I disagree with the blog's point that the ads should not incite outrage from feminists. I think that's what she's saying. But yeah, it's a strange situation when you have a revolutionary like Sasha Grey posing for these American Apparel ads. She's pretty darn savvy when it comes to navigating the treacherous social, reputational, and legal realms of the porn industry. She takes control of her career and does everything on her own terms, people say. That's cool.
The ads themselves definitely give out a bad vibe, despite the tough chick at the center of them.
I think anyone visiting the store's site either gets the creeps or gets a hard on (which one did I get, dear readers? Ho ho!). Either way, the woman being positioned just rubs me the wrong way (or do I rub myself... the position.. the right way... Ho ho!). It's art, perhaps. Surrendering your curves and pelvic bones to a clothing company's marketing campaign. You draw attention to Ms. Grey's body and the consumer associates the feeling of arousal with the company name.
Just note that the ad campaign is limited to a few websites.
I think my incoherence is worsening. Night classes at the local community college, here I come. (Ho ho!)
