Objectified

I notice that some TV product ads, have lightly dressed, slim, young women in the ad.  The product advertized is saying, "have this product and you get this look or this type of girl for your satisfaction."  It is called "objectifying women."  Take beer for instance.  I doubt tht young women can believe that beer drinking will make them or keep them slim.  But guys are being sold on the idea that if they drink this beer they will "get" this type of girl.  It is all about satifying the fantasy life of "getting."  It has nothing to do with love, giving, or the body as a way to grow in holiness.  It is all pretty self-centered.  The media and our culture try to put alcohol and sex together.  One goes with the other.  See Frat parties.  What is even sadder is that too many young women and girls buy into this in some way.  "Get thee to a nunnery!"  Well, it was an attempt at a solution.  Did any of these ladies go to expensive Catholic schools?  Say it isn't so.
