Anyone buying a fashion mag is buying into an illusion, they know that, thats why they buy the mag. It's fiction. That was the parallel I was drawing with film. No idea what you're on about with the beeb.

I wasn't arguing, I was just saying its similar to the whole "scandal" they had where the papers hounded them constantly for not being absolutely truthful about everything - eg. fake competition winner on blue peter. And it resulted in the kneejerk banning of all competitions. I'm just saying its the same problem - people pretending to be shocked by something they know perfectly well is reliant on illusion and tricks.

Fair enough, however I think people have a fair right to believe what they're watching on the bbc(factual progs anyway) is real.. I don't think the same could be said for the likes of Vogue.

i do think photoshopping for beauty advertising etc where it could be taken for false advertising should be made to state so at the bottom.
