I don't see a problem in the MAC advertisement. There are always some sort of collections specialized in making customers look like this and that... like party collection/smoky eyes, spring collection/nymphs, holiday collection/santa sl*t...etc. Barbie is just one of the images women are likely to emulate, just like Audrey Hepburn or Rachel from Friends years ago. I can see why people find controversy in that ad, because M.A.C. is objectifying women. But advertising is supposed to objectify people, so customers can easily follow the ideas projected by just buying the products. (I have to say, initially I thought that, in that logic Armani Cosmetics Python and Crystal collection ads should be banned too because the ads persuade people to look like snakes and crystal.

That "blow in her face" ad is really stupid. Were the advertisers that stupid to think the line would work?

That's a pretty provocative ad... reminds me of a very similar lingerie commercial couple years ago. The woman in commercial was on a mechanical bull and doing those moves as if she was having sex as well...
