The french Government wants truth in advertising

I think this is a great idea! I wish the American government would do something like this too! Or at least start considering it.

It reminds me of how sometimes, on a food packaging, when the food in question is blown-up to appear bigger than it is, how there is a disclaimer that "picture is not actual size" (or whatever they say), or like in a weight-loss ad how there will be an asterik after "so-and-so lost FIFTY pounds with.. [this program]"** and on the bottom, in small print, it will say "results not typical" or something to that sort.

It's especially annoying for me when I see all of these makeup advertisements in magazines, or with any product that it promises to CHANGE the way you look. To me, it doesn't matter if a girl in a Victoria Secret catalog or advertisement is photo shopped - because it's not.. their complexion or thinness that we're looking to buy. But if it's Revlon's new foundation coming out, I think it's messed up that they think they can PHOTOSHOP the celebrity that is representing their product in the ad. It defies the purpose of the product. If the product WORKED, photoshopping wouldn't be necessary. Same with anti-aging products, cellulite-fighting products, makeup, etc. Ugh.
