The real women thing really boils my piss. Women who are a size 8 are real too oddly enough.

My eyes are burning!!!

Oh my God, they're huge

All bollocks, innit?

boils my piss

Haha I thought that would irk folk the "real women" reference, as well as implying the women they've used are reet chubbers.

To avoid piss boiling can I choose to believe they mean ordinary women not models?

Oh, I thought this was going to be a vegetarian complaining about the local County Show.

They need to lose the stupid red dress and swimming cossies

And mix it up a bit with male models

Dieting seems to be such a 'female' thing but plenty of men watch their weight too.

Piss also boiling here.

And yeah that Katona woman lost 3 stone on the diet and didn't have it all sucked through a tube

real women fucks me of too

it is so patronising

I always think that worra, there's many times where I rage at DH about all diet/fat free pro biotic/laxative ads being aimed at women

AND I wonder how many times they can suction you before it's dangerous?

I don't know, Cockwomble, but I'm willing to test it out in the name of science if you'll stump up for the lipo.

It's when she parks her arse on the plastic table...trying to make her body look like the letter K that pisses me off.

She has a faraway look in her eyes, just like a cat has when it's taking a shit.

oh worra you made me laugh out loud with the cat shitting! Haha

Couldn't see any plus-sized women - have they actually printed the right photos i wonder??

My favourite ad was that old Dove one, which had a lineup of women of all different shapes, and skintones. (One had surgery scars IIRC)

I feel quite loyal to Dove, as a brand, because of this realistic portrayal of women. (They were all lovely BTW)

I too hate it when they say 'real women' - all women are real if they're alive aren't they??

There is something deeply wrong with the fact that the women in those pictures are "plus size" models.

Exactly athing!

In the fashion industry, all plus size means is models over the sample size which is 6-8

What is classed as plus sized anything above a size 8? I always think that shops like evans must use size 16 models at the very least. And even then I think they really size 12 but just wider iyswim! Evans starts at a 16 which is my size but I never shop there because I can get much more fashionable and cheaper clothes from other shop ranges. And there size 16 is massive and much too big for me anyway. I think they should use larger models as I'm sure most people who shop there are bigger than size 16 which most other shop ranges go up to. I find it hypocritical that a shop aimed at "plus size" (I hate that term!) Uses models smaller than their range anyway!

I would genuinely prefer to see clothes on a mixture of sizes in adverts and sure everyone else would too. Do they really think people are that thick to believe the special k women are "plus size"

Meant at the very most!

proud The product is aimed at the general population not at the fashion industry though.

There is something VERY wrong if general people over a size 8 are classed as plus sized.

"In the fashion industry, all plus size means is models over the sample size which is 6-8"

That was my point.
