Black Eye CoverGirl

The National Football League (NFL) in America is getting it in the neck from activists protesting at its cavalier attitude to footballers battering women. It began with a video of American football star Ray Rice dragging his unconscious fiancée out of a lift. Boys will be boys: two-match suspension. Next came a video of Rice throwing the punch that knocked the woman - now his wife - unconscious. Then journalist and activist Adele Stan took up the cudgels and altered an advertisement for cosmetics company CoverGirl to make it seem the model had a black eye. With a PhotoShop enhancement the protest went viral. NFL sponsors are now sweating (CLICK).
