Angelina, sorry to hear about your problems and the way certain "clients" spoke about you. That is a shame. I won't comment on the other issue because I'm far from a shrink or doctor, but I will say this....
You are one savvy marketer. I sure hope your grad degree is in business. The idea of posting a video ad is simply BRILLIANT. Like you said, pics can be photoshopped. Video's can't (unless you have the resources of George Lucas ).
