and not ads for the entire family to see.
