@Karmi: You've got a point there, Karmi. Brilliant analysis! Yes, you're right, it's because of instant gratification too.<BR/><BR/>@Asianmommy: Very true. There was a time that we were stuck in the traffic and I saw my son craning his neck uncomfortably to see something out of the window. So I followed his gaze and saw this really lewd billboard. Oh my, it wasn't fit for kids to see. It was

Hi, Dee! The Napoleon Brandy billboard had this line: Nakatikim ka na ba ng kinse años? (Have you tasted a 15-year-old?) Immediately, women's groups and child rights advocates called for its pullout being an assault to decency and a clear violation against the law on child abuse. This happened sometime in 2004.

Yikes! So not cool for young kids to see this.

I think a lot of it has to do with wanting or coveting what others have, and desiring instant gratification. ALso, another reason why sex sells is because a lot of people are lonely and very confused. Advertisers know this. Commercials that ooze sex make people want, and make people feel envious, and that's important to business. Of course it's not right, that's why it boils down to the

@Joji: Yes, it's really sad. And very low of them, I think. It sets a bad example to young kids. <BR/><BR/>The Napoleon Brandy billboard seems interesting. I'll do a research on that. Thanks for mentioning it.<BR/><BR/>@Elizabeth:That's true. It all boils down to money, I guess.

very sad but very true...sex sells and capitalists will do anything---even forgetting their values---just to get noticed and to earn big.

I remember the most controversial Napoleon Brandy Billboard in the Philippines spawning debate because of its double entendre.<BR/><BR/>It is indeed very saddening, what has come to man? And to think that these are in supposedly very civilized societies.
