[NPInfo] Fwd: Your Inquiry About Dentyne Ice. # 001002338A regarding the naughty nurse ad

[Carla Anderson]

Thanks Paula for providing the link. But ironically, I do not even belong, I just read about the ad and wrote a letter. I also think they do good work, and truly as their name suggests are nurse advocates. Carla

then more of us need to join the center for nurse advocacy. They do good work trying to protect out images. http://www.nursingadvocacy.org/news/2007/sep/27_dentyne.html

Hi,

This was regarding the new Dentyne Ice commercial ad. 

I sent a letter in support of the nursing profession, and just explaining that the ad portrayed a negative sterotype. I do not have any problem with humor, but I do agree with others that the "nursing" sterotype of either being naughty or sexy, or dim, seems to get more media exposure than the professional aspects of nursing. I think that is why it is important to provide a balanced representation, but obviously per the letter, the advertisers "approved" of us portrayed like this.. hmm If enough of us created a stir, than maybe it would become media material, and it would be great to see on TV news "Nurses protest against sexism in commercials, and a breakthrough, a major Advertiser retracted or pulled their commercial due to public outrage.. " that would be great to hear. Carla/Oregon
