This Image

In an add for an organization I support and believe in, I unfortunately found an image that was somewhat questionable in its message. The organization was PETA which is a promoter if animal rights and good and fair treatment of animals. In an add promoting vegetarianism there is a woman "dressed" like Uncle Sam in the iconic "I Want You" poster but she is wanting us not to join the army but to become a vegetarian. She is in a bikini top and her breasts are the focal point of the picture. She is a blond, tan, and extremely made up woman.

This image is gross. Sex is used as a manipulation through exploiting woman and there bodies. Its upsetting. I absolutely would have noticed this image before class because its off the wall!
