Adios Barbie

I found this website to be a lot different from the others we have viewed. This website had some really interesting elements in it. I found the tab on games very entertaining. None of the other websites on body images have had games. The game "Feed the Model" is fun to play. I also thought the tab "Media Diet" was interesting. It had various media issues that addressed weight and body image. I was not a big fan of the store, though. I thought the shirts that said things like "Fat Camp Dropout" were a good idea in concept, but in today's society would be more humorous. I think if someone who was plus-size wore one, more people would make fun of them. It would not crush stereotypes or judging, but rather contribute to it.

  1. Yes, i agree it could be taken the wrong way. plus you don't want to endorse extreme-ness in either direction. Health is all about moderation.
