I am sure that by now everybody saw Rebeka, a juicy peach from the Vipava valley. I`m sure everybody expressed it`s opinion on the matter, be it “Nekkid chick! Whoo-hooo!” or “You`re going straight to hell for that one!“.
The issue I am going to debate here will be an ethical one, however, it will not deal with the usual “what to publish and what to censor” debate. I think that boat sailed long ago since naked skin is present everywhere and sex is one of the major propellants of the marketing industry.
Before we tackle this issues, a funny (yet somewhat unrelated) story. This billboard is featured all over Slovenia and there is one on a certain crossroad on my way to the faculty. When there is a red light and the buses and cars are standing still, the billboard is only two meters away from your eyes. Practical. And it`s interesting to see the way different people look at it. Some stare at it outright. No question asked. Some turn their head slowly, only peaking at it. But group no. 3 is the best. They do not look at it at all, but when the bus starts to move, they quickly turn their heads backwards as if ashamed of looking, and look at the billboard just long enough so that they can burn the image into their brain. Or something.
Anyway…moving on.
The issue I will tackle here can be subtitled theoretical intelligence transformation syndrom. In short T.I.T.S. The concept which this poor peach seemed to abandoned when she took the photo-shot. Seriously, this girl tits are like utters. They are literaly hanging from her chest and as much as biology and simple facts of physics are taken into the account, the photo (at least for me) does not have any sexual energy nor it stimulates me to buy the magazine cause of it. This peach is bad apples. And the only group who should be protesting is “Bulimia prevention of Slovenia“. Crucial points – thighs, waist and arms. In short, her whole body.
As far as the “Oh my god, what have they done!” groups go, a simple quote from Larry Flynt.
“I think the real obscenity comes from raising out youth to believe that sex is bad and ugly and dirty. And yet, it is heroic to go spill guts and blood in the most ghastly manner in the name of humanity. With all the taboos attached to sex, it’s no wonder we have the problems we have. It’s no wonder were angry and violent and genocidal. But, ask yourself the question, what is more obscene: sex or war?”
Go play in the sanbox, boy!
it’s udders, udders, udders… not utters! and, btw, it’s not such a bad case of udders…
ah! So that is why google did not come with any decent photos of udders. Thank you. And come on…those nipples are hideous!
Nuts… erm… ah, well.
Eh lepo te prosim.. kakšne bi pa morale bit joške po tvojem, če je ženska v taki pozi? Pač gravitacija nardi svoje. Te konkretno se še kr dobr držijo. Sicer pa.. si kdaj slišal rek “o okusih se ne razpravlja”? 😛 Sigurno boš našel 10 ljudi, ki jim bodo te joški všeč, 10 takih, ki jim niso in 10 takih, ki so nekje vmes.
Aja, še to.. se strinjam, da je ženska über suha ampak to je zdej popularno 😛 Ma veš kaj mi je padlo na pamet ob drugem branju tega posta… kako je lahko kritizirat druge.
May the one with the flawless bod cast the first stone!
It`s not flawless body per se. But this is a commercial we are talking about.
Commercials aren`t suppose to be real. They are suppose to be this ideal, made-up world where tomato sause washes right off and where kids behave all the time and there is no death.
And since they photoshoped the poor girl severly (just check her thighs), they could do something with her tits as well. Why leave it at half-way?

come on… since they photoshopped… since?! every nude is photoshopped before going to print. repeat after me: you do not see natural, non-photoshopped bodies. never. not in mainstream magazines. do not. period. and it’s not just removal of hair, covering strange melanoma-like spots and elimination of fatty tissue: it’s breast enlargement and leg stretching as well. and let me conclude by telling you that a non-photoshopped Jenny McCarthy looks… well… severely and utterly non-photoshopped… if you know what I mean… wink wink… nudge nudge…
