Makes a valid point...
....and pretty much says it all really. I think a doll like that says a lot about society today. Horrid, really horrid.
let me help you guys out...
nobody says this is acceptable. it's the little voice in the crazy chicks heads that tell them they are NEVER skinny enough. society likes healthy, it's genetics that tells our brains what we like and we want to reproduce with healthy people. healthy has a look and statistics say we prefer low body fat women.
man are wired to like non-fat women and some women are wired to be crazy no matter how skinny they are.
let me help YOU out...
you're an idiot.
I understand what the last
I understand what the last commenter is saying, but you're a bit far off the truth! What makes a man find a woman attractive is not "genetics", it's how society has brought you up to view attractiveness. If anything, "genetics" in its simplest terms would make you view attractiveness as much fatter, because bigger women can normally carry a child a lot more successfully, and in history there was less risk of death at childbirth.
Anyway, just stumbled on this, the ad makes a point - bit gruesome, but it makes a point.
Seriously though
I think the point is contradicted by the fact that if you removed all the text from this image, and put the doll as-is somewhere more enjoyable-looking than in a coffin, everyone would still agree that the doll itself is waifish and hideous.
I know this is a jab at Barbie and knock offs, and an agreement with the "unrealistic proportions of a Barbie doll", but Barbie is a caricature to begin with. Caricaturized proportions are unrealistic by definition. No one I know of has attacked Charles Shultz peanut characters for making kids believe they need heads 4x larger than their bodies.
she has a pretty face tho...
she has a pretty face tho... id hit it.
re: I'd hit that
Lol, your sick man.
The girl is slightly annorexic looking which is why I agree that this type of portrait doesn't sit well with my daughter. I wouldn't dare get a doll like that for my children. No explanation needed except for pointing out the name of the doll and the appearance.

My daughter
I am fearful for when my daughter gets older, hopefully I can keep her away from this stereotyped image for as long as possible.
