Is Outer Beauty More Important Than Inner Beauty? Olay Seems To think So

It was a day jus like any other, I was watching my daily "programs" and enjoying the chance to finally relax after a long day of stressful classes. It was during the dreaded commercial break that an even more dreaded message was relayed to me...what appeared to be a harmless Olay beauty product advertisement quickly became evidence in my case against the media and its perception of beauty. It was only about five seconds out of the thirty second commericial that caught my attention, five seconds of pure societal bias that I got out of that thirty second advertisement that played over and over in my mind like a broken record. The message "Inner beauty is important, but not nearly as important as outer beauty" sprinted through my head like a marathon runner, taunting and plaguing my brain with the thought that outer beauty is more important than inner beauty; A message infecting the minds of youth constantly and with no remorce. I have always been aware of the subliminal beauty messages in advertisements, but never have I heard such a straight forward negative perception of the definition of beauty in such a proud and humorous manner. Is this what our world has come to? Our society has no regard for the struggling individuals of bulimia and anorexia nervosa, unecessary body distortion, and the people who have died as a direct result of them. Outer beauty is more important than inner beauty. You can't be muh more blunt than that. Well here is me being blunt, You're wrong. Outer beauty is most definitely not more important than inner beauty, and who are you to define what outer and inner beauty is? Seems like a research paper with no works cited to me, a sentence without a period, a conviction without substantial evidence, I could go on and on. Inner beauty in every sense is exponentially more important and respectable than containing minature silicone-filled water beds in your breasts an the ability to apply makeup.
