Boys wearing pants on top of tights is unhealthy now is it?
And where does that definition say anything about how they actually look? Seriously, think about it.
The advert was questioning whether people measured up against a "beach body" of stunning beauty. This is playing on, and emphasising, a person's negative body image. That's what the whole complaint is about.
Personally, superficially I like the advert because I like looking at beautiful women. But I can't defend its message.
I don't accept fat people or black people. But i accept fat black people because 2 negatives make a positive.
That was a joke. But its how i read every single "hate" thread. I dunno why these are allowed while others are frowned upon ?
Cant 'you' just get on with your own life.

Its not. Its no where near the norm. It never will be. Thats not the issue is it or have we moved on.
What, by showing that working hard and eating right (including the addition of other nutrition in the diet) pays off? Ok then... [insert Kermit with tea pic here].
In what way is that advert misleading?
Its her JOB she spends her entire working day/Life to look like that.
Dont you think it might be a LITTLE BIT easier for "her" A professional model, to achieve those results?? Have you even thought this through ?
[insert Kermit with tea pic here].
Lets get another random woman and tell her to work a 40h week and do 40h+ training see how that works out.
yeah maybe 1 in 1000 people can do that.... Good luck to you if it is you.
like most supplements it implies a quick fix to the "problem" of not being a model sportswoman.
its the same as Make up adverts et al. The pursuit of perfection through pills.

i think the % of people obese int he country is nearly 50% now so actually yeah it is the norm.
i know girls who have bodies like that they don't do anything close to 40+ hours training.
heck most dont do any training, they just dont eat like pigs.
i left it must have gone down a bit !
60% in children though so we're reachign the point of sevre damage being done to people before they can even make a chocie about thier eating.
My gym is filled with women that look good and very toned, its really not THAT much effort, 80% of it is having a good diet, none of that involves going to the gym. Also the ad doesn't say to look like her, but to look your best.
working nights means i some times go to the gym classes in the morning, holy crap the mums who've just dropped the kids off at school are smoking hot in there lol.
