After a good discussion with another student regarding the role of media in education and the distortion of  reality through stereotypes (1), Johanna comes at the right moment with this fantastic video. You will see in this video how a newscaster for Diet.com who spends her life training towards the perfect body still requires some Photoshop touch-up to be magazine-worthy. Never forget that when you are looking at a magazine “99.99% of all celebrity photos are photoshopped.” An artificial reality is not what you want to based your real-life standards upon. Instead of focusing too much on an ephemeral (2) physical appearance, it is much more important to build a warm, positive, open-minded character, attractive to many more people than a clear skin!

This is a second spot Johanna added to the list which will remind you that fast-food is not happy food.

(1) Stereotype: A general mental image of a group or class of people that is usually oversimplified. An advertiser may feature a stereotypical user of his product in order to encourage the audience to identify with the user. For example, housewives are often used in advertisements for cleaning products.

(2) Ephemeral: Lasting for a markedly brief time. Living or lasting only for a day, as certain plants or insects do.
