The Unfortunate Swimsuit Model

With great power comes great responsibility. Photoshop. It seems that its a rare occasion where photos aren't photoshopped. 

In a recent ad, Target had made the mistake of photoshopping the genital area of a young female in a swimsuit ad. 


Perhaps the outcry would not have been as bad if photoshop hadn't cropped the crotch area of their teenage model -- demonstrating an unrealistic body on impressionable young girls. 

As a Public Relations student, this is a disaster. I believe that an effective way to combat this would be to launch a campaign that promoted positive body image and adds where the models body is not altered.
