Seventeen urged to publish unedited images

[TLM]

2. Why ask them to change?

Hey I just watched Superman, and I feel weak and inferior because I can’t fly or deflect bullets with my eyeball. I demand that the creators of Superman make him fat, slow, and weak… so I can feel better about myself.

Asking these kinds of publications to stop editing their pictures and use realistic images, is like sci-fi nerds demanding star wars and star trek shows remove the sound effects from space battles because there's no sound in space, and it’s not realistic.

If she does not like what they do, why not start up a mag that has real pictures of real people without airbrushing? Oh yeah, because that mag wouldn't sell, and would go bankrupt in about 15 minutes. Because if people want to see what real people look like, they can go outside.
