I think this video is an interesting way of showing how the media has an effect on girls and people in general. The girl in the video feels like she needs to build herself into the image that she sees on t.v. She does this until she can't get to the t.v and begins to break from trying. Advertising certainly has an affect on what we see as beautiful or what we find attractive. It's hard to not take an influence from something if your seeing it everyday. (this is why I don't watch t.v) I think t.v can have some serious effects on some girls and boys self esteem in a bad way. I think that at the same time though, that some improvement isn't bad, but doing it to the point where you are breaking down is. You shouldn't build your image completely off of someone else. Even though it may seem like the people on t.v are these "perfect" and gorgeous people, they probably aren't. You shouldn't let the media define beauty for you so that you'll buy their products that may not even work. This is only my opinion though.
