Sometimes on my blogs you'll hear me use a phrase "Cradle to Grave Marketing". It's a phrase I was taught in my time in youth advertising. I found a lot of ideas and stuff I saw during that time completely unacceptable sometimes disgusting and something I think every American should know about. Especially what was happening to young girls. Most of the people I knew from that time either quit for the sake of their souls and became ski instructors or teachers, or completely sold their souls.
So I low key did a few youtube videos. I'd like to share them with the steemit community! They should be watched in order.
I also wrote a bit about it in this story I wrote for Steemit.

I'm an amateur youtuber and writer but I hope you find the information enlightening.

I totally agree, this type of advertising has always been disgusting, basic, yet sadly effective. But you're also a doing damage. Lesser but still. First off lets get the facts striaght, there are several broad parties involved. The ad people, the innocent kids, the people who eat this shit up, you and your cottage industry of whiners, and the normal people who see this shit, disapprove but cant really do much other than proportionally fit it into the matrix of horrible shit we have to deal with everyday. Secondly, you are adressing the completely wrong audience, and resexualizing the whole issue while we are trying to just live our lives and fight for our particular passions. It's like the fire department showing up to a burning house and knocking on all the neighbors doors being like, 'yo that shits on fire!!'. Ummm maybe you should find specific actors(as in bad actors, as in egregious ad agencies), and take issue with them.. blow up their spot so the normal people can focus our collective disgust towards them.. Kind of cowardly to expect that you can just, 'wake up' all of us and we will do all the work, bet that would feel good to just whim all the improvements we want into existence. Sorry, your crusade is a sick obsession to most people when you just ambush us with a hardon for this shit.
Thirdly let me postulate this, what if the world existed where all advertising was super sexualized as extremely as the imagination can stretch. But, everyone was completely happy with it. All parties for generations, no issues. If you popped into the world I don't see how you could do anything but cause damage to objectively content parties. The point is you are on a moral crusade, you believe you're view is supreme. But we have laws, yes we have a lot of idiots and shallow dirtbags. But there are limits that people need to stay within, it leaves most of what we both dislike relagated to the realm of inuendo. Overt, probably. But if your like me you would just ignore it. Just like the hardcore gay basher/christian extremists always turn out to be the most extremely closeted gays. TLDR This is truly a horrible standard we have set. But you're just treading water, trying to convince people that food is way to unhealthy, convincing people who don't own guns that guns are bad, telling the fastfood worker that wages/hours are fded up in this economy. Hope sexualizing our attention for 10 min while you beat off your ego was all you thought it would be.
