#9: Pro STUPID?

I Beat Obesity



This was an ad to support anorexia. I guess anorexia is the only other option besides obesity? How about thin, or curvy, or uh HEALTHY? Neither option, obestiy or anorexia, is a good option. There are so many more possibilities for every body type!

The phrase "I Beat Obesity" also makes it seem like obesity is an illness. I personally do not believe obesity is an illness. I think it is a problem, but not an illness.

This is another ad that shows how much women descriminate against each other. Skinny girls calling other girls fat and vice versa. And us girls wonder why men think it's okay to judge us by our bodies? Because first we judge our own bodies, and then we judge other women by their bodies. Men see this and think "well if they do it to each other it should be okay for me too!" WRONG! It's not okay for any group to descriminate against another group. In our generation, it's no longer about skin color or sex or even sexual orientation so much. Nowadays, it's about how you look. Women are always competing with each other. Competing to look the best, whatever that happens to be this season, and competing for mens attention. We're always tryingt o break one another down so we can somehow be lifted up and feel better about ourselves. This is another reason why girls are anorexic. This shows the pressure they have to be skinny because if they're not skinny then they're considered obese.

The colors in this ad are all black and white to ad a sort of drama to the subject. It does ad a seriousness as well, which is important because this is a very serious topic. If the colors were bright it wouldn't be the same because it would lighten up the mood when this is supposed to be a dark ad.

This ad uses the appeal Need for Aesthetic Sensations because it shows a pretty girl with the shirt that says "I Beat Obesity" so it's saying to be pretty you can be obese.
