"Are you beach body ready?" tube advert causes a stir

[Empired]

Fat people shouldn't be wearing bikinis or speedos. Of course they can if they really really really want to, but it ain't a pretty sight to the rest of us. And I don't understand why we should all be forced to pretend by the far-left tumblr nutters that every body shape is beautiful when it simply isn't. Those who are offended should take more notice of their own body which is probably offended health-wise by the amount of food they're shoving down their gob.

Your ridiculous comments on things that don't impact you in the slightest shouldn't be posted on HabboxForum or any other forum for that matter. Of course you can post them if you really really really want to, but it ain't a pretty sight for the rest of us. And I don't understand why we should all be forced to pretend that your body-shaming, downright disrespectful comments are acceptable when they simply aren't. If you're offended by this perhaps you should take more notice of what's coming out of your mouth instead of judging what other people are putting into theirs.

I am on the borderline between being a healthy weight and being overweight but I've never eaten more healthily in my life. I lost 9kg last summer/autumn by starving myself to the point where I'd have to sit down to stop myself from fainting, until it got to the point where I had to start eating again because I had an iron deficiency after not eating at all. If you're saying you'd rather see me in that state because it's "easier on the eyes" for you than the considerably healthier state that I'm in now then you're shallower than I thought you were.

Adverts like this do nothing for me. Any kind of advert which uses overly sexualised images of men or women tend to completely go over my head. I don't support this image but it doesn't upset me either because I simply couldn't care less. The problem I have with the campaign against this advert is that in the very act of protesting against the idea that adverts shouldn't rule our lives, protesters are letting this ad dominate their own lives.

OT: The company's sales are up 30% /£2m since this scandal came out a few weeks ago.

It's pretty obvious undertaker was scarred as a child seeing his mother in a bikini, leave the poor guy alone.

body shaming? yeah people who are huge and eat loads SHOULD be ashamed of their bodies because it doesn't look good and no amount of tumblr photos with huge feminists holding up cards saying "every shape is bootiful xx" is gonna change the reality of it.

just no no no.

I'd be happier if you stated your opinion as, "I don't like it when fat people wear bikinis and that is my opinion," rather than, "FAT PEOPLE SHOULDN'T WEAR THEM" because it makes you look like a massive *****

ummmmmmm what. of course it's my opinion that's why i posted it.

if you need people to write "thats my opinion" everytime they say something then you're barking up the wrong tree with me.

I believe that up until a few decades ago white people believed that black people were born to be forced into slavery and nothing else. If we can change our attitudes about that, why is it impossible to change our attitudes about this?

race isn't something that can be changed, health and weight is. why must we change our attitudes and be accepting of 'all shapes and sizes' if something can be done to prevent it happening in the first place or indeed changing it once it has become a problem.

There is nothing wrong with the advert. As the company said on Twitter:

Person: rara im insecure rara you arent helping rara
Company: Why should your insecurities be our problem.

This is a complete non issue and kudos to the company for sticking to it.

We should make people aware of the health problems that accompany obesity but I don't know how you suggest we force people into staying a healthy weight.
