Very Offensive Advterisement against BBW

Sun Apr 13, 2008, 6:01 PM
  • Mood: Joy
  • Listening to: Jack FM
  • Reading: The Witches Of Eastwick
  • Eating: Basmati Rice with yogurt
  • Drinking: Diet/Caffiene free coke
I wrote to facebook and I will ask that you do the same to request this offensive advertisement is changed. There is absolutely no reason I should log in to facebook to check my messages and be made to feel gross, if you are reading this it is because you are listed as a friend of mine, so please step up and support me in this. It isn't right!

I wrote my email to info@facebook.com I'm not sure if that's the right place or not if anyone knows of a better place let me know. Thank you for your support and help in this I appreciate it. Until people start standing up to this sort of thing, it is going to be commonplace to be mocked and belittled for the size of your body, and to have it go from the school grounds and what have you out there into mainstream advertisements is disgusting, what if the advertisement had shown a dark woman wanting to lighten her skin with some product and the caption had said "ew gross I'm dark"..would that fly??? how is this different??

here is a copy of the email I sent

Hello. I am a member of the Facebook community and I have been extremely offended by an advertisement on your website. I can almost guarantee you I am not the only one. A photo of a womans behind, and her love handles with a caption underneath accusingly stating "gross!" with an exclamation no less is HIGHLY inappropriate and offensive to those of us who have love handles and do not find them gross, who have partners who do not find them gross. I don't need someone to tell me I am gross, if someone has love handles and finds them gross they will click on his stupid diet without him pointing out that they feel gross.

The advertisement links to [link] the diet is called the WU YI diet.

I ask you to request the advertiser use a less offensive way to market his diet plan.

Expect similar emails to this one until the advertisement has been made less hurtful because you have a big community out there and I suspect not all of them are love handle free.

You have a very lovely gallery, and I like that you show yourself off (you know you got it) Too many people are self-concious about the way they look. It's nice to see a person who knows their own beauty and can flaunt it well.

Must DWatch...very nice work.

:Heart: Mwah
Ciao for Now!
