Yes, Marketing
In May 1999, there was some forensics news out of St. Francis Middle School in Michigan. No, not crime solving - this speaking kind of stuff:
St. Francis middle school students, coached by Brandon Kelly, won several awards at the Michigan Inter scholas tic Forensic Asso ciation State Tournament April 24: Mark Spencer, 2nd place for extemporaneous; David Faling, a plaque for prose interpretation; Stacy Nadeau, a blue ribbon in prose interpretation; Christina Boothman and Chris Nadeau, Molly Oberdoerster and Amelia Eaton, plaque winners for duo; Eileen Carroll and Cathleen Carroll, blue-ribbon winners for duo.
In February 2002, the South & West Washtenaw Consortium at Saline High School in Saline, Michigan held a Family Career Day entitled "Trek to the Future." If you go to this page, you can see pictures of a number of well-scrubbed marketing students, including Mike Langford, Stacy Nadeau, Mike Andryc, Jessica Schoenecker, and Katie Gotelaere.

Several years later, Stacy Nadeau was still engaged in marketing, as part of Dove's "Campaign for Real Beauty."
Incidentally, The Infamous Brad has written about negative reactions to the Campaign for Real Beauty. Excerpts:
The controversy here is that journalists have had only a little trouble scraping out from underneath various slime-covered rocks various people, both "experts" and supposedly randomly chosen public, who are offended by seeing these women in their underwear. No, not because of the tighty-whitey underwear, but because they claim to be grossed out by being made to see women "that fat" in their underwear....
Let me make my own feelings clear on this subject. At least one of those women is actually too thin for me to find her automatically sexually (let alone romantically) attractive. The sexiest women on the planet, to me, are the women who look a lot like the other 5....
If these ads are controversial for any reason, it ought to be this one: that's not what real women look like, either. The web site very carefully doesn't give the models' heights, weights, measurements, body mass indices, or dress sizes. However, when Stacy Nadeau...was being interviewed on Countdown with Keith Olbermann the other night, it was mentioned that she's a size 10. The average American woman, like Marilyn Monroe at the height of her career, is a size 12. If these six women are at (or worse, above) your upper limit for attractive women, and if we assume a bell curve for the statistical distribution of body shape, then you just ruled out somewhere around 2/3 of the women in your species. And if so, I'm very sad for you....
