I'm pretty happy to see somebody actually taking a stand for this.
I wonder where they draw the line at "normal" airbrushing versus "overly" airbrushed. It just seems so confusing. The ads were banned because they couldn't/wouldn't show exactly how much airbrushing had been done and what had been altered which is a requirement for cosmetic advertisements.
Basically, everything we see on TV and in Magazines has some kind of airbrush technique. Did you know that Julia Roberts had a body double in Pretty Women? Seriously, she is GORGEOUS as is- even without makeup!
Do you think airbrushing/photoshopping should be regulated? What messages, if any, does it send? Some would argue that we already know the pictures are fake so it doesn't even make a difference.

I think that it should be regulated. All this altering sends a message to girls and women that we need to meet some standard that is completely unrealistic. And not everyone does know that so many images are airbrushed. I don't know why we can't all just strive to be happy with ourselves and embrace the uniqueness that we all have.
