I see a lot of ranting about sex-themed ads not being ingenious or memorable, but he stopped short of claiming they're ineffective. If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid. Now, is it unethical? Well, he didn't make much of a case beyond porn-is-icky.
- blackboxxx 15y agoEven if sexist ads sell, are they good for society? Or do they trivialize and objectify women and give children unrealistic, toxic stereotypes to live up to. And yes, these ads are stupid. Stupid because they lack originality and intelligence. They sometimes work because they are manipulative.
