Do advertisers have the *RIGHT* to create brand representatives that they feel truly enhance the brand?

Should they just use skinny, blond, blue eyed girls? Do you feel like they discriminate by gender, race, ethnicity, weight etc.

Im really wondering about other people opinions about it.

    Yes, they do because we live in a free society. They definitely discriminate but hey, there's a reason why they pick the skinny, blond or brunette girl and not a 200 pound female Muslim with hair on her arms and legs. All of this has been studied and it's proven that people in general are more attracted by the "perfect" model and not by someone who looks like a gorilla. We live in a cruel world, but that's just the way it is. Luckily even the 200 pound female Muslim will find a partner.
