I was just browsing the internet. To be honest I was actively looking for something to post here, as I didn’t post yesterday and the subject I could have written about today, my meeting with Jodie, didn’t materialise. I was just taking gander at the bbc news website, then, when I stumbled on to something which frankly appalled me: this video-article, about the use of scantily clad women to sell stuff at tech shows, is shocking. Now, I have nothing against nudity,, and try to be open minded, but it seems to me that such practices turn women into things rather than people. What’s more it conveys the message that the gizmos on show are only for men, and that women are irrelevant the market, which seems a very misogynistic message. At the very least, if they must sell things that way, shouldn’t there be men in boxers and baby oil as well as women in bikinis? What pisses me off the most, though, is the elderly American guy on the tape trying to tell the reporter it is a non-issue, and that they are in the wrong for making a story out of it. Stupid old letch!
