Godaddy.com Commercial
During the Super Bowl i saw a commercial for godaddy.com that stuck out to me. The commercial was promoting the website by showing beautiful women in a court hearing about using "enhancement." The commercial was referring to enhancing websites using the services that godaddy.com offers but it was intended to sound like they were talking about breast enhancement. All of the women had large breasts and they were wearing tight shirts to show them off. They were also all smiling throughout the entire commercial despite being in court, a place that generally does not make someone happy. This commercial was implying that the idea of a pretty woman includes large breasts and smiles with perfect teeth. I think that it was also implying that woman may not be as intelligent as men because they were being tried by a number of male judges. There was not one female judge in the court and all of the girls lawyers were men. I think that this commercial is degrading to women and even though it very effective in promoting the company it is wrong. Not all women have to have large breasts or dress in tight clothes to be beautiful. They are definately smart enough to become lawyers and judges, just look at Judge Judy.
