THE MEDIA LIES

Blog response;

Yes, I do believe that media has gone way too far with retouching. They're creating people and food and who knows what else that is completely false - they're creating terrible role models, because as far as I'm concerned Jamie lee Curtis is the only person who feels it's wrong that everyone and everything is photoshopped. She is the only person to take a stand against it- and now everyone knows what really goes on. It's impossible for any celebrity to now say - "well I didn't know they were doing it," they do know, and by not doing anything about it theyre saying that it's ok, that it's fine for little girls to believe that people really look like that - to make them strive for that perfection that isn't humanly possible. Girls will go to any lengths to achieve their goals - no matter how unrealistic. We're stubborn like that , so telling them its ok to want to look like that is wrong. The media is a lie And everyone should know it. I've always known that they couldn't possibly look like that in real life, but I wAs smart. I never watched much TV or read magazines, and I believe that that is why I'm so comfortable in my own body. Learning how they do it, which I've done in the last few weeks, doesn't change anything , it just makes me angrier. The fact that often it's not even that they've changed the picture, it's that they've taken older pictures and newer ones and recreated something that never existed. It's disgusting, there's really no other way to say it. Everything we see in the media is a lie.
