The school girl ad in the NYT cracks me up.. Exploitation at it's finest!
Edited on Sat Jul-10-04 08:09 AM by trumad
Everytime I click on an NYT story there's that ad of the slutty looking school girl staring right at me. Damn thing fools me everytime because I think it's a pic for the story that I am reading. AND what's with this girls outfit?



NYT:

7. Well...I'm a guy so my exploitation is minimal
but I do hate the exploitation of others.... This ad's been on the NYT page for sometime... I'm surprised that there hasn't been any reaction to it...

I assure you that kind of attire won't work in the public schools here...

Its funny how that works.

5. What is This Ad's Target Audience?
Ostensibly, it's parents of children approaching college age. Why would Nationwide suggest their children are nymphettes? Methinks Nationwide's ad writers are sucking crack pipes.

10. exploitation???
for exploitation, I don't thnk anything can beat the shot of the young Marine in dress uniform, saluting w/ the stump of his missing hand as the Reagan cortege passed by.

nearly lost my lunch & when I unloaded on an old frend, a ret. Marine officer, our friendship crashed, probably forever.


:mad:

12. I don't know, but my daughter went to Catholic elementary and that would
have earned her a uniform violation.

13. Not positive but
I think the ad writers were trying to convey that the little girl was going to grow up before the parents have a chance to prepare for her college education.
