The Biblical reference is clear;
You shall not make for yourself an idol, you shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God.
Whether we agree that God is jealous or not I think he made his point.
The last 15 years has seen a significant increase in the appearance of the perfect face, the perfect body, the perfect shape. As a society we have fallen victim to the mastery of the skill of "photo manipulating". It's obvious the effect of this behavior has transcended the the simple pages of the publications we are exposed to, but in turn influencing the fashion and dietary habits of our youth. This short clip speaks to the deception present in the media and serves to answer the question of what are we really investing our emotional energy into and are we becoming worshipers of false ideology? Is the pursuit, admiration and expectation of perfection, akin to idolizing perfection?
Hopefully this will provide fuel for your fire of disdain for the "accepted" and at least in your mind you will not fall victim to the worship of these false idols.
