Plastic Surgery[edit]

She talks about negative consequences of offering unreasonable body image. The most gruesome example of that is plastic surgery. It appears fairly obvious that she herself went through a facelift. Should that be mentioned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.195.252.14 (talk) 01:09, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The additions explaining the topic of her videos that I added are valid. The reason they can be validly labeled as crypto-socialist is because she rallies against the advertising in question WITHOUT offering a solution. The reason for this is because the only possible solution is for goverment regulation of advertising, which is a form of free speech. Thus, what she is truly arguing for is for the government to step in and take away first amendment rights. The advertisments in question are not obscene nor do they endanger anyone's safety, so a regulation of them that respects first amendment rights is impossible and invalid.

Looks like this article was written by Kilbourne or her publicist or a paid WP editor[edit]

Just got a notice from my university that Jean Kilbourne will be visiting us. Notice says:

Kilbourne is internationally recognized for her groundbreaking work on the image of women in advertising and for her critical studies of alcohol and tobacco advertising. In the late 1960s, she began her exploration of the connection between advertising and several public health issues, including violence against women, eating disorders and addiction, and launched a movement to promote media literacy as a way to prevent these problems. A radical and original idea at the time, this approach is now mainstream and an integral part of most prevention programs. According to Susan Faludi, "Jean Kilbourne's work is pioneering and crucial to the dialogue of one of the most underexplored, yet most powerful, realms of American culture–advertising. We owe her a great debt."

So I come to WP to learn more, and find exactly the same language. At first, I thought a lazy person at the university had copied and pasted from WP, but WP doesn't have the Faludi quote; Dr. Kilbourne's own site does. What with the notices at the top of the article, I'm surmising this article was written by on on behalf of Kilbourne. Yopienso (talk) 03:21, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
