Week 4 EOC: Exercise

 




This Dolce & Gabanna ad though vulgar to most it is advertising their jeans as well as their shoes. If you look closer as this ad you see some things most would not notice at first glance first there you would see a man standing with pants down around his ankles and another behind him sitting in a chair with no pants on. If you look closer you see in the corner another mans legs bending in front of the other man in a provocative position. The ad fits this particular brand since they were the first to target the gay consumer and their advertising has always been controversial. This ad was a remake of the Puma ad that had a women crouching in front of thee man and like most Dolce & Gabanna ads they spun it to fit their way of advertising. Subliminally suggested is a man giving the other oral sex while another man is sitting behind looking in that general direction. In history no one would ever think of advertising something so provocative especially something that is insinuating a gay sexual incounter. I feel this advertisement is intriguing it shows something that before would of been to much and is not trying to hide what many in todays world can not deal with while reaching a particular consumer group.
