heh thanks for the referral to this great website which I sent to friends. I 
do think this is part of "women's literacies"--reading 'against' advertising

>Every day the advertising, cosmetic, fashion, and tobacco industries tell 
women that they are not pretty, thin or sexy enough.
>Currently in its 5th year, NOW Foundation's Love Your Body Campaign 
enlightens women and girls on the ways advertisers and Hollywood try to 
convince them that no part of their body is lovable. The campaign empowers 
them to stand up to companies that sell low self esteem with their clothes, 
make-up and cigarettes.
