Sex, Sex, Sex...

I couldn't find a picture for this Blog, They all just seemed to, Sexy. And I'm not selling my blog =)
Sex sells, all kinds of sex, from the cutest to the crudest! Herbal essences, Axe Deodorant, Head 'n' Shoulders and varios other types of products, music and films are an example to this. Have you ever asked yourself why sex sells? Because we want it to. We see orgasms in the shower, and we buy Herbal essences! I bet most of you are denying it at this point" I don't buy it for the comercials, blah, blah, blah". Please Shut Up.
Freud once said that - People don't know what they want, they are constantly getting pushed one way or the other by their senses, what they think looks good, smells good. And he's right! When I go out I don't necessarily plan every single second, I go into different shops, maybe stop for lunch, have a drink, which is decided by my senses.
Every day people complain, "sex sells, oh how awfull! this stupid industry!" (then goes out and buys some of the worst products)
If you think this "sex sells" product that the PR- Industry are selling is horrible, then don't buy it, there is always another option! But ask yourself aswell, you are buying something as easy as shampoo, which comercial would you like?
A) Girl with delux messy hair goes into shower, sings Twinkle little star then comes out with shiny.
or
B) The typical Herbal Essences, girl in shower has orgasm, flowers all over, funny neighbore listening and makes a comment.

I would probably go for the B... Just being honest.

But I also thinks the industry has gone too far! I mean, Norwegian Yellow Pages comercials! Jeez, an middleaged couple having a hanky panky time, when the wifes husband comes in and says "can you find the number for a divorce attorney please? and so on.. then all three of them are going to the yellow pages on internet, book and cell-phone.
Ikea comercial? "Come on Gunnar". Yeah, they are funny! but watching a lady get F****d from behind doesn't make me go "Come mum, let's go to Ikea! Lane wants a new table!"
Hello, Wake up!, think logically! Buying the product you hate the Idèa of how they are sold, doesn't help! stay away from it, but within reason, because we also like these commercials, we just need to keep them under control.
