First, showing us an image does not create desire. 'Sexing' the image up and creating desire for it is what the advertising industry is all about. If it were as simple as showing a product, any idiot could do it. Packaging, presentation and context are what make images compelling in an advertising sense.

I kind of disagree. If this were the case, Rappers would not be an issue.

pretty sloppy stuff
