		<description>Could it be that the ease of which the process of sexualizing objects is progressing is because of the way we have come to disdain our own bodies?  Is the advertising media instructing our minds to use an automatic mental disqualifier for each perceived flaw as a way to bar ourselves from seeing our bodies as sexually attractive?   Thus paving the way to sell us a product to fill the void?  If corn chips can give us a more impressive décolletage, then possessing these corn chips makes us more attractive (sexy) and less likely to be lonely.  Right?</description>

		<description>Well, I am not convinced it&#039;s completely futile. Not looking good at the present moment, for sure. 

But, there are things that give me hope. 

1. Awareness. We&#039;re becoming more aware of the strategy. 

2. When you eat spaghetti every day of your life it becomes something you don&#039;t want any more no matter how much you loved it before. We have come to the point past titillating and into saturation. 

3. John Zogby, wrote a book, &quot;The Way We&#039;ll Be.&quot; He&#039;s a huge pollster. He says this plethora of free sex everywhere all the time isn&#039;t just bothering women, it&#039;s bothering a large majority of men. He says they are coming to a point of &quot;had their fill&quot; and now crave intimacy. 

Once we reach that saturation level the marketing strategy will no longer work and they&#039;ll have to sell to our craving for intimacy. 

I don&#039;t know if he&#039;s right, but I hope he is. We can manage that by voting with our dollar. Also, I, for one, would be in favor of a rating system for commercials.</description>

		<description>&quot;People are supposed to be sexual, sensual, sexy. Not objects or things. But, a kajillion dollars in marketing and media has been spent to change that part of our brains. To make us associate sexuality and our sexual feelings with their product or brand.&quot; 

Very true, Tracee, and I don&#039;t know if there&#039;s any way to turn it around at this point. Even when the media does focus on a person being sexy, it&#039;s never the actual person, who&#039;s attractive because they&#039;re smart, or funny...instead it&#039;s &quot;Britney&#039;s tight ass&quot; or &quot;Lindsey&#039;s great boobs&quot; or someone else&#039;s &quot;smokin&#039; hot bathing suit bod&quot;.

So even the people are reduced to nothing but body parts/things.

		<description>Seriously I keep mentally deconstructing this Doritos commercial. 

Who wants Doritos to taste like, be associated with, sperm and silicone? Not yummy.

Especially like Jen said we already had &quot;better than sex&quot; feelings about Nacho Cheese Doritos in the first place because when you&#039;re married you can have all the sex you want - it&#039;s the DORITOS that&#039;s forbidden fruit!

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?</description>
