Let me get this straight. by random (4.00 / 1) #8 Wed Jan 19, 2005 at 08:09:35 AM EST

They cut their hair and made them wear clothes which were not their own? And your two "friends" let them?

What's wrong with reality these days?

It was either that or walk out, and seeing as I'd said I'd do it to help work out (and for a laugh) I thought we should stay.

As I said, it could've been worse. You should've seen some of the outfits they had...

Why do they do this? by random (4.00 / 2) #10 Wed Jan 19, 2005 at 08:30:28 AM EST

I mean, take it a tiny bit further and you can just make up the stories and get a picture of some models from the image library.

Where do you draw the line?

Hehe by spiralx (2.00 / 0) #11 Wed Jan 19, 2005 at 08:39:27 AM EST

I guess because we didn't fit in with the "Glamour"ous (heh) image they wanted to portray. Which in reality seems to consist of making people look like carbon copies of Next adverts.

I managed to wear my own trousers rather than the nasty tight jeans they tried to get me to wear - the one time I've been glad of my fat arse lol ;)

And you work for these people? by random (4.00 / 1) #12 Wed Jan 19, 2005 at 09:06:37 AM EST

And have a clean conscience?

Advertisers and conformist magazines like this create a lot of fucked up people. Just to make a wodge of cash for people who already have enough cash.

I work for a company doing financial information. But who also are part of the same group of companies that includes a dating website that wanted publicity in the magazine and asked for people for their article in exchange. So we were asked if we knew anyone like that who'd be willing to it...

You're still propping up the evil capitalist overlords though.

I do that just by working where I am; the article is an extra on top of that ;)
