The main objective of the present research is to analyze the stereotype of the objectified woman in the Brazilian society as it appears in the national beers TV commercials. Other objectives are: to demonstrate that the extended use of different genres, in special TV commercials, has significant advantages for the teaching of Portuguese as a foreign or second language, and for the teaching of other languages in general; and to demonstrate the usefulness of bringing the discussion of stereotypes to the classrooms and not treating it as a taboo, once the stereotypes related to our culture (and to every other culture) need some rethinking in order to be deconstructed and reconstructed with the help and guidance of language teachers. Once a great majority of the national beers TV commercials also explore the tendency for Indulgence of Brazilians, that is, we tend to allow relatively free gratification of basic and natural human desires related to enjoying life and having fun (Hofstede, Hofstede e Minkov, 2010: 281), the theory of Hofstede, Hofstede e Minkov (2010), more specifically the dimension named Indulgence versus Restraint is used to relate the stereotype of women reinforced in the national beers TV commercials and the characteristic of Indulgence of the Brazilian society. The commercials selected for the analysis are examples of one typical characteristic of the beer commercials in the Brazilian culture: the feminine body is exposed with the intention of transforming the woman in a product to be consumed.
