Default Too fat or attention-seeking?

Have any of you ever noticed that it seems like a lot of our world tends to revolve around looks and/or how much they weigh? If so, you should read this:

I personally think that everything in our world that people see, is revolving too much around looks. Example: Next time a commercial is on, take a look and see what the people in the commercial look like. If it's a commercial that is supposed to be funny, well, that's a different story. However, say it's a commercial for a new drink. I've noticed that the people in the commercial tend to be what most people consider "hot" or some other form of good-looking. Yes, they make the soda sell better, but why is that? This comes back to my original statement. Everything revolves too much around looks. People would rather buy something that has been advertised by a better looking person then, say, an average looking person.

It's the same thing with clothing and what-not. You've seen ads in magazines for clothing and accessories. What do the people who are modeling the clothing normally look like? Once again, good-looking, usually pretty slim people. I would like to hear all of your opinions on this.
