Kilbourne’s central argument is that advertisements not only sell products but concepts of society and normalcy while, at the same time, depict people, such as women, as objects available for purchase.
I agree that Kilburne emphasizes the fact that advertisements directed towards females tend to commidify the female body, and I find it interesting that this commodification of body parts seems to be a rising trend in the media.
