Killing Us Softly 3: Advertising’s Image of Women
Advertisement is all around us. It tries to convince us to buy a product based on a spokesperson or other mechanisms. But we sometimes fail to see how much of an effect this has on our society as a whole. This documentary examines the effects of having women portryaed as freakishly skinny, large hipped, big breasted idiots.

This presentation deconstructing these ads and the messages behind them was fantastic. Amusing, Shocking and Intelligent, I found myself riveted and surprised by how little attention I truly have paid to the subliminal messages being broadcast from every corner of our country. I’ll never view another advertisement in the same way.
Bare minimum, I think every parent should view this.

arian,
ONLY a moronic, patriarchal lovin’ jerk would make a statement like that. I’ve no doubt you are of the ilk that would rape a woman and say her cries of ‘NO’ were in no way to be taken seriously.

Arian,
WTF? I totally agree with Conspiracy2Riot! Those adds don’t come from a womans mind, not to forget that ONLY men own the biggest company’s, which all these adds where made for.

Great doc. I am really interested in viewing Killing Us Softly (1979) and Still Killing Us Softly (1987?). Does anyone know if these are available online or elsewhere?
