Boobs

A blatant exploitation of the female form this is a stereotypical sado-macho-sadistic album cover that relies upon preconcieved beliefs of women as sexual object. A clear denoted image of midrift and breast connote a
high perspective of derived intellect and male superiority in a society that still has a derogatory view of women.

The likeness of the belt to that of wonderwomans may be a reference to female empowerement through an icon of popular culture. The symbology of the american colours  red white and blue embellished with gold perhaps connote a certain integrity in the american audience but to a british audience, even thought we share the colours of the flag we still associate the values of christianity to the tainted and ignorant country that is America (stereotypically).

When listening to the band 'WEEN' whos album cover this is there is no relation to the representation in this image to the latin american sound of the artist and perhaps this album is a good exmaple of poor artist representation.
