> advertisements with unattractive people practically didn't exist ten years ago. Now we are constantly bombarded with them. It's not all bad. A lot of film from the 70s had conventionally unattractive actors in leading roles. It made films more relatable. Advertising is an interesting venue to try this in though. You're supposed to sell an ideal to aspire to, not a reflection of your own mediocrity. The best advertisement I've ever seen was outside a hair salon in Japan. It was literally just a mirror on a sandwich board-- the most unflattering view of yourself possible.
