Advertising isn’t just showing off products, it is tricking people into buying products – product of the year just means the company paid for the banner to show off, 85% of women agreed just means a few women out of 75 tested said it was ok, the science part isn't science at all. It is also subconsciously putting ideas into people's heads about how things are – women are the ones who clean the house, men are stupid and bad drivers to boot, you are ugly without make-up, you have to wear Lynx to attract women…
Advertising is everywhere, it is not just kept to the media anymore, on the sides of busses, in our streets, in our toilets...yes because I appreciate being told my vagina smells and I need to fill it with toxic chemicals while I'm sitting in a public loo...really I do[n't]!
Is there a way to avoid advertising?
Turning the TV over or just not watching, not buying magazines, not listening to the radio, that's all easy enough to do but what about other places?
