Recent L'Oreal ads in Elle, Allure, and Essence feature the always fabulous Beyonce, but the ad is garnering a lot of complaints. Why would anybody complain about Beyonce in an ad? She's a knockout, right?

Since the FDA approved the use of Botox injections in 2002, cosmetic treatments have become almost commonplace. No longer the domain of celebrities and west coasters, plastic surgery is often considered the silver bullet for a happier, more fulfilling life.
