Sex Sells.

There is one thing that I see in almost every single ad. Sex. Or someone looking sexy. Ads like this appear on TV, in magazines, on billboards, on Facebook, Youtube, etc.... Most of the time the ad is of some woman with her lips slightly parted, legs open and half naked. Women have been the subjects of most ads since the beginning of time. Women in ads have been over-sexualized and dominated by men. It has become the norm for us to see this everyday.

This Burger King is probably the worst one I've seen yet. This ad suggests many things. The fact that Burger King decided to name the sandwich "BK Super Seven Incher" astounds me on many levels. The placement of the sandwich near the young woman's mouth, the name of the sandwich, the woman's open mouth and that the word "blow" is printed in huge font, all makes me suggest... well it doesn't leave much to the imagination
