Pictures and text from the Love Your Body Foundation. They also have a page for Positive Ads. Its interesting, though not as funny :)



Gucci  This ad attempts to demonstrate a woman's "place" in the world—at a man's feet—right below his...uh... Just don't stand up too fast, sister!



Maker's Mark  What is it about selling alcohol that makes advertisers want to belittle and insult women... does it really make men feel more powerful? Don't answer that.



Longchamp  This is an ad for luggage, right? And the nearly naked, bronzed woman is there because...? When creativity fails, insert sex.



Dior  The text reads, "New! Dior Addict Lipstick to Die For...in 30 killer shades... Get hooked. Now." Dior proudly uses the themes of addiction and death to sell lipstick, under the impession that the tactic is edgy and original. Not.


Winston  Winston tries to convince young women how tough and cool they can be by smoking while waiting for a man. Hope he arrives soon ...before lung cancer sets in.


Candies  This is too easy. Is that a space shuttle on your computer, or are you just happy to see me? This ad is so obvious in its "subliminal" message, it's sad.


Calvin Klein  Good ol' Calvin — always leading the way with images of nearly naked, pre-pubescent-looking women and girls.


Ralph Lauren  Not to be outdone, Ralph offers that perfect look to wear while scratching your back on a tree while waiting for, um...the stableboy?


Misty  Brown & Williamson appears to be marketing cigarettes to pre-teen girls with this ad that practically makes smoking look wholesome. Really not.
