GI JOE and Male Body image...

I recently watched a great steroids documentary called "Bigger, Stronger, Faster".

You can watch it on YouTube, starting HERE with Part 1.

Below is an excerpt from the documentary where a psychiatrist demonstrates how the slender and fit-looking original GI JOE dolls from the 60's, when they came out, compare to the 1970's and current 1990's much more muscular versions.

It is interesting to also note that in the 1960's and previous years, most fitness advertisements aimed at men who were tired of being skinny. Nowadays, most of the ads seem to be for men who are tired of being overweight!
