I've tried to watch it twice and my browser froze both times. Is it the same as the one Dove is hosting on their site?

Anyway. The Dove one is disturbing as well if it is not, in fact, the same file.

Yeah, it is. Isn't that horrible? She's not even pretty to start with! She has mounds of acne! Mounds. And then the billboard ends up looking like that. The picture isn't even a real bloody person. The model and the ad look so little alike.

..Ugh. I get more upset about it the more I think about it. Did you know that models in magazines often have wire bracings on under their clothes? Corsets, effectively, to perfect their shape. And all the clothes are pinned and tucked around this wire frame to accentuate how falsely perfect the model looks. It's nauseating.

I agree! Thank you so much for sending this link out. I stole it and put it in my journal as well. Society needs to really understand the effects this has on children.
