Representations: Women in the Media

We have been doing a lot of work about the topic of representations recently of all kinds of people but seeing as we will be doing more work in future around magazines and advertising i thought i would include this here... its a shocking image of a Ralph Lauren advert. The advert was an example of attempts to 'slim down' the model using photoshop although it looks totally out of proportion.. it does however highlight how crazy the people who make these ads are and how much pressure they put on girls / women to be far too thin.. i have put a picture of the actual model below so you can compare... Crazy huh ?????


Do you think representations of women or men for that matter will ever be fair in the media ????

Think: Cyber Bullying does it really happen ?

Right then i know i was telling you about how to secure your blog against comments and stuff and you probably know a lot about how to be safe online but i thought i would share these actually really creepy ads from America about how to be safe online... what do you think ??? are they a little much and do they sort of miss the point that people can still be bullied whether they are online or not... still.... be careful though... obviously never give out any real information about yourself to people you don't know or sources you don't trust.
