Killing Us Softly - Adverting and Gender

The way advertising represents women is not innocent. That's what Jean Kilbourne shows us in the documentary Killing Us Softly 3.

Merry Christmas!

"Don't Shoot Me Santa" is a song by the Killers. It was released in November 2007 .

Unfortunately, it was impossible to embed the official video, but you can find it here.

But it was fun, making it and I managed to transmit my view of the poem. Here are some examples of poems that can also tickle your creative side.
