There are a lot of things about advertisements that tick me off . Here are just a few of my worst peeves. Commercial that advertises weight loss pills, age defying lotions/creams/powders/sprays. Let break it down shall we?
Hello??? Popping pills will NEVER completely solve anyone’s weight issues. That’s the truth. Every paid close attention to the before and after pictures in these ads? Two major flaws – 1. The ‘after’ picture always shows 6 pack abs. If these pills DID (miraculously) work then the person who lost weight will have flabby skin. They’ll be lucky if they looked toned let alone flaunt 6 pack abs; 2. Notice the face: it’s always the same chubby face in both pictures, only the body has changed. Gosh! How did that happen? Welcome to the world of Photoshop.
If there really was a way to decelerate ageing, trust me, nature would have evolved a gene for it millions of years ago! Wrinkles, large pores, sagging skin, age related skin pigmentation – there is no permanent solution to any of these ‘problems’.
The only message that these advertisements convey is their definition of beauty – a slim body, flawless fair skin. Well who made them the beauty police?
I like to be not poked by bones when I hug my friends; I love the little wrinkles by my mother’s eyes when she smiles.
If you are genetically predisposed to being obese, or have progeria it is indeed a sad situation and I could understand one’s quest to improve their appearance. But these products won’t help you anyway! And as for all you others - stop wasting you money on these worthless pieces of junk. Instead spend the money on a gym membership and fresh fruits and vegetables. Live healthy, the endorphins will make you happy. (now there's a drug we could all use)
And remember – you are ALL beautiful.
