Killing us softly 3

A few years ago i saw something on TV which trembled me. A female newscaster on a Bulgarian channel was stripping as she reports the news. Actually i think there is no need to say anything more. This could be a perfect example what narrator criticises in this video, if that would be a commercial. Nevertheless, i think this tells much about women abuse on TV. In the video its meant that the women body is being used to sell products and to attract attention of viewers(mostly men ofcourse). In these commercials the perfect women is being created only refering her beauty. The narrator mensions that the woman figure is being used as objects. Also according to statistics the advertising industry increased from $20billion to $180billion in 20 years from 1979 to 1999. Which tells us that the place of advertisements in our life also increased importantly. Also the same research shows that we spend 3 years of our life for watching TV commercials. The narrator tells that with all the raise on the advertisements and their effects, all women will be effected as well. They will try to be the correct and perfect women type which is created by advertisors and that will harm them and spite theirs lives. How can we disagree ?

  1. Wow, was this actually a news report? Or a commercial? When you say stripping, do you mean she literally took all her clothes off?

    Very interesting observations.
