Olympissed
Olympic ad wrap up: We at the AAA can’t have much of an olympic ad piss party because we were so disgusted by the political and social justice issues surrounding the olympics themselves. We were too busy watching our friends and allies get abused, detained and harassed while most tv viewers drooled over swimmers’ abdominals. [...]

“The reason I have eyeballs is because of my irreverence.”
Emily returns with another in our series on mommy bloggers! Today the New York Times reports on a “trend” of women bloggers as a target for advertising. Advertisers are betting that the trust and intimacy that come from talking about sex after motherhood or reading about a blogger’s battle with postpartum depression will translate into [...]
AAAFFF On Chicago Public Radio
This morning Chicago Public Radio’s show Eight Forty Eight did a piece on the Anti-Advertising Agency’s Foundation for Freedom. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] The promise of cable TV all those years ago was that by paying for the service, you could avoid the commercials.

Live active culture!
The blog Poplicks.com posted some amazing Brazillian ads for yogurt on Friday. The tagline, when loosely translated, reads, “Forget about it. Men’s preferences will never change.” The images are voluptuous takes on famous film stills. It’s got me thinking, well… why not? Historically tastes have shifted quite a bit. Junichi, the blogger of Poplicks, seems [...]

Webs of Empowerment
I wasn’t sure what I was going to think about the following website. After all, we third wave feminists are always at each others throats for being the “wrong kind” of feminist, since through the past 30 years there have been fads in believing every tangent of contradiction possible.
