Actually, it's not "great" or "awesome", it's really sad. The way women are conditioned to believe they must achieve the impossible perfect form is a sad reality of our society.

So it's neither "great", nor "awesome" that someone is trying to bring this to societies attention?

I'd rather not be chastised for enjoying a video.

i agree with seastone. i was complimenting the message. NOT the industry for destroying real beauty and redefining it by expensive clothes, makeup, manufactured tits, anorexia, ect. we have a sick, fucked up culture... kids are ostrasized for not being little miss Britney Spears, Christina Aguilara, or Paris Hilton. We should teach children to respect their bodies and establish a strong self-esteem. But no, instead mommies buy their princesses disgusting clothes only whores wear, manipulate their diet by literally starving them, and discourage them when they make poor fashion choices. Sick, Sick world.

I apologize. I knew you guys were complimenting the message of the video. I didn't mean to insinuate that you were advocates of the beauty industry. I guess I should have included that in my response.... sorry...

Uh huh. I agree. To actually have to make a video that communicates a different standard than is usually communicated by society, and that standard actually be what the norm should be but isn't should cause us to realize there is a problem with what we, as women, are being communicated by most of the media. This video should cause us to think: Why DO we have to make such a big deal about what should be normal standards in society but so sadly, are not.
