Sociological Images: Seeing Is Believing: French Ad Uses Sex to Argue for Changing Housing Policies


"Certains prétendent que les étudiants n’ont pas de problèmes de logement...

Construction de logements pour les étudiants!
unef
le syndicat étudiant"


Explanation: "This ad came from an issue of the English version of the Spiegel. According to SocProf, it was "created by a French student union...to underline the issue of housing shortage for students," which is forcing many French students to continue living with their parents."

That line may work on European bureaucracies... But then again, the students can always take to the streets instead.
