Appropriate Advertising

Thanks to the Atlanta Journal Constitution for matching advertisements with stories:

That is so funny! I see this kind of thing all the time. Reader’s Digest had a great article addressing “sexting,” when young people take nude photos of themselves and send them via cell phones, and the article focused on positive body images and appropriate dress, etc. On the back cover was a Dove ad showing a nude woman (private parts carefully covered, of course, but still). I noticed an issue later that a reader sent a note saying how can we expect teens to interpret such a mixed message. Since then, RD has only shown fully clothed women and girls for the Dove ads!
