  • how ironic is this.. the ad on the top right of my screen right now is "Learn how slimband can help you lose weight and keep it off"  wtf...

  • As a male, I am sickened by how the media portrays women. Sure,weighing too much is bad, but they push the whole "get thinner" thing too far. The fact that some guys are that shallow also pisses me off.

    I'd rather have a woman who is slightly overweight (adding to the cuddle factor) than one who looks like nothing more than skin and bones.

  • Isnt it sick? The last picture: those are women with an AVERAGE weight..

  • @yoyo5678x Same here. I had no idea how much work it took for these to look the what they did.

  • @TheEvilPickle75 Oh Pickle.....

  • I fell sorry for the woman who is all bony... :-)

  • I don't like it when people fight fire with fire, I don't get it how people can say "accept all body shapes" and then hate on thin women.

  • I think the real symptom problem were facing now is not only do these poor maleable young girls think they need to look sexy, but that they actually need to participate in promiscuous sex to be liked or for status. They see it everywhere they look and of course at the end of the day they are told repeatedly that its not only acceptable but appropriate. I don't think parents were ready for the 90s. I'm absolutely terrified of raising a daughter is such a horrid culture.

  • the everyday woman i see walk down the street everyday is a million times better looking than these celebrities, women should not buy these trash magazines and just turn of the shit television that tells us everyday that we are not good enough! women are like flowers and we are all beautiful in our own way, ignore these celeb trash, love yourself. every photo you see of a celeb in a magazine has been photoshopped up the wazoo!

  • I remember being around 11 when I first started reading teen magazines. I didn't know anything about photoshop or airbrushing back then, so I thought the women in the ads were naturally ridiculously clear skinned and skinny. My friend and I used to complain about how "fat" we were. I was 11 and she was 10... that makes me shudder, looking back.

  • Beautiful message!!!!
