Comments on: How to Write a Complaint Letter About an Ad http://about-face.org/blog/archives/191 Media trespasses against us Sun, 07 Sep 2008 07:27:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Samantha http://about-face.org/blog/archives/191#comment-13681 Samantha Tue, 27 May 2008 15:09:46 +0000 http://about-face.org/blog/archives/191#comment-13681 I really need your help! All help is welcome, in fact! I am brazilian, I am proud of my country, proud of many woman that made history showing their gifts without being appelative (Pagu, Clarice Lispector, Leila Diniz, Fernanda Montenegro, Astrud Gilberto, etc). But I am also sad about the problems of my country, as any country in this world has and I am also tired of brazilian woman that think only about their appearance and whose that don't care do be "gringo souvenirs". I really love this website, and I'd like to show here my indignation towards this ridiculous ad: http://adage.com/bigtent/post?article_id=126992 Many woman in the blogosphere showed their ire towards this. It is offending. It hurts. It only make stereotipes grow even more. Please, help me! Help brazilian woman. Some of us don't even know about this ad, because they can't read in english or just because they don't know about it. But I am sure that these girls will suffer the consequences of this stereotype when a tourist visits here. I really need your help! All help is welcome, in fact!
