I'm tired of women's bodies being used to sell shit

[Eloriel]

REALLY tired of it.

Here's a very intelligent blog of a person I find very intelligent, and very politically savvy. Apparently he's written a novel. An absolutely exquisite photograph graces the cover of the book -- and I do mean beautiful photo. Fine art, actually. But naked woman fine art, dammit, and AFAIC the cover just ruins everything for me, and disappoints me greatly about this individual whom I've admired so much.

Is the book ABOUT a naked woman? Somehow I rather doubt it. If not, that makes the use of a naked woman photo -- no matter how fine the art -- simply gratuitious.

As gratuitious as the nearly nude models and actresses, striking all those incredibly seductive poses, in the TIRE ad I saw on TV last night (Bridgeton????) of all things.

I'm just tired of it.
