For example on skin and hair commercials. And women in leading roles all seem to have that long face long nose cheek bones look and as skinny as hell! Why is this? Men and women do you find this attractive?

Media stereotypes are indirectly responsible for a large percentage of teenagers who are anorexic. The wannabe models emulate their TV role models by purposely make themselves ill for the sake of vanity. Glossy 'girlie' Mag's are just as full of the anorexic 'beautys' because they think that's what the public want to see. Well not this member of the public doesn't. It's about time these people who perpetuate this false image of beauty, were held accountable for their actions.
Finally Kate Moss should never of been seen in the media ever again over her cocaine scandal. Unfortunately she's probably more famous now than before. What a SAD World we live in.

Well, you're right, and you're wrong.
The men don't have to be anorexic...just the women.
For example, refer to any TV ads that feature mis-matched couples; you know, the ones where the woman is an emaciated model and the husband looks like John Belushi.
I'm sick of it, and wish they'd stop.

the same way they only have fat people on talk shows.....its just a matter of what sells. how many "fat" people are really that confident in themselves? not too many...Society is not gonna talk about that skinny girl on that commercial, they'll talk about that fat chick that was on Oprah who got the gastric bypass surgery...its the truth!!

i sure don't, whatever happened with women with waists on tv? now they're like a rod or something, no curves whatsoever. i think a woman like drew barrymore is the sexiest type of body, that's just me though.

Because if we had fat people like me they couldn't fit many on the screen. anyway it isn't PC to say anorexic anymore they're gastronomically challenged !

Television puts ten pound on you when it flattens your image out.

Well that's not true.
