_Ms._ Magazine Advertisements__________________________________________________

	All this talk about advertisements brings to mind one of my pet peeves:

		>>> What are certain ads doing in _Ms._? <<<

	You know the type.  "Oil of Olay will make you beautiful."  "Product X
will make you younger-looking."  "Product Y will help you lose unsightly fat."

	I did a survey of three random issues of _Ms._ (the ones I could find
laying around the house).  Not counting classified ads, 28% of the advertising
space was for products to "improve" the way a woman looks.
	In _Ms._?
