(Oct. 28, 2010) — I sign onto my email every day to check my mail and the first thing I always see are spam emails from sites that sell Viagra or sites that are meant for adult singles. No matter what I do to get rid of them, I somehow still get a few of these spam emails that make me feel uncomfortable and give my friends more reason to tease me. In today’s society everything from music to commercials to movies always find a way to broadcast one thing: sex, sex and more sex. Advertisements for something as simple as a commercial for hamburgers now have women wearing provocative clothing biting into one of their burgers. Well, if that doesn’t get male attention then nothing will. It’s not only women who are used in advertising in a sexual manner. I’m sure all female teens have ogled at the incredibly handsome men in the Abercrombie & Fitch ads. I can’t say that I don’t appreciate the photos, but the men in these pictures are never wearing clothes. So how does that promote their product? Tom Ford’s perfumes may have the most . . . interesting ads I have seen yet. Ford likes to create controversial ads that do bring attention to his products, but for all the wrong reasons. The ad for The Sweet Fragrance perfume has the product placed in between a woman’s legs. I wouldn’t even approach this perfume, not because I find it offensive, but I just find the ad too mortifying to actually show interest in the product. As a teen, I know that sex is a part of life and I don’t think it’s wrong to have it referred to in media. The problem, I think, is how often it is mentioned in media and the significant amount of appeal that is put into it. After all this propaganda of sex in teens’ lives, how can people be surprised that there are over 750,000 teen pregnancies each year in the United States? If people continue to broadcast something to us everywhere we go, then we are bound to become intrigued by the product. So I applaud the advertisement companies; even if they don’t sell their product well, they sure sell sex well.
