I believe that the largest model they used was a size 12. That is hardly "heavyset," that is NORMAL!!!! Do you have any idea what young ladies trying to beat eating disorders think when they read that? I do because the school I teach at has a fashion major and there are many in such a situation! And many of those girls are inspired by the Dove campaign. It did some good whatever its true motive. I also like the older women and beauty campaign. Rock on Dove!!!
We all need to pray and find oil in the USA,
so we dont have to depend on the other countries.
Now gas is 4 bucks a gallon...wow
what happend to the 80's when gas was 75 cents?
<blockquote>Do the majority of people here in the USA necessarily care? Who knows.</i>
Your fellow flack "openminded" claims to know. S/he stated with godlike omniscience and no reference: "In fact 74% of Americans prefer their advertisements through the mail than any other medium."
Junk mail with cents-off coupons for junk food? No, thank you. Is that fancy hotel offering the "free" stay near anyplace I'd want to go? How much would it cost me to get there?
Taxes to run a government no-junkmail registry? I can think of far worse ways a lot more of my tax dollars are being spent right now.
Anne, if you received a 30% off coupon for your favorite restaurant or a letter offering a free stay at a fancy new hotel, would you throw that stuff away? Some solicitors are a bit behind the times, admittedly, but there are many mailers that understand the financial crisis the USA faces. Those companies are indeed cutting back on mail campaigns and are learning to actually offer something to their "target" audiences, whose pockets may be a bit more... well... roomy these days.
The DMA UK's "Participation Media 2007" report (sponsored by Experian)revealed in their study that "responses to direct mail were almost twice as positive in reality than first perceived." 1,700 people in the UK were interviewed for this study. Okay, so that's the UK. Still, do you think you may be leaning a bit too heavily on your own perceptions of direct mail? Do the majority of people here in the USA necessarily care? Who knows. We just think there are potentially better things to legislate. A government-sponsored "Do Not Mail" list = taxes.
Lastly, the DMA's Mail Preference Service (www.dmachoice.org/MPS/) shows up as #3 in a google search for "do not mail." Seems pretty easy to find actually.
