In the case of actresses in maxim type magizines they are very clearly selling themselves in order to make money or promote a movie they are in.
So the industry producing the pictures is most definately trying to sell women as objects. I might be convincing myself that the pictures themselves are the problem and not just the comments

Actually in this case Maxim is paying the models/actresses to sell their magazine. Their publicists are telling their clients to take the money and do the spread to sell more tickets to the movies or calendars or whatever. The model is not the product, the magazine is. They can also sell more adspace in the magazine depending on who they end up with on the cover.
