The Beauty of Photoshop
We put together a segment yesterday on some of the ugly little "tricks" used in the beauty & advertising industries.
(Just to set up the clip: it followed a story on a new study suggesting prenatal exposure to the chemical BPA may boost hyperactivity/aggression in toddler girls.)
***UPDATE***
We've now got a statement from Polo Ralph Lauren on that Photoshopped ad:
For over 42 years we have built a brand based on quality and integrity. After further investigation, we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman’s body. We have addressed the problem and going forward will take every precaution to ensure that the caliber of our artwork represents our brand appropriately.
President Obama: Nobel Peace Prize Winner
President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize this morning. The announcement considered stunning – even the White House admits it was surprised. The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it honored Obama for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." The Nobel committee recognized Obama's efforts at dialogue to solve complex global problems including working toward a world free of nuclear weapons. Obama's recognition comes less than a year after he became the first African-American to win the White House. He is the fourth U.S. president to win the prestigious prize and the third sitting president to do so.
We want to know what you think, what is your reaction to the President winning the Peace Prize? Leave your comments below, and Heidi will read some of them in the Newsroom, from 9a-11a ET.
