Daily Titan, This Is NOT Okay

I’m feeling very proud seeing my fellow students speak out against The Daily Titan’s poor judgment and tasteless advertisement which is anything but clever or creative. EDUCATE yourselves instead of regurgitating the same trash today’s media produces. We go to school to change that and make a difference; not to mimic what’s already been done.

I'm sorry, but The Daily Titan REALLY should have ran this by someone before publishing it.  I don't know...how about by a professional, maybe?
You call yourselves Comm. and advertising students? Pathetic. ACTUALLY, you guys fit the bill just fine—creating a poorly-made ad that objectifies women, cuts away at their dignity, caters to mass media’s warped sense of reality,  and perpetuates the cycle of labeling and stereotyping? Yeah, you guys are PERFECT for this industry.
As a Comm. student myself, if it's anything I've learned it's that we are here to learn how to become better and more effective communicators- the kind that advocate AGAINST the means of communication that pervades today's industry.  We need to rise above all we see today and use our knowledge, skill, and creativity to shed light on information that sends maybe not a positive message to our audience (because really, not everything is sunshine and rainbows) but an EDUCATED one.
You ought to be ashamed and embarrassed to think nobody would speak out against this excuse of a “clever” or “edgy” advertisement.
