Before I present what I've found, I must say, "Way to go Nike and Dove!"

A good percentage of the girls on Whyville read "Teen People" and "Teen Vogue," along with many other popular fashion magazines. So, I'm sure many of you may have noticed the new Nike and Dove ads.

The new Dove ads showcase "Real Women," while the Nike ads have titles to them like "Thunder Thighs" and "Big Butts."

I personally see this as a nice change, seeing as not everyone has a stick-figure, "model-esque" shape to them. Actually, if you look at the statistics, many Americans are overweight; so again, I see this as a welcome change. We were going to run out of skinny little girls sooner or later! For statistics go here: http://www.obesity.org/subs/fastfacts/obesity_youth.shtml

In the BBS, I would like to hear some different views from Whyvillians.

Thanks for reading, I'm going to go take a nap.
