Body Evolution - Model Before and After


Advertising industry 'Touches Up' Images of People 
(Source: 6 Examples of Media Manipulation from Activistpost.com)

The practice of digitally 'touching up' actors and models in images and videos is an overt industry standard. Yet most people, whether they're aware of image manipulation or not, still process television and print images on the sub-conscious level as if they were, primarily because everyone is doing it, and our bias for 'normal' has been socially reconstructed to adopt advertising lies as normal.
This process is demonstrated in the video above where an ordinary looking woman is tranformed into a lusty beauty queen for the purposes of selling more products to consumers.
