Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 For those who use Yahoo and are subjected to their ads, have you noticed that the facial mole on Enrique's face has been airbrushed out? Bad choice, I think, for a company directing their ads to rosaceans, to air brush out skin features that are strongly identified as positive examples of imperfect but favorable features. Is Cindy Crawford's mole next? <g> Marjorie Marjorie Lazoff, MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 I use the yahoo-groups website to read the messages too. I have a suggestion for going through the add when yahoo subjects you to a whole page ad and no message when you're flipping through the messages. I simply click the Continue To Message link a few times as soon as I realize that this screen is not a message. The ad doesn't load and I go directly to the message. I hope yahoo doesn't catch wind of this idea and programs the page to stay put as the ad is loading. Also, I wanted to add my two cents about candid pictures of celebrities in the media. I used to think that these weren't airbrushed or photoshopped since they weren't posed pictures. Nothing could be further from the truth. The day after last year's Emmy Awards (for those not in the US these are awards for performance in television), a photographer posted her pictures for those of us who love to see the clothing of the stars but don't want to sit through the televised ceremony. Anyway, all of the women had such heavy makeup on. It looked like they were wearing spackle. I especially noticed that on Locklear who seemed to have heavy beige foundation and almost white concealor under her eyes. The makeup stopped at the neck (you could see the streaks of her makeup and her real skin color poking through) and her body was really tanned and looked quite a few shades darker than her face. I don't know if she has bad skin or not, but I happened to catch the airbrushed pictures of her a few days later and she looked like she had perfect, foundation-free skin.

Just as an aside, I have been using the Opera browser for a few years now and find it is much faster than IE. One great feature is that you can turn images off from a keyboard shortcut. So I load the first page at Yahoo!, then hit <g> (actually g twice but don't worry about that for now) and from then, no more images will load. You are then left with all the navigation bits there and you don't get to see any ads. Note that Opera is not free, but the small cost is worth it to keep it being developed as a wonderful alternative to IE and Netscape. You can download it for free, but if you want to disable the ad window you need to pay for it (same as for Eudora). All those with older computers will find Opera great as it isn't bloated like the alternatives. -see http://www.opera.com I'll be quiet now, Opera is one of my passions ! cheers, davidp. -- Pascoe, mailto:dp@..., Western Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
