Sex Sells Overload
I KNOW I am going to get BLASTED for this post, but I don't care.
The makers of the poster I have displayed here obviously don't care what I think about their poster, so I should not care what they think about my post.
If the theory "sex sells" is still (obviously) in effect, I think we have long gone into sex sells overload.
I can no longer recall the last time I saw a poster for a show or party that did NOT have a half naked woman on it - and though I do not see many of these such posters and fliers because I do not partake in any of these cruises, fetes and such other events, except on some day some strange ill ind blows, THIS poster took the cake for me.
IS THIS what it takes to get people to come to a cruise? A woman that looks like she is wearing no bottom, another with her leg up high enough for you to see up her middle and another with her breast brazenly exposed for a PUBLIC flier?
Sure! No one cares what kids see or do not see in this country ( and the world) anymore. Hang these posters, and the Banks girl Calenders and all the half naked women of the world in the supermarkets and barber shops and corner shops where your sons and daughters go and stand and stare at what has now become the STANDARD for our society.
WILL anyone at the cruise be topless? Is this a topless cruise? So why is the woman here topless? And why could this, even if it WAS a topless cruise not be more tastefully done?
Is THIS what it takes to make people come up out of their eighty five dollars?
Look at the first headline - Bear Wutless Activities Promotions. That would explain this tasteless promo, no doubt. But have we fallen so far in morale that we depend solely on sex and slackness to sell or promote every single Bajan event?
Now tell me this what does the B.W.A stand for? For if it indeed represents any organisation starting with Barbados I am doubly upset. Yes, yes! We are all adults here, I have seen more than a breast or two in my lifetime and things I should probably have never seen, but this tells me we have reached the highest level of lazy. Just slap some half naked girls on a color background and Viola! A poster!
I really wish we could step it up in this country. But that might be too big of a wish to be granted.

These are the standards in Bimshire now. Unless we continue to fight against it nothing will change. The image of the bajan woman is changing to those of plastics
