When did 6 become the new 4?
When the media got out of hand! You open a magzine with Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richies skinny athletic bodies on the first page - surprised ? No, not really. This is a daily view over the news of today. And I can't help of asking myself; why this media obsession? We are talking about this in school everyday and after a while you'll just stop reacting. Recently I heard about this journalist who went into Buckingham Palace with b-o-m-b written on his bag, having another journalism taking a picture of him - just so he could make a good-selling-story out of it! Let me just say; unbelievable! When was the last time we heard about a new Einstein or Newton, new discoveries or a cure for the war in the middle east. Bring us good and real news please! The media is getting out of whack! We're getting used to shallow news and celebrity gossip in which we read about dwindling celebs and their friends, cocktailpartyn in Los Angeles, how to look like them, the secret behind their sizes - how to fit into one of their 500 dollar dresses and how to afford bying them. Who wore the dress best and how to get Paris Hiltons new hairstyle. The worst thing is that we want to read about it. We are dying to hear about the insanity of the size 0. Lets face it - the national obsession with famous, celebrities and skinniness has gone too far. Minuscule wasnt always so hot but today, most of the recent beauty icons - models and celebrities are supersvelt. Can you believe that we are living in a world with negative sizes; that dip below 0 to subzeros. Are there really such "ubertiny" women out there? Or has size become the latest way to evaluate self-worth? Either way, we cant build up our lifes on this media nonsense. I cant help of wonder; isnt there more important things to think and read about out there than how to loose those pounds?
