  4. I love most entries and also like thw winning one, but I'm wondering - doesn't anybody remember that this was the exact slogan theBodyShop used about 10 years ago? The pic showed a chubby mannequin like doll. Or did they have that poster only in Europe/Germany?
    I guess it doesn't really matter so much, that it's copied, but it should be mentioned, I think...

  5. Iris I would just like to say that the idea for this WAS NOT copied from some slogan as you have assumed. I found the quote in a book called FastSO! and loved it. I have never even heard of the BodyShop. I'm not denying that they may have used the slogan, I have no clue on that front. And as for the rest of it, they are made up of different images I found on like and compiled into a sketch that I liked.
