Its called marketing, They will use cartoon characters to sell cigarettes, why not convince a buying public that thin is in and buy these cloths. It doesn't have to be true, they can say what they want and once they find a fear, they use it. People fear not fitting in, some more than others, self image and "sexiness" is a factor in all of our lives. If you believe everything you see on the TV you are going to buy the products for the reason they say to buy them. It is in the stations best interest that you buy the product, that is how they get paid, by the effectiveness of their market. Now watch TV, see all the commercials using fear and your image to sell you their stuff. Have you seen the newest "home invasion deterrent systems"? We called them alarm systems in the day, Every one of them show a helpless woman and a child, or a woman jogger, or a woman who cant get rid of a guy after a date. I take great offence to how helpless the media betrays women in real life situations but in the movies they have guns and take care of themselves. you may need an alarm where you live, you don't need the "based on an actual event" soap opera fear fest to know you need it. The only reason they have to run that type of commercial is to convince people who feel safe that this could happen to them. that is the message directed at every woman watching, The "Be afraid" or be a victim.... don't buy the hype, none of it,
