Miss Representation, an organization dedicated to ending sexism in media, has taken a look at sexism in advertising in 2012. The video calls out Carl’s Jr., Axe, Go Daddy, Teleflora, Hello Kitty, Dolce & Gabbana, Fiat, Barbie, Victoria’s Secret, Svedka, American Apparel and others.

The video raises a fair point. But just imagine a world in which we didn’t objectify women in advertising.
