10/5/07-Simone, Simulation One

I had the best time in class yesterday! The video we watched made some very good points and I can't wait to finish it...I might even buy the sucker. One thing I thought was interesting was when she made the joke about penis enlargement and everyone in class, and on the video, laughed. I found this interesting because the thought of making an ad about a man's penis like that was absurd, but the ad about a woman's breast size was normal. Yes, it was offensive, but not "out of the blue." Another thing I noticed was that the majority of the audience members were women. Maybe it was an all-women's college, I don't know, but it was sad none the less. Men need to here what the media is doing to us more than we do, I think. Men have an unrealistic image of the perfect woman and though females know she does not exist, I'm not sure males do quite yet. Something to think about.
