Including non-model shaped women wouldn't necessarily mean including obese women. The fashion industry seems to have a problem understanding the difference between "thin" "normal" and "obese". Very thin women are "normal" models, while average healthy women are "plus sized", and obese women are used whenever somebody is trying to show that they accept women of all sizes. I don't get it.
But yeah, the three women in this add look like they come in a range of sizes: 2, 4, and 6.
I agree with anonymous. PETA is making themselves look ridiculous, which takes away credibility from anyone else who wants to protect animals' interests. It also is disrespectful to people who went through real battles to end slavery.
That being said, I do agree that whales don't belong in captivity. They are large creatures that are known to travel hundreds (even thousands) of miles in a year. They are also intelligent animals that most likely know that they are in captivity. While there are cases of injured whales being rescued, and not being healthy enough to be rehabilitated to ocean life, the majority of these animals belong in their natural habitat.
My boyfriend of almost four years and I live together. We want to get married, but I need to finish school first. At the moment I receive free tuition because my father is employed by my school. If I got married I would end up having to shell out $40,000 a year. Plus the price of a wedding is just insane. Usually we don't face much discrimination, although we were passed over for an apartment, I suspect because of our unmarried status (the property manager was very conservative and religious). We're as committed as any married couple, but marriage just isn't an option at the moment. Some would say we shouldn't live together, but I don't much fancy the idea of living with some random girl I meet through a newspaper ad. Has anyone else ever seen Single White Female?
@Gellener: I never learned to do my taxes either. Every year my mom files all of our taxes, and every year I ask her to tell me when she's going to do them so I can do it with her, and every year she forgets. I don't know what I'm going to do when I graduate and I'm not her dependent anymore.
I was also floored by how expensive groceries can get. And how difficult it is to go into a store and buy only what you need for the week, no more and no less. And how truly impossible it is to live on minimum wage.
I doubt they go "missing". I imagine they have a count of how many needles are handed out so they can make sure they get all of them back.
I can totally see how this would help. I find that sort of craft to be very relaxing, a great outlet for negative energy. Kudos to this woman for doing something to help rehabilitate prisoners, instead of just punishing them and making them unfit for normal society.
Its definitely the legs. I'm guessing they weren't crossed before but someone decided they should be. Or they felt the top leg wasn't skinny enough and shopped in a different one. My question is, why were they photoshopping her at all? She's the minister of defense, not a supermodel.
Miss Cellania...the article does say that you wrote it...
