Means of Persuasion: March 2009

http://meansofpersuasion.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. Sunday, March 29, 2009. It’s time to roll into a new phase with this blog. With that being said, I have decided to focus on the “Sex Sells” aspect of the media. We have all heard this term. We have all encountered it first hand. But why is sex so affective? It certainly hasn’t always. Been The next posts are going to be dedicated to “speculating” the answers to these questions. How and why does sex sell? Why is it so persuasive? Monday, March 9, 2009. 1984, the na...

Means of Persuasion: Women want it too?

http://meansofpersuasion.blogspot.com/2009/04/women-want-it-too.html

VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. Monday, April 27, 2009. Women want it too? Shay brings up a great point in her comment on the Carl's Junior ad, see below. We've seen how the our sexist culture has created a sexual appeal; many advertisements are explicitly sexual. And women are depicted as sex objects and subordinate creatures. Shay suggests that advertisements should ". Maybe focus more on women since we are the ones who balance the check book.". Are there ads that focus on women? Women want it...

Means of Persuasion: Identification is key

http://meansofpersuasion.blogspot.com/2009/04/identification-is-key.html

VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. Thursday, April 2, 2009. So now you're wondering, "what in the WORLD does Burke have to do with SEX? I'm sure you have all thought of that exact same question. Although Burke lived in a time of censorship (I'm sure he never dreamed of the hot, racy ads that we see on TV everyday), he put his finger precisely on the answer to my previous question: Why does SEX sell? But why is sex so appealing? Why do babes in bikinis sell alcohol? There's more to come. I am a full...

Ok Now that we have some theoretical knowledge under our belts, we can start to really delve into some famous "sex ads.".

Means of Persuasion: The World is a Stage

http://meansofpersuasion.blogspot.com/2009/04/world-is-stage.html

VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. Thursday, April 2, 2009. The World is a Stage. Kenneth Burke was born on May 5, 1897. He was a major American literary theorist and philosopher.

Means of Persuasion: April 2009

http://meansofpersuasion.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. Monday, April 27, 2009. Ok- here's my personal opinion:. I don't believe I, as a woman, am turned on to a product by seeing an advertisement utilizing sex appeal. In fact, I think that women are much more keen to consubstantiality than sex appeal. In many of the sex ads, women as the advertisers focus, I desired to be like that women, have what that women had, and look like that women looked like. What about the rest of you? For every girl out there: what do you t...

VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. Monday, April 27, 2009. Ok, here's another. A sex ad geared towards women. I pose the same questions- is it effective?

Means of Persuasion: NC17

http://meansofpersuasion.blogspot.com/2009/04/nc17.html

VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. Friday, April 3, 2009. WOW That's one racy image. And what's even more shocking is that this epic love scene is in fact advertising a purse! How is this ad persuasive? There is no denying that this ad is trying to generate a blatant sex appeal, but lets look closer, shall we:. There are two women in this image, and only one man- what does this tell us? The only item of "clothing" is a purse, and it is even a nude color. How does this affect your interpretation?
