There are "smarter" ways to appeal to the lower-intelligence demographic. I hate to reference the Axe Deodorant Body Spray ads, but the most recent ads put the sexy women in a position of power. They're still pretty much naked, but as T pointed out, as long as this continues to be a straight white man's world, this will never end.<BR/><BR/>This ad certainly cheapens the already poor perception of the station.ktothefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655720630714309328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23869235.post-20965868662496790902007-10-15T19:51:00.000-04:002007-10-15T19:51:00.000-04:00Project 9-6-1 is a hunk of shit radio station.

In fact, I find myself more offended by it aestherically than politically/socially.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489424880198887882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23869235.post-69700490268389555702007-10-15T12:17:00.000-04:002007-10-15T12:17:00.000-04:00Feel like I've already seen it in C.A.

Although, when you have to spell out the obvious intent of this message- by actually STATING the message, you've pretty much stooped there anyway.<BR/>I looked at the pic and thought "ooh yeah", but read the messages and thought "oh no...that went too far..." I felt uneasy by that message. I've showed this to several (male)coworkers to get their reaction, and they're like: "so...what's wrong with that!?" I was not surprised... That makes me more uneasy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23869235.post-68400044858496730382007-10-14T22:57:00.000-04:002007-10-14T22:57:00.000-04:00Jessica = not prude.

And being sent to thousands of households. <BR/><BR/>On a similar note of woman as object/suggesting rape: Has anyone heard of real dolls (go to the website). It is a $6000 sex doll that can be made to look childish or very grownup. Again, a "ride" to obtain and win that perhaps is creating more problems than it solves.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890968285094725982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23869235.post-41407421178566115992007-10-14T22:19:00.000-04:002007-10-14T22:19:00.000-04:00oh tania. it would only be trashy if she was sprea...oh tania. it would only be trashy if she was spread eagle. i think its quite tasteful that her knees are slightly turned inward, making her "ride" a little less accessable. <BR/><BR/>and as a side note, if the person who wrote the copy for this ad is over 21, he should be ashamed of himself.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126620304624965646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23869235.post-37113574215113885212007-10-14T20:59:00.000-04:002007-10-14T20:59:00.000-04:00Don't be a hater!!!
