Killing Me Softly-Advertising Images of Women


I was outraged of how advertisers used female bodies but mostly how the women allow themselves to be used for money. I think the people that are in charge of these ads believe they are adding value to a prouct. "OMG" The part where Cindy Crawford said she wished she look liked Cindy Crawford was scary. Her own image was so beautifully reconstructed she wish she was her. I need to learn Photoshop and add it to my computer. LOL ! The unrealistic expectations can be summed up as horrible and they should be banned from television. One thing for sure nothing has changed. This has been going on for years. The only difference is they are taking their clothes off or showing more skin. These ads make you feel you should look like this or look like that. These external forces need to get out of our heads and leave us in our biological bodies to be our self. I do understand that these ad agencies and their clients need to make money but do they really have to go that far. Why do they always have to used a women ? This is why we go and get cut on to be as beautiful as what we see on television. Or, when I use to work in the salon, people would bring pictures of how they want their hair to look and you would have to explain to them, It may not look exactly like that because of all the reconstruction done to the photo but I would try my best. Sad and heart breaking the whole thing is .
