30 seconds of objectification

There's a commercial for an LG cell phone that goes like this: A gil and her boyfriend are sitting down at a cafe and she's talking about something and two pretty girls walk by. The guy looks at the girls and checks out their backsides using his shiny new cell phone and then gets a text from his girlfriend saying "OMG UR A PIG!!"

How many things are wrong with this 30 second spot? Go! (I'm trying to start a discussion here!)

I can't think of anything because just your description makes me want to buy a cellphone oh so badly... SYKE.

Saddest part, is this is clearly targeted to TEENS.

It's actually not a girl and her boyfriend. It's LC and her good friend, Brody Jenner from "The Hills". Makes it not quite as bad, but the objectification is still awful.

He is a pig, but the girls who walked by scantily clad are just as guilty as he is. As women, we have to take some responsibility and dress modestly.
