I think you did a great job, don't listen to the smart asses trying to insult your project...

[sjoyf]

@TheIzzlyBear thank you

[DBMunplugged]

photoshop much? shit

[sjoyf]

@DBMunplugged seriously? its not photo-shopped, these are pictures of real people...



[RedwineSuccess116]

what grade did you receive??

[sjoyf]

@RedwineSuccess116 it was also a project that was not just a video. I was in a school for youth ministry and we were to choose a topic and come up with a way to start the discussion with teens, so for this project this video would be shown and a discussion about it and what it means by does thin = beautiful would follow and then the girls in the class that i would theoretically present this to would have to come up with their own video on the topic.

@TheSkyTheMoonAndMe Its not about being skinny. Anorexia is a serious mental illness, completely different from being just skinny

@Haseeebo you still are not understanding where i was going with the title and video, either that or you just love arguing and playing devils advocate. but either way, you arent getting the point of the title. i have said it before, and do not need to repeat, you can look back and see my previous response.

@404aqua that's offensive..

[Haseeebo]

@sjoyf The title does not reflect the meaning. Once again, that's like me sayin "So you think Muslims are peaceful?" and putting up terrorist videos. I could do the same for Christians, Americans, Chinese w/e. You're generalizing with extreme situations. People who watch this will associate thin with bulemic/anorexic. You're propogating the issue rather than helping it. You can intend to make whatever point you like, but if the point does ot reflect the title, it's useless. Anyways, I'm done.

@spaceispointless thank you for your comment and for understanding where this is going!

[sjoyf]

@nohomo29 actually in my research i found that in other countries they love models this thin, so they are real not photoshopped photos of models from other countries. and is not a lie, believe what you must, this is all from a well researched project.
