What kinda (obvious and underlying messages does the magazine bring out to the public? men vs women?! ..2nd Q~This is for the cosmo readers.!!What strategies does it give women to be successful The underlying message and theme is and always was about SEX. It's founder, Helen Gurley Brown started that rag in the late 1960's. She roped lots of young women in it with stories of beauty and romance and then progressed to sex about as clever as a child molester. She was as ugly as sin but had a voice with a lilt that dripped money and did so like the world's biggest con artist. If you are looking to be successful in the bedroom...it is the rag for you because anything goes, anything. Basically America sells sex and sex definitely sells. We are a warped society...led by the evil and most cunning. Choose wisely. |
