A woman's world

First, it's kind of sad to admit this but I saw this Friday night when I was sitting home watching TLC's Say Yes to the Dress (I realize my choice in TV shows is questionable that's not the issue). While watching the show this 2 minute commercial came on and to be completely honest I was kind of offended.

Maybe it's just me, but I think this does nothing but make women look shallow and superficial. Is the only thing that women worry about their hair, or how they look, or meeting a guy? I realize this is likely a take on Sex and the City, where you have 4 women living these glamorous lives that revolve around fashion, sex, and relationships, but part of the reason why Sex and the City was so popular is because most women wanted to be just like Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda.

In this video, why would any women want to be like one of these four characters - nothing but a middle aged woman who is unhappy with the way she looks. I could understand if these videos were funny than maybe they would be more effective but they really aren't, they more pathetic than anything.

What's even worse is that this is the premier of what looks like to be several of these videos on the website http://awomansworld.com/. While the premier was over 2 minutes, the next couple videos are only 50 seconds each, however that doesn't make them any better. In the next three videos, which are currently on the website, these 4 characters are worrying about what they look like in a bathing suit, they are get excited about losing weight when you're sick, and they are thinking about all the waxing and tanning they feel they need to do before they're able to wear that bathing suit. Again, in my opinion, each one of these videos makes women look worse.

I haven't mentioned what this videos are for. They are videos for Baked! LAYS, FLAT EARTH, and SMART FOOD snacks. Other than the premier, the products don't appear in the videos at all. There is information about them on the website but other than that, that's all you see of them. Personally, I don't think these videos do anything to promote these products in a positive light. If anything, choosing healthy foods should make you feel good about yourself, whereas all these videos do is highlight the negative things women seems to worry about.
