Deep Beauty Is Skin Only

Why do we believe that if something is beautiful it must be the truth, when actually it's rather that if something is true, it is beautiful - regardless of it's apparent 'ugliness'?



I think this video should be seen as widely as possible. The fact this is essentially a dove advert is neither here nor there, since, when adverts start saying things like this, the product can be sold in its true perspective.

Various feminist groups have suggested we all deface adverts that featured manipulated body images (or adverts for plastic surgery etc). I wonder how long the practice would last if we all scrawled "this person doesn't look like this" or some such thing on them all.

'COMPUTER GENERATED IMAGE' written in ink stamp looking lettering right across each image should do the trick.

Time to get the spray paints back out.
