Library Marketing

In these wacky consumerist and message-saturated times libraries, too, must compete for attention.

Wyoming Libraries has a pretty slick ad campaign which has some witty bumpersticker slogans but also includes a modified "mudflap" girl. I don't know how I feel about this. On the one hand, it is an image that has been modified and does not necessarily carry the misogynist overtones of the original image.

On the other hand, I immediately recoil at the sight of the image, even though it's modified, because the original is such a powerful one of the objectified female form.

Thoughts?
