I saw the same ad at the theater, with the same responses. Initially I was angry at the "children" making the Ewww noises, but I did recognize that they're young, stupid, and probably embarrassed to be looking at 15-ft-tall naked mature women (albeit tastefully covered), much less those who don't fulfill the 16-yr-old size 00 concept...
Of course my perception of beauty if is influenced by my upbringing, of which media was a huge part. I'd like to think I'm becoming more independant in my views as I (gasp!) age.
At this point I have to strive to be, and embody the change I'd like to see, to dredge up an old chestnut. But also we have to recognize that we live in a capitalistic society, sex sells, and the uncreative majority will always make a fantastic living pandering to the lowest common denominator.
