Skinny

A lot of things are happening in the fashion industry these days. It seems a rebellion is in the making, a rebellion against the picture of the perfect model, the perfect woman.
The german women's magazine, Brigitte, now only wants to use normal women in their editorials and articles. Also Ralph Lauren is being critisised for photoshopping an already very slim model even slimmer.


Generally I appreciate that attention is being drawn to the unrealistic expectations to women set by the fashion industry. Nobody can look like Jennifer Aniston on a magazine cover, not even Jennifer Aniston herself.
On the other hand modelling is a job and a model can offer more than a normal girl, simply because it's her job and what's she's good at. But models can be good models even if they are not 175 cm tall and weighs 50 kg. If I understand everything correctly being pretty as a model is not enough, you also need charisma and a whole lot of talent. So theoretically any girl with the right personal qualities should be able to do the job.
Let's hope all of this fuss can help give a more diverse picture of women.

Journalism?

Today my (free!) newpaper came through the letter box as usual. And as usual I sit down with my breakfast and the newspaper and look forward to skimming through the news of today.
But today there were no news. In stead I found myself confronted with a two-faced newspaper, imagining what the paper would look lige 50 years from now. The one end fantasising about the consequences if we do not reduce the emission of CO2 and the other imagining a world where we have done nothing.
Since I'm what they call "climate-denier" I find this somewhat offensive. I wasn't able to read these actually quite well-written articles because they lack any self-criticism what so ever!
This brings me to my biggest problem. I want to write something about this theme but I can't find articles that are critical towards human induced climate change.
Can anyone help me???

Good ideas??

I love my radios, i really, really love my radios. They are spread all through my appartment and turned on all the time. And they are all tuned in on the same station: 92,6, P3.
This great, public youth-radiostation has almost monopolized the FM-area, and almost every person under 30 listens to P3.
But at this moment a new media-settlement is being discussed. In their eagerness to promote commercial radiostations, which have all been going bankrupt, one of the suggestions is to commercialize P3!!
I can only say that I'm horrified. The reason everybody listens to P3 is that it is actualy good. As a atter of fact this radiostation is the only success the public media cooperation DR can present. So why fix what wasn't broken in the first place?
The fear is that since DR is funded by the state, and hence taxpayed, it is favored compared to commercial news services since every service from DR is free. So no advertisement in the middle of a movie, free online news and so on.
I do see the problem but riuning the only well-functioning part of this enterprise serves no one. Least of all the listeners who by the way are also taxpayers.
