"revolution of ideals in the 60s and 70s"

Isn't it a bit hypocritical to boast about revolution of ideals and then deny an artist the right to make their art? With all due respect John, it is one thing to critique a song/video/commercial on it's merit, but aren't you a bit guilty of stereotyping since you admit that you haven't even seen the commercial?

There are plenty of examples of art "objectiving" women throughout the ages, but I disagree that this automatically encourages violence towards women. You can't hide sexuality, that was one of the changes that resulted from the "revolution of ideals in the 60s and 70s".
