I agree, Teri, this manufactured body-image distortion is massive and almost
subintentional to distract bright, intelligent, ambitious people from applying
their energies towards their desires and instead applying it towards
appearances. It's ugly and must be assaulted. If enough people realized how
ugly it was, it wouldn't need laws to stop it. People would simply rip up such
images as they stood in front of them, paintball billboards. If this happened
on a massive scale, they'd stop making the things. But we have a very passive
public at present, for whom direct action is a foreign idea. That's a shame ;
for then we have to pass through the mediation of democratic channels which is
an obstacle placed in the way of direct action by the corporations.
