Killing Us Softly

I bought Jean Kilbourne’s book, Deadly Persuasion, on a vacation about seven years ago, and I couldn’t put it down. It’s about advertising, and the kind of image that advertising makes us strive for, and how damaging it can be for women, for relationships, for everyone. It’s an amazing book.

Today on YouTube, some friends posted a video of one of Kilbourne’s latest talks, Killing Us Softly 4, which is being released on DVD.

Here’s a clip.
