I was watching tv with my kids last night and saw this beautiful commercial for some huge Cinderella-esque Barbie set. At the climax they say, "true love transforms all."


I was just thinking of that statement and how children might absorb it. My personal opinion is that when you truly love someone, holes and all, no transformation is expected. I just think that statement sends a bad message to little girls . I think it adds to the " fix 'em up" mentality some women have.

I know it was a commercial for a fake plastic doll designed after a fairytale but it just kind of stuck with me so I thought I would come to the people whose opinions I respect and see what if any thoughts you may have on it.
