Yup. The advertisers and sellers will do whatever it takes to earn every penny they can. Even when they seemingly do good things, like give to charities, they'll spend even more just to tell you about it, in hopes of gaining sales.

Women's magazines will have articles on healthier lifestyles on one page, with a thin model showing off the latest lipstick color on the next.

Fast-food commercials show thin people buying the latest worst-for-you food they're selling. Look at KFC's mashed potatoes, corn, chicken, covered in a three-cheese blend and gravy, all in one dish! And I think it's Burger King that has the cheesesteak on a burger sandwich, at around 970 calories. And Dairy Queen has Blizzards or whatever with cheesecake in it. Since when did cheesecake become an ingredient??? (And while I haven't had that, I admit, I love vanilla ice cream with brownies in it.)

Even the healthy salads at fast-food restaurants are loaded with calories and (with the dressing) fat!

Commercials showing men eating burgers, feeling MANLY! People taking medications with all kinds of side effects living normal lives (while if you take them, you won't have joint pain, but you won't have a normal life, either, because you're on the toilet with the diarrhea the drug causes all the time!). And if one drug causes you problems--like a low sex drive--take another drug--like Viagra--to fix it! And when that drug causes more symptoms, add on another drug or two!

Cellulite and wrinkle creams that don't really work, or don't work that well, but cost over a hundred dollars. Products that everyone flocks to use, but later are found to cause cancer, skin blemishes, headaches, or other problems. Products where they don't disclose problems they know or find out about. Over-hyping products.

Makeup that looks gorgeous--on the models, who are already gorgeous. And it amazes me how many men, and probably women, too, don't know models in men's magazines (and others) are airbrushed, and aren't that perfect in real life. Worse--boys and girls who think that's what they really look like, and what girls should look like.

Alcoholic drinks that make you popular and get you "hot chicks."

Sorry...sometimes, once I get going, I can't stop. But it's good to vent.
