*anorexia

And a pretty good song, too.

You can bet the cute little kid was made up, lit and photographed by professionals and even then got retouched in the production stage.

I agree that you never hear about sterotypes of male beauty despite every ad on tv either features the hunk or the wimpy loser to laugh at. Studies continually highlight the rise in male anorexia and image disorders, year after year, because business smells money to be made in male cosmetics. Advertisers will do or say anything to sell the product and keep their contract.

So it's not just my mum! She's constantly trying to feed me all kinds of stuff, despite me not exactly suffering from anorexia, and telling me that I need a jumper. Children grow into adults. Parents stay as parents. Of course, this is fine for fathers as they just want a kid to drink beer with and chat about football, but mums never stop mothering. I don't know what it's like for daughters, probably worse as their fathers constantly try to protect them.

I'm with krupo, 2 for anorexia

anorexia +1

I want to chant that this belogns in the viral channel... and I don't see why not, actually.

Man! Where is part 2!? The suspense is fucking killing me! I'm going with anorexia.

cobalt: she may be 'average', but only because 'average' nowadays means overweight - the average BMI for American females is 28 ('normal' is 18.5-25).

Obesity is now a bigger problem than subnutrition, _despite_ all the anorexic models around.

Sure, anorexia is unhealthy and ugly, but so is obesity, and the latter is far more common...

I would like to know if the narrators message is in any context with the obvious anorexia message, but as I don't speak mumbojumbo, I guess I just have to deal with not knowing.

Hah, I have to show this to a friend of mine who is very very anti anorexia, it will no doubt infuriate her. Although it provided me with a hearty laugh.
