Don’t underestimate advertising’s effect on women!

Jean Kilbourne offers some very relevant (if not disconcerting) information in her videos, “Killing us Softly”.  The video I have posted here is her 3rd version.  She has recently released Killing Us Softly 4 – which is even more worrying than the previous three editions!  I’ve posted version 3 here, however, because the most recent version isn’t available on youtube – you will need to order it… (I patiently watched the ‘preview’ version here).

Watch version 3 on the youtube link I’ve embedded… but I really recommend that you watch version 4… or even better – order a copy!   Jean only confirms what I have believed for a long time…  the damaging effects of our society’s advertising tactics on women (and particularly on young girls).

Below is part 1 of 4.   Click here for part 2… and here for part 3… and here for part 4…
