Italy bans controversial anorexic ads
Back in September That's Fit first mentioned the controversial Italian advertising campaign featuring a 68 pound anorexic model, and now it's making headlines again: almost all (there's only 1 left in Rome) of the images have been pulled due to claims that they don't follow Italian advertising code of conduct standards. The photographer, Oliviero Toscani, is calling the move "censorship" and says he's considering legal action for moral and economic damages.I personally don't think the ads should have been pulled, but regardless they've already made an enormous impact.

Wow. I'm glad that they did this! So many people around the world felt [and still feel i guess] badly about their bodies, and i think taking super-skinny models out might help girls of all ages feel better about themselves. Didn't someone famous recently reject a model because she was so skinny? Props to them! All girls that read this- You're beautiful the way you are.
