The two studies that were conducted in each chapter are quite believable and shocking at the same time. Children's programming is a gateway for society to leak into the child's mind and tamper ever subtly with it. By putting trace amounts of sexual references into the ads, the companies (and whoever else might participate) condition children that what they see on Tv is what they should see (and get) in real life. That flawless woman that you just saw on the Victoria's (not so) Secret commercial, well you should marry her or else you screwed up. Come on people.
On the topic of pornography in fashion... yes. I say yes because, like the study showed, fashion and pornography are almost beginning to appear to be two versions of the same thing. The only thing that separates them anymore is the little black censor bars (that we call clothing) that they make them wear for the shoots. Its ridiculous, if i wanted to see a pornstar modeling shoes i would watch an x-rated film and look on the floor of the shoot, not inside a copy of any magazine. We ask why our children expect so much, in terms of beauty, from society while the answer sits under our nose.
