I was just reading twitter and came across a tweet saying 'never buying now magazine again'. I was intrigued and dug a little deeper to find out what must have made this twitter user so angry, I was shocked to discover this:
On Christmas Eve, the popular UK magazine released their latest issue with these images on the front cover, inviting you to see celebs looking 'awful' and making the reader feel 'normal'.
There is tonnes of controversy over the influence of the media on the body image of women. Celebs are constantly critiqued for being too thin (must be drugs/anorexia/bulimia), gaining too much weight, being too photoshopped, not having enough makeup on.. it seems they cannot win.
What are your thoughts?
Do these images make you feel better about yourself?
Or just pissed off at the media?
Is this an acceptable article?
Discuss.
