exploitation or great promotion?!


Soon after the Chris Brown charges were announced and the police report made public, this ad featuring the victim began popping up..in heavy rotation. I have seen this ad during Judge Judy, Hardball and Heros...How can this NOT be a coincidence?
True, the fact remains that everytime the ad airs Rhi Rhi gets a check but what are the sabliminal messages?
*Reminding the public of the fresh, joyful Rhianna and erase the leaked police photo from our mind?
* Keeps a positive image of Rhianna in the for front and not that of a victim
*Covergirl makes great product that has hide (by her own admission) a history of abuse
* Covergirl (and Rhianna) need to get PAID and what a better tie in.
I have no plans to buy any covergirl product any time soon but I do stop and watch each and everytime it comes on..Hmmm
* Reminds the viewer of what an animal this man is.
