Slimming Adverts

ARE TERRIBLE.
I'm not just talking about the rubbish and de-grading shit they put on newspapers where overweight women are likely forced to look sad in the 'before' picture and then suddenly super happy in the 'after' picture.

I thought Colgate was bad enough with their utter nonsense of scanning people's teeth outside crowded schools to random passer-bys and saying every other brand causes plaque. But it was borderline amusing anyway.

But no. London Slimming has to come up with the most terrible, pissing advert of all.
Can't find a youtube video but its airing on TV if you want to see it.
Advert is apparently a 'true story' of some woman whom, after giving birth, becomes a little overweight and then starts talking about her husband joking about her figure and she was 'honestly hurt'. Attaching negative connotations to child-bearing and already degrading women into emotional, superficial people who are hopelessly obsessed with their weight so they clearly have to dedicate their lives to their savior London Slimming who died for their fats.Why the fuck did you hide your feelings from the father of your child in the first place?? Is this how you're going to bring up your kid??
So London Slimming changes her life forever cause her friends asked her to go and she lost xxKG.
I haven't even started on something called EXERCISE, BITCH. How can your husband love you for who you are if you can't do it for yourself? I'm being very mean but honestly in this case, the natural way, to work your muscles and watch your nutrition, is the best. You don't need a body-builder figure. You need FITNESS. And we're better than the poachers who feed on our insecurities.

Suddenly Singaporeans are too busy to exercise?? I find that very dangerous thinking. For one thing, although its not easy, you shouldn't be tank-ing a job that forces you to work so long you don't even have time to do sit-ups.

I might get lambasted for apparently taking an irrational, emotional stand on this. Yes sure slimming centers are there to 'help people' with their self-confidence. AND PERMISS THEIR LAZINESS.

I need to continue working on my presentation, so no time to really work out my thoughts on this. (Finding it ironic that I just talked about having no time to exercise? Well frankly exercise is way more important than coherent blogging.)

Indescribably awesome. 50% of the reason why I bought Wasting Light. (40% to Walk, Arlandria, 10% to FF in general)
