What were your gut reactions to this commercial? What do you think about the central message of the commercial? Be specific and give examples to support your ideas.
Two words that start with S... sad and sickened. Watching this commercial only increased my knowledge of how messed up our society is. Kids at the age of fifteen nowadays are getting plastic surgery and taking diet pills to be skinny. The media corrupts every one's minds at a young age telling you that to be pretty you have to be skinny and have an awesome body and a cute, symmetrical face and stuff like that. With these kinds of view also comes insecurity. I can take a personal experience... I watch TV all the time and read magazines and will see a girl that is skinny and has smooth skin and beautiful hair and I'll immediately feel small. Thoughts will run through my head, "My hair is too curly; I'm too 'fat'; Wow,my face is off proportion" and I'll go into these things that make me feel like I'm not good enough and everybody can see it. I understand that it takes your own self insecurities to believe that you really aren't good enough but... I mean kids are so impressionable at young ages. I agree with the commercial, talk your kids before the media gets a hold of them!
