Hanes Her Way

For this weeks readin there was an essay written by a student about an advertisement. The title was hanes her way. Although the essay was well written there were some outragous statements made in her essay. For example, the author stated that the gentlemen in her advertisement looked into the laundry hamper and saw a worn pair of underwear and it reminded him of his mother and his childhood. I dont have any idea as to what would make a man think of his mother while looking at not only a dirty, worn pair of underwear, but his girlfriends underwear at that. I believe that he needs to reevaluate his relationship with his girlfriend and his mother because there is something extremely wrong with that picture. Another wierd statement was the fact that the women in the commercial was apparently wearing granny panties, I dont know why the advertisers would make granny panties a main product to sell because sex sells in America. I figure that if you want to be successful in the advertising business you would utilize sex and make women feel sexier in the clothes you were trying to sell. I dont want to go out and by Hanes underwear because when Im 40 they will look nice in a laundry basket, or because they will look nice even when they are worn and dirty. Some commercials confuse me and make me a like sick to my stomach.
