Interpretation of ads on T.V. and in magazines

7 posts in this topic

Went to log on to Yahoo! to check my email and every now and then I'll read the headlines and some of the articles on it. Went to read the headline on now, and it was about Sports Illustrated's February issue cover photo. The photo is of I believe pro-skier and skier for the U.S. in the winter Olympics Lindsey Vonn. She is in a "tuck stance" position in the photo, and there is uproar about the photo, that it is provocative and sexual. I see nothing sexual or provocative about it, as I have watched skiers and seen several of them take stances similar to this one. We all know that basically unless your wearing two sweaters three pairs of pants and standing straight up arms at your sides, someone will have a problem with your picture as a celebrity; it is quite humorous to read some of the articles or blurbs on the. However, I know I personally have seen several commercials on T.V. excluding certain ones, that are extremely provocative and suggesting. I recently saw a commercial for Palmolive Cleaner I believe, where the commercial has a grown male shirtless cleaning the floor, and ends with the spokeswoman in bed wearing provocative clothing with "romantic" music playing and the lights dimmed. I have seen several commercials like this and some worse, however; I have not read anything online or anywhere how those commercials should be banned and are to provocative; yet, a skiers picture who happens to be a female taken in a pose she is in while skiing, gets huge uproar. Is it me or are there serious problems with how certain things are viewed and others are not. A link to the article on Yahoo! is below. I'm just curious what other people think and if anyone has the same thoughts and problems with this as me.

She has been dominating the word Cup circuit for some time now. Surprised she hasn't gotten this attention sooner, (Personally find it a bad makeup job. She usually looks prettier!)

As for the pose, this is how a downhill skier tucks when racing.

If this bothered some people so much; maybe they shouldn't have gotten out of the buggy and just have stayed back at the barn raising. With the exception of also wearing a helmet; this is how every downhill skier dresses and poses at every race. Not just the attractive ones. So, don't watch the olympics if this bothers you
