Killing us softly - advertising's image of women

Thanks to Keris for posting this short video about how the way women are portrayed in advertising is harmful. I thought it deserved sharing with a wider audience. I like the quote from Cindy Crawford who said "I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford."

If you ever wondered why Jo Swinson has spent so much time taking cosmetics companies to the Advertising Standards Authority and winning her case, this is a good summary of the arguments.

Thanks for your comment. As long as it doesn't libel anyone, and isn't abusive, I'll publish it. I try to respond to as many as I can, but please forgive me if I don't. Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day. I read and appreciate every one, even those specifically aimed at winding me up.
