If in execution this just means attempting to ban photo shopped models and only allowing regular photos of models, that's probably good. Let people aspire to be realistically attractive and fit, not a computer modified version of perfect.

This lady is too skinny for my tastes and I find the general thrust of the ad vaguely distasteful for many of the same reasons I assume Roylicious does, and and and and, get this, I still don't think there's a compelling enough case to be made to justify expanding government control over free speech.

If we're banning stuff in advertising, I'd rather it be stuff like ads that flood kids with the idea that sugar-laden foods/beverages are cool/good. Hell, I'd rather more serious legislation of both sugar content in foods and labeling of said foods take place than making legislation to ban ads promoting unrealistic body images. That's probably more serious a problem imo, at least for the US. I know that many European nations have more restrictions on stuff like food ads, packaging, and even sugar content in stuff like juice.

Also, I get that it's lovely to have to see photoshopped bodies held as the highest level of attractiveness constantly, but there are probably enough people around at this point that would find an ad of a fitness model wearing a bikini upsetting even without any photoshop. Kind of an all or nothing thing if you're banning these types of ads.

Clearly not the case any more. Hell, look at cereal in a lot of stores. They put that poo poo right near candy and the like and tend to market the sugary cereals more aggressively to children. Double whammy of advertising bullshit.

lol and guess what, there are still sexy skinny people in those ads.

A fat gently caress brushing her teeth ain't selling toothpaste fam.

Also, it looks like you are realizing that not all ads are the same and not all ads approach their audience in the same way.

I'ma take another tack here and say please keep saying fam idk why but I like it and you're the only poster that does.

You know that ads are hella brushed and shopped though right? Like you realize no human woman actually has those proportions in that Skyy ad you posted? Except maybe that Barbie lady I guess.

Nah I was skinny as a rail in HS and always felt like poo poo because the models were always just way better looking no matter what I tried.

Obviously I didn't realize how extensively everything is airbrushed and shopped at the time but I don't expect little girls to get that, either.

Just talk to some bulimics and ask why they started doing it.

Maybe they identify as fat. Why are you such a bigot?
