YAG: Addition Elle sets Feminism back 100 years
Categories:
We need PLANE CRAZY now more than ever!
So I'm driving my kids to school in the morning, listening to non-stop holiday music (yes, already) on the radio when an ad for Addition Elle bras comes on. I'm paraphrasing a bit, but here's the exchange between the mother and the teenage daughter:
Daughter: Mom, if this were the sixties, would you be a feminist?
Mom: If by feminist you mean celebrating my curves and embracing my femininity, then yes.
Daughter: So you'd burn your bra?
Mom: Oh no! I'd never burn my Addition Elle!
Egads! What were they thinking? So this is what the women's movement has accomplished in the past 40 odd years? However you have to admire the unabashed tacky exploitation of feminism to sell product! That's what I love about advertising, and why the ad guys are such an "upstanding bunch" in PLANE CRAZY.
I'm just thankful they're not advertising on TV...The Venus Flytrap anyone?
