Violent Advertising with Women is Bad - With Men, the Jury's Still Out

From The Hollywood Reporter:

'In the wake of a public outcry against Los Angeles billboards and New York taxicab tops advertising the upcoming movie "Captivity" with images of the abduction, torture and death of a young woman, After Dark Films said it will take down the offending ads by 2 p.m. today.

After Dark, its theatrical distribution partner Lionsgate Films and the MPAA received a barrage of phone calls objecting to the gratuitous depiction of the film's star Elisha Cuthbert being tortured and killed.'

I'm sure many of us can easily think of advertising examples with men being abused, killed, etc. Where's the public outcry then? While many don't think men matter, we can change their minds - support Glenn Sacks' campaign against anti-male, anti-father agencies.

"I'm sure it's effective (advertising), but it's not my style," said one unnamed marketing executive.

Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.
