KILLING US SOFTLY

In the advertising world, "sex is the message."
This subject will be addressed in the film
"Killing Us Softly", which deals with the images
of women and children in modern advertising.

This film, the last event in the Douglas College
Humanities Institute Spring series, is scheduled
for April 10 at 12:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. A
discussion of this film, hosted by Marian Exmann,
Coordinator of the Douglas College Women's
Centre, will follow.

Through their depiction as sex objects, women
and children are often exploited by advertisers
in an attempt to sell everything from perfume to
automobiles, says Exmann.

"It is important that we become aware of what
we are viewing on television and in the print
media," says Marian Exmann. "In advertisements,
women are seen to only have value if they are
young, beautiful and if they possess the 'perfect'
physique. They are seen to be obsessed with
trivial things and consequently are depicted as
not being very bright."

"Killing Us Softly" discusses the effects of this
portrayal of women and children in the media.
Women and children are depicted in a negative
fashion, which affects the way they form opinions
about themselves.

"| believe there is a direct correlation between
Anorexia Nervosa and the media images of
women", says Exmann. "Women are trying to
look like the people in commercials, but even

those models depend upon technology such as
air-brushing photograph touch-ups and mirrors,
to achieve that image."

This free event will be held at the New West-
minster Campus. The general public is invited
to attend.
