You might as well ask why the cast of TV shows is populated by women who are all tiny (should you actually get to meet one, the first thought that runs through your mind is just how small she is. Well, maybe the second thought - the first is probably that she's even cuter in real life, without all the TV or movie makeup). My favourite ridiculous example, at present, is a TV commercial for York Peppermint Patties, featuring a model who looks as though she wouldn't be able to eat more than a single bite, and who would then go and stick her fingers down her throat lest she put on an ounce of fat (which is probably more than on her entire body). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
