Seriously though, these women got paid to show off their bodies. They did it by choice, and werent forced to make this commercial. So, no they werent exploited as far as Im concerned.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11063860450941985593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-45576033347894110642009-10-15T04:46:11.816-11:002009-10-15T04:46:11.816-11:00Where are these advocacy groups every other night ...Where are these advocacy groups every other night of the year? How many teams have puck-bunnies? They "entertain" on-ice and have countless photo spreads on the official team sites. I find that content worse.<br /><br />I don't think Laraques should be scape-goated but rather, the entire culture be critiqued. It's too easy to get BGL to apologize and then say everything is okay again. There's more to it than that.Christopher Samahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189490788631747991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-89805000376958332492009-10-14T23:45:16.266-11:002009-10-14T23:45:16.266-11:00And once again you hit the nail on the head.

There is nothing artistic in the ad, evidenced by its borderline pornographic direction. It promulgates the kind of thinking that leads young men to rationalize gang-rape. That's what I find offensive about it anyway.Scott in Montrealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702697033209213403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-7454855014998226902009-10-14T15:18:17.092-11:002009-10-14T15:18:17.092-11:00Just had another thought: I find it somewhat hypoc...Just had another thought: I find it somewhat hypocritical of some women's groups who advocate for equal rights for women yet condemn those who choose careers or opportunities that involve being scantily clad or nude. I'm not saying that I agree with their choice of careers or that I think it's a dignified way to make a living...but, they are individuals and I assume that for the models in the ads, it's something that was freely chosen. I realize that the porn issue is much more complicated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772860969158389840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-23543948664664664462009-10-14T15:11:19.043-11:002009-10-14T15:11:19.043-11:00I enjoy your posts J.T., especially since, I belie...I enjoy your posts J.T., especially since, I believe, you're a Newf (as am I). Thanks. Regarding the hypocrisy, have you read many of the posts on HIO? If so, suggesting self-reflection for folks who have an issue with the guy images is like asking Dick Cheney to support an end to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of the U.S. military. Nice thought though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772860969158389840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-31636456724724498762009-10-14T13:54:51.500-11:002009-10-14T13:54:51.500-11:00It's so very true.

In the ESPN case, it was clearly women.<br /><br />We should just admit that this is and will always be the reality and move on.NailaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051264350972635364noreply@blogger.com
