Poll Which ad should i use for the paper on media portrayals?

I have to do a critique of an advertisement for the WGS class i am taking this term. I am torn between these two at this point. I can write on either but i'm having trouble choosing. Help?

Just to nudge a little further, I say the PETA ad, especially considering the context. Mind you, I was wondering the context of that, and didn't check the context of the other one...

Strange, I can't find the context for the other one... Hm, maybe it's December 10th? Nope still no context... Sorry... I'd go with PETA...

While searching through the links on your ad I found this little gem.

According to madrona http://feministlawprofs.law.sc.edu/?p=4209 The Pepsi ad never made it to print. It's a leak from a marketing firm. It was rejected by Pepsi.

I know that.

This is a critique of media portrayal of females in an advertisement. Whether or not it made it to print is of less import than the fact that it was even made on spec.

I think the pepsi paper would be easier to write, simply because there is less to unpack and i'd be slightly less chocked with "What is wrong with you people" so would be more coherent if i were writing it. I say slightly, mind.
