Look at how the different sexs saw this photo: men see a chick in a suggestive pose, showing off her hip bones, women see a cute face and a big apple, and (maybe) felt a quirk of envy over what a great body this gal has. I'm not going to say that either reaction was the right or wrong one, it's just that these seem to be the usual reactions to ads like this. What would have been the reaction if it'd been a bland looking middle aged man holding an apple in a completely boring pose? Would it have caught the same amount of attention as this photo has? She's a girl and good looking, and that's what the media like's to use, (even if they are being good and selling apples)and everyone responds to pretty people. You have to admit that even though the obvious focus of the phot is the apple, the girl is a bit distracting- why use her? I love how this one photo has brought this many comments... I"m having another apple for lunch today, by the way. :)
