.........those who prefer the adverts to the programmes. The progs
are nowadays dumbed down to such an extent that the adverts are now
more intellectually stimulating.
So, I for one, am now raising my hand.

I'm wondering how Loreal get away with air-brushing models in their ads
for skin/face products.

I can understand it if their selling smells, or shampoo, but otherwise
it's at best mis-leading, and at worst blatant deception.

It's absurd that they take supposedly "beautiful" women, and remove all
their features.

Of course, I may be off the mark, and their products really do make
women look like androids.

They're not consistent either. Doetzen Kroes gets some strange
English accent whereas someone in Youtube has remarked on her cute
Flemish(/?) accent in broadcasts.

Slowly they are realising that 'women of colour' actually are and
toning down the brightness on them.

Not just the ads. The infatilisation of society. It ends up with
Jeremy Kyle parenting the nation.
