To hate the Weightwatchers ad with Patsy Kensit?

The one where she breezes into the cafe to meet equally annoying woman and they whitter on about how fantastic they feel,
"i haven't felt this good since I was 30"

Oh I hate it.

Oooh I just came on AIBU to start my own thread on that annoying advert. Firstly in what universe is Patsy Kensit ever considered to be big or overweight, the other woman (newsreader type) also wasn't huge or overweight in the usual sense at the beginning. I would assume that WW's bread and butter (arf) is your average person with a couple or more stone to lose, why would you choose two seemingly slimmish women to advertise your brilliant weightloss plan. It's akin to certain bra companies using models with surgically enhanced breasts to advertise the great uplift and support of their bra's yes you ultimo.

The advert is a joke and v annoying especially when they talk about being able to eat with their children. I think WW think that not only do their potential customers have weight to lose but also are quite dim too.

Kerry Katona advertising that lady loans company can fuck right off too, they APR is like a gazillion percent.

Willyou, no, that's just what you think Grin

It's probably fine till someone informs you that you smell like diluted wee.

It's in the same vein as the toe curling Sky advert with Ruth Jones and Robert Lindsay. I suppose at least Patsy hasn't sold her soul to the devil in return for a wad of cash.

MsRobertDuvall, someone advised me not to exercise because of middle flab but to think 'lift' and use the midriff muscles to hold yourself a bit taller and straighter, also when you are sitting.

Well, you do also have to watch what you eat but this 'lifting' yourself is much easier than going to the gym and imo works ( a bit).

YABabitU. It's the one WW advert that doesn't make me want to hurl the remote at the TV.

I do share your rage! Cross on many levels but can't rant properly as bfeeding DD!

Misogynistic advertising. How is that a good angle?

I now what chips (from another shop)!

I've not seen the new Tena lady one.
I'm still involved with Tena lady in the lift followed by Tena lady going on a date with bloke from the lift.
On both occasions she's fallen over and shown her knickers but does it in such cutesy way, that said bloke can't resist the pee smell..
