lol cheaper then getting an actually good looking model? Its funny when you actually see them change her eyes she looks like an alien but if you didn't know they did that, you would think it was normal. Some ladies actually are that hot though.

Every time I try to post something of actual length and value on livejournal, it goes and gives some B.S. error, and then erases everything I wrote. GRR, LJ frustrates me more often than most things...I swear, I can recall so many times where LJ has made me exit, because two or three paragraphs were lost to an unspecified error while posting.

I don't feel like rewriting what I wrote now...

Some thing along the lines of "Oh woah is us in our society obsessed with outer appearances and not the inner workings of the soul", but more to the point

I think that the airbrushed model is hanging out on the slopes of Uncanny Valley. :)

FWIW, I'm afraid I tend to be hesitant to trust the good looking, if only because I know that there is an unconcious bias towards trusting them -- beautiful people tend not to be convicted of crimes, for example. I'm not sure whether this sort of campaign can be particularly helpful in their stated aim, especially given the kinds of people in the programs between the ads; compare and contrast the cast of American shows with British ones, for example.

(I can't talk about Canadian shows, because... well, I haven't watched much Canadian TV. Do they only have "pretty" women on-screen there, too?)

i think it's too bad that this has been going on for years and only now has somebody bothered to point it out.
