Obama Girl Videos

Great post from Jen Moseley on Feministing and Alternet the other day. I couldn't agree more. From my Myspace blog:

"There was a great post from Jen Moseley on Feministing the other day on the Obama Girl (and Guiliani Girl) videos going around. I agree with Jen - it isn't funny. And it's so tiresome to see scantily clad women being used for everything in the media, even the presidential race. When are we going to realize that the relentless sexualized images of women in the media have a direct effect on the lives of women? There is a direct relationship between the portrayal of women in the media and how society perceives women in real life (and, incidentally, treats them). How many women have to suffer before we put a stop to it?"
