Ok, now I'm all for people being comfortable with who they are, but I feel that society, atleast in the UK, is starting to react in the wrong way to this. This occurred to me whilst watching the launch of Big Brother last night. 12 girls went into the house, 9 of a skinny-to-normal weight, 2 of a larger frame and one who was very much a raver/festival girl. The promotion videos for the skinny girls portrayed them in a very negative light, picking up on their more shallow characteristics, while the other 3 had their promo's all full of idealism, very biased. Now what this says to me is that, after the fall of Kate Moss, the British media is trying to spread the idea that people who are happy with how they look must be better people, whilst anyone who looks like they're trying too hard must be put down. Is this sort of thing happening in the States these days?
