Subject: RE: BS: Reality digitally distorted
I can well imagine women, and men for that matter, being offended by looking at digitaly enhanced imqages. It is like telling them they are ugly because they don't look like the images. If calling someone ugly doesn't cause offense I don't realy know what would.

In these days of ultra sensitivety to peoples feelings how is it OK to suggest they do not look good unless they appear as plastic as the image in question? Whereas I agree that some people are definitely oversensitive to these things there do seem to be an equal number who believe that no harm can come from, say, an internet forum! Neither extreme are right.
