I had to start this after reading Mr Moperys post on another thread. I will agree with others that sex is being needlessly pushed to far in some instances in advertising but i also have to say that one of my favorite commercials right now has got to be for the new mini....."wow there is alot of room in here!" Almost split a gut seeing that for the first time!

Huh? I guess you need to add more to your post. I've not seen this add.

Is the add available online, Grendal? I don't recognize it, either.

Although I'll say that half the time I see 'sex' advertising something like a new rollerblade or a fancy brand of coffee, I have to wonder if you need it to sell the product(which must be bad! LOL) or if it's just become so pervasive these days that advertising execs only think in those terms!

ok roll with me here...its dark out...your looking thru the front window of a mini...there is a guy and a girl sitting in the front seat all sweaty, putting their cloths on when the girl says "wow there IS alot of room in here!" Two seconds later another girl pops her head up in the back seat (also putting clothes on) and says "Id say so!"

Well you know you've hit a major topic when a simple search online turns up sites with teaching aids for lessons on the topic! Here

And take a look at the photo/advertising in the cake pic for this book being reviewed on the american scientist site [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] "Sex in Advertisingerspectives on the Erotic Appeal" (it's ok, not too sexy for a link, it's only cake, right?!) [img]graemlins/uhoh2.gif[/img]
