1. One wonders how lingerie marketing could not be sexist...

... but the video is addressing a larger question.

3. The larger question seems to be does society reflect marketing

...or is it the other way around?

I don't think too many are all that conflicted on the question.

4. Earlier, that would have been "does Art imitate Life?"

But aesthetics is a much less compelling subject than marketing.

5. Marketing is certainly not art

Although most marketing does involve varying degrees of artistic expression. If one were to draw parallels between those two things, would anyone really want to live in a world where art doesn't exploit gender differences?

[malthaussen]

6. Ooh, that's a dirty question.

I like it.

I'll agree that marketing is not Art, as in fine art, but it is an art, as say ceramics or cabinetmaking. A craft, if you prefer.

7. I see it as engineering is to science

[malthaussen]

8. Yeah, that's a good analogy.

Applied as opposed to abstract.
