Recently I posted some video of Jean Kilbourne who’s a professor and book author talking about images of women in advertising. But what about normal girls? What do they have to say? A project of 3iYing, this site presents a series of young women giving straight-talk deconstructions of magazine ads. Makes me wonder if I should keep the shingle on the door and quit the media literacy biz altogether, because I think most people know by this point that these ads are a bunch of bull. But it’s nice to highlight just how wasteful and stupid the advertising biz really is. And please folks, stop being afraid. Ads are not going to ruin your mind, as these thoughtful citizen critics remind us.
