Camera's Slimming Effects
"With the slimming feature anyone can appear more slender instantly," claims the ad for these new HP digital cameras.
Is it me or is this over the top? First of all let me just say that my personal experience has taught me that while TV adds 10 pounds, cameras often don't. And while reading their new ad, a few questions crossed my mind...
Why are we so obsessed with appearances that someone dreamed up and developed this special feature?... That some of us actually want a special feature on our cameras that helps us appear slimmer than we really are? And why is "slimmer" considered better? Will the next ads boast "lose 10 pounds in 10 seconds?"
The only positive thing I can think to say about this new invention is that taking a picture with the slimming feature of this camera is certainly safer than other "lose 10 pounds" alternatives like surgery, fad dieting or pharmaceuticals.
