A media lie
Check out this Girlpower flash presentation showing how magazine images are manipulated to make people (women) much more attractive than they actually are, sometimes impossibly so. When you look at the beginning image you might not say much, because we see images like this every single day pretty much. But as you break down all the things they did to change the images to make it more attractive to consumers, you start to realize that you are being forcefed a steady diet of horseshit. Furthermore, if you saw the unretouched girl in the street, you might think that she's a pretty 14-year old girl. But not so much compared to the non-existent bombshell that they made her out to be, who could be 19 years old. It makes it very easy to get young women to shell out all kinds of money, I suppose.
