  • Essay / How Dirty Boys Get Clean - 885

    The advert features two attractive females cleaning various shapes of "balls". This in itself is misleading, but the men in the audience who have the balloons are unfortunately the subject of stereotyping, crudely, racially, the color of the balloons and the sports match the audience members who suggest them. After cleaning the golf balls, a white man holds up tennis balls, and after those, a black man holds up a sack-sized bag of soccer balls and asks "can he take care of my big bag of balls.” All the sexism and innuendo makes this ad simply disgusting to watch. This sends the wrong message to families and is truly offensive. This ad highlights the fact that the cultural influence on advertising is increasing so much that it is almost impossible to stop what is shown on television.
