Week 7 Blogging Assignment

http://www.bettyconfidential.com/ar/ld/a/Does_Bikini_Razor_Commercial_Go_Too_Far.html


This blogger, Carrie Seim, confesses that the bikini razor commercial we watched in class (the controversial one) was actually a great piece of advertisement. She correctly insinuates that people will be outraged because it publicly acknowledges the fact that women shave those areas. However, she believes that advertisements should be outright and specific when it comes to these topics because it is so commonly done and known. In relation to this specific commercial, she admires the parody outlook it takes. Carrie also mentions another website called http://www.shaveeverywhere.com/ that openly promotes men shaving private areas as well. I personally believe, on the other hand, that these commercials should not be broadcasted publicly, even if they have a shock and entertainment value to it. There are other polite and well educated manners of portraying the right message. Grace Huang.
