(msnbc) Diet Pepsi has introduced a new "skinny" can for Fashion Week, but some critics are giving it a big, fat "no."
The can is a "taller, sassier" version of the traditional can that the company says was made in "celebration of beautiful, confident women." Some say Pepsi's approach only reinforces dangerous stereotypes about women and body image.
Here we go again. It seems that everything these days isn't supposed to inspire women to be skinny and that "women should be happy with the bodies they have". Unfortunately the last time I checked America is pretty fat and could definitely use a little slimming down. So the Pepsi can sending messages about body image is a great idea in my book. Also I love Pepsi's line about their skinny can celebrating "beautiful, confident women", which is obviously a slap in face to fat chicks. Why have a short chubby can when you can have a tall skinny can that is beautiful and confident? Beats me...
