If they had enough suggestions, they may take it on board?? Lady Rose I agree totally, there should be an equivalent for men…maybe we could suggest it to them.

I'm glad you liked my advice and lyrics for "Stop in the name of health before you kill yourself" It's a great tune to have stuck in your head to keep you focused on Health! Having the song title on the refrigerator is also a great reminder to make you think before opening that door and eating when you are not really hungry. I truly LOVE the Dove true beauty videos and their message. I hope everyone who hears about them gets one and watches it with their children, and get a few extras to pass on to teachers and girl scout leaders too (they are FREE). I wish there was something equivalent for boys and men too - weight loss and self esteem are not just issues women deal with.

I checked out the video too, it's a bit freaky, but gets the point across. Thank you for that! 2Perfect - I agree totally! The media have a lot to answer for in my view! I appreciate the input from you both!! :-) Frank – thanks for your comment! I checked out the video too, it’s a bit freaky, but gets the point across. Thank you for that!

Sadly relative to the people that don't, very few people realize this as they grow up. They think that to fit in, you have to be like everybody else. I mean really, if you don't like yourself for who you are, you can't expect others to like you. Be who you want to be and not what media tells you to be, nor what you think others want you to be.

The Photoshop part is always fascinating - how they can totally alter the size and shape of her head and lengthen her neck. Another short film in the same vain is 'Doll Face'. It's a bit scary but ultimately makes it's point well about striving for beauty that is unattainable. http://www.watchthisvid.com/latest/doll-face.html This is a good commercial, I put it up on my site a while ago and have seen it quite a few times now.
