Photoshopping is used in ads and on magazine covers to make models more "beautiful," which often means "skinnier." The American Medical Association says the practice needs to get reined in. "Exposure to media-propagated images of unrealistic body images" has been linked to "eating disorders and other child and adolescent health problems," the group said in a press release. The group wants advertisers to adopt policies that would curtail altering photographs that lead to "models with body types only attainable with the help of photo editing software."

This is what I'll never understand. As a guy, I look at this like it's almost a caricature. It's not attractive on any level to 99.9% of of men. But...when a woman looks at this, apparently some crazy thoughts start running through some of their heads. Somethings, us men will never understand.
