blog week 7
Both pictures are very ridiculous to me. First the black women is made to look very dark almost blue in fact and she had on a leopard print outfit. The outfit makes me believe she is in comparison with an animal. In many pictures black people are made out to be animals, and in this one she is not completely an animal but she is half way there, and she has an afro like that is the only style the African Americans do to their hair which is very far from the truth. She is constrained down as for the rest of the items in the picture, I don’t know if that is a part o the “art� of the picture but she doesn’t look comfortable at all and she looks like she would rather be doing anything else.
The other picture that says, “The chef does everything but cook, that’s what wives are for.� This is crazy in my eyes other people may have their opinions about it. The slogan really doesn’t make sense to me because if that is what wives are for then what is the purpose of having a chef in the first place. What exactly is this chef doing. The wife is hugging the husband from the back and smiling as if she is okay with this, but women are made out to be the servants of the mans wants and needs at anytime of the day, and if she is not available then she is not doing her job. Maybe I am just reading it wrong. Maybe the chef is the wife and when she cooks she is the called the wife instead of the chef, well I really don’t know but this advertisement is not okay at all.
