Be Yourself Movement

Have you heard of the Be Yourself Movement?

It was started by a group in Italy and is building momentum across Europe and now in the States. An English version of their site and materials was made available on April 30th.


The group goes around trying to promote individualism and to encourage real people with real imperfections to replace the false images of ad campaigns.... They do this by covering up billboard images with... alterations.
