I've felt that it's okay for advertisers to do these things to an extent. It fuels the freemarket and boosts our economy. However, is it right for the media to create depression/eating disorders/lack of self confidence in girls? The advertisers have seen the statistics. They KNOW that what they are doing hurt people. That's not right. However, it is their right to legally edit those pictures. It's the diffrence between what you CAN do and what you SHOULD do. Legally, advertisers CAN and should be able to make that desicion, but MORALLY, they shouldn't. Do you understand what I'm saying? When you view it from a purely economical viewpoint, it makes sense to edit pictures. Or at least, when you look at it from a one-sided economical viewpoint. Don't forget about all those hospital bills for girls who have cut themselves and developed eating disorders. Don't forget about all those shattered lives. When advertisers edit photos, they are looking out only for themselves, and care only about themselves, not about the thousands of girls they crush everyday. Obviously this is not right. I understand your viewpoint, in the sense that the whole business is perfectly legal and logical, but it certainly is corrupt. Love, Mar :D
