Jean Kilbourne - Women in Advertising

Jean Kilbourne is an author, a feminist and a filmmaker. My girlfriend passed along this video (there are actually 5 parts to the speech) where Jean discusses women in advertising. While much of the video is disturbing and frustrating, Jean is quite humorous and has a very unique way of approaching the subject of exploitation of women as a product.
