The last acceptable form of discrimination in this country is against the overweight and/or unattractive. It is totally nuts. Color, sexuality, religion, age....all of these seem to have become acceptable. Only "unattractive" remains the acceptable demographic upon which we may discriminate. Wow.

The standards of beauty are outrageous, and with ads like these, its no wonder already beautiful women are puking after every meal if they are even eating at all. Or these beautiful women are getting their faces and bodies cut up to live to these standards. When are we going to wake up and realize that we all have beauty in us. The only thing that living to these "standards" can do is create a "Stepford Wife" society. Who is Bacardi to say what is beauty anyway?

Now Bacardi is backtracking, saying they never approved this campaign. Um, really? So who did, exactly? (BTW, I would TOTALLY hang out with ANY or ALL of these women. Not because they'd make me look "hotter," but because we'd have fun.) Saw this ad campaign on another blog, and wrote to Bacardi to express my disgust.
