I do agree about the "attention" that these magazines are placing on the swim suit models and the "sexy" girl making pasta in cat ears. The intent that these magazines create is the opposite of the stereotypical person reading these magazines. (Let's assume college audience for discussion purposes) These magazines make people inclined to read into these things more. These magazines in my opinion are completely biased and outrageous to say the least. The sexy girl just makes you intrigued to see what other techniques that their "experts" give on how to spice things up. College guys crave the "stereotypical" model that appears in these magazines and women try to appear in the same way. I brought up a point in class that relates well to this post. I said that the media has a way of overreacting to certain topics brought up by someone and those that follow these media outlets, tend to follow their opinions. Both magazines most likely have a marketing team that looks into the psychology of their readers and those they are targeting, and they will try to appeal to them to get more readership.
