Personally, I don't care what the ads or the magazines do.

I just care that people are educated about it and that they don't believe all they see.

Well, I suppose Photoshop is better than making/letting models starve themselves to death.... But what is the purpose of this ad? The poor girl's looks sure wouldn't inspire me to buy the clothes she is wearing.

I'm with you, original poster. It is not only vile that this image went through god-knows how many hands as a good thing and vision of beauty, but that when someone points out how disgusting that is, they get served with a court order to stop them objecting. Stupid eejits.
Big yay for Brigitte for their 'no more models' policy, though. Pity I don't read German...

it's not just about the sale of clothing. The fact is most young girls don't realise just how photo shopped models are, so they get perverted ideas as to what they should look like, and what is even humanly possible.

Yah, I don't even look at ads anymore because they look so cartoonish. But I feel sorry for the younger girls who may think this is 'normal".

I'm in my 40's and well educated and know full well ALL magazine images are photoshopped, but I STILL get influenced by them! I STILL look at women and think, 'Damn she looks good, I want to look like her' ' before it enters my mind (if it does at all) that the image has been enhance, altered, photo shopped, etc.

I have a daughter and it doesn't matter how much I educate her, the images make a difference.
