Take a good long look at this ad. What is it really saying? Is an innocent flyer portraying two people who are fit and in love or is it saying something else?

Luckily for you people, I am here to clear away the subtleties and show you exactly what is happening in this photo.

They appear to be two happy adults who also happen to be slim. Coincidence? Well, let's look at a couple of things. First, the man is behind the woman, psychologically suggesting that he is in charge. He¸s also holding the measuring tape, which is around the woman's middle. Her hands are open in a classic sign of powerlessness and desire to be loved.
   

In a nutshell, this ad is offensive. If you can't see what's wrong with it, how it is subtly telling women that in order to be loved you must be thin, then enjoy the rest of your life being brainwashed by advertising.

Note: Even before I wrote this, I asked people how this ad made them feel. Surprising, most people admitted to feeling uneasy, although they weren't sure why. I pointed out a couple of things that I thought were wrong, and light bulbs started going off. It was beautiful. Not because people are seeing things the way I see them, but because they're beginning to question. That's all I ask. Just be aware of what the media is feeding you and your self-esteem will not suffer.

Pointing Idiot

I recently changed my hair colour to this incredibly bright candy apple red. A fake, plastic kind of red that is usually reserved for preschool toys. I was walking to the subway after work and two men approached me. As they passed, one all of a sudden pointed right at me and yelled "Fake redhead!" I looked at him for a second, then pointed back at him and yelled "No penis! " He looked a little stunned, and I went on to tell him how fuckin¸ brilliant he is for being able to discern that my hair colour was indeed fake. Retard.
