Killing Us Softly

After watching Killing Us Softly in my Visual Literacy class I really started to notice how ads/images really do objective women in our society. The presenter in the movie Killing Us Softly really got into the ads/commericals that are on our televisions, she really pointed all a lot of different ways we objectify women that I didn't understand. For example this ad:

What does this image intill? It is condom ad that is being used in magazines today. When I look at this ad I see that the condom is labeled XXL which means that the woman's mouth was stretched. Everyone can probably tell why or how it got strecthed. This picture really made me upset when I first saw it I couldn't believe that companies would run this ad in newspaper/magazines. Granted this is only one ad and one way that we as a society objectify women.
