That’s what I meant. Advertisers have been shoving down our throats that almost-anorexic look for so long that when a normally thin person shows up, she’s could be seen or think herself as “fat”. The photo of the woman in the petals is a great example. On the original image, the girl was painfully thin. The remake looks like a normal, beautiful woman, with curves. And yet, she’s supposed to disgust us…
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

I host the feedback lists, which are maintained by drag0nfeathers.
http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmHa! I just looked at this, and what can I say…I can’t believe they thought these women would discgust people! I focus less on being thin than I do being healthy. You can be healthy and still not be stick-thin! Actually, being too thin and going on the bizarre diets that seem to be so popular here seem UNhealthy to me. 😕 The rose petal woman seems to have several fans! I wonder if she’s smiling because she knows the campaign was gonna backfire and people were going to absolutely love her?! 😀

Yeah! Its not what your body looks like. Its what it can DO! (Whether its march 100 miles in 4 days or keep you alive despite injuries.)

Sorry. I’m lost again. H4X?
Hax. Hacks. Cheats. As portrayed by that lion. 😆
The rose pedal girl is hot. She reminds me of the women in classic paintings. Advertising just disgusts me in general, like those Ads that make you feel bad for using actual cash because its supposed to slow everything down. There are so many problems with them. First off they show a world with no individual human interaction as being a good thing. They promote a society where everything has to be fast. And finally they have it backwards, the people that use credit slow everything down because they have to wait for approval and then sign a receipt.
That H4X picture is hilarious I have to show that to my dad he loves lions.I would help but I am just to tired to get out of bed today~
Engaged to a WeaselOh, I forgot to add that I do also thing it is old about what ppl have in mind as attractive. I believe that people should look on the inside and not the outside.
That pic is great, Snap. 😆
About the ad – when was the last time you saw something really ugly in an ad? This ad is for a low-fat yogurt. They couldn’t put up somebody ugly and fat or people would connect ugliness with the yogurt. So they had to follow the flow and put up something beautiful.
They kind of painted themselves into a corner with the whole layout of the campaign. 🙄
