MadAds

MadAds is a special weekly section in which we collect advertising from a certain company, organization, or around a theme and illustrate how the imagery reinforces dominant, harmful societal practices and beliefs.  Often, the images speak for themselves; whether it's the objectification of women's bodies, erasure and stereotyping of racial minorities, or reinforcement of men as violent, "normal," and capable, advertising reveals much about a culture.  Sometimes, too, we ask questions and share information that further expose the oddity and nastiness of modern advertising.

As always, Digest magazine is eager for your feedback and insight.  If you see advertising you would like us to include in MadAds, let us know.  Or, if you would like to collect and critique for a weekly MadAd's section, feel free.
