MEDIAWATCH
FOR FEBRUARY - As of 2/24/02 After reviewing some of these topics, we encourage you to
write the corporations and the government and give them your
viewpoint. Change doesn't usually take place when only one
complaint is received. If you want to be part of the
solution, let them hear from you! Here's
how. AT&T

Mireni is a remarkably effective and safe method of birth

This ad appeared in a men's magazine, Men's

the ads in Men's Health? That I'm going to "Respect
myself in the morning" by looking at an attractive woman
with two cinamin roles glued to her butt? That it's actually
going to encourage me to eat Nutri-Grain? I don't
think so. Mainly because Kellogg's has become tasteless.

This web site, out of Antioch, CA, uses the name of Old Crow
Bourbon, and glamorizes serial killers, promotes sexism,
racism, and homophobia, and suggest getting a girl drunk and
then raping her. And that's just for starters.
"Levi's ads are usually wryly witty instead of creepy.
