Gendered Vocabulary in Toy Ads

Nifty wordcloud generated from toy commercials for girls and toy commercials for boys.

“I’ve always wanted to do a ‘mash-up’ of the words used in commercials for so-called boys’ toys. I did a little bit of this in my book, but now, thanks to Wordle, I can present my findings in graphic form. This is not an exhaustive record; it’s really just a starting point, but the results certainly are interesting.”
