Yup. While I think it was positive in one way, in that overweight people shouldn't be made to feel shit about themselves, I have a bit of an issue with celebrating being unhealthily obese (as some of them were).
i didn't but i didn't get on the advert how they were shoving them into corsets etc to make them look thinner... surely that was against what they were trying to say with the programme? ie you don't have to be thinner to be beautiful?
Suppose so but maybe they were trying to get across that you dont have to be thin to be able to wear a corset some of them really suited the corset
Corsets change your shape, giving you more of a waist, cleavage etc, rather than make you thinner as such.
fair points, i'm not that up on what they do... now i know lol after studying the obesity epidemic & in pathophysiology i can't help but be a little negative towards anything that gloryfies it...
I couldnt help it did you see the proper gonk who was pissed off she didnt get picked!? What made her think she would ever get picked, its the type of person whose parents go "well youll always be my little model" and then blindly go through life believing it. I wish I taped it
the main women's accent went right through me... *shudder* but i agree, big ladeez need lovin too and should be respected... but not so much so that obesity is deemed 'normal', for want of a better word.
irish accents dont bother me... just hers! @iamian - acceptable could be a better word... i just dont think being overweight (in most circumstances) is natural and therefore shouldnt be glorified.
i see it as unhealthy (in 95%+ of circumstances) so shouldn't be seen in a good light... its a risk factor for the major killer in the uk CHD, one of the largest chronic diseases diabetes and results in a huge amount of cost for the NHS when it is (in most cases) a result of someones person choice (not putting the fork down)... i know there are conditions that make certain people gain weight etc... but the vast majority are the way they are because of their lifestyle... - which on the most part is their choice.
