One of his election promises was to ban unrealistic body shamming ads aimed at women. This is 2015 all over again.

As a feminist these ads basically enforce the idea of women being a commodity and only good for being attractive.

Although I understand the fitness advert the advert is all about appearance rather then being healthy or happy.

The ad is especially wrong considering the rumoured surgery the kardashian sisters have had that no workout shake could ever achieve.

Aibu?

I don't consider the ad to be offensive and I woukd consider myself a feminist. What I see is a celebrity endorsement from what I consider to be a vacuous low rent celebrity albeit with a rocking body, one I would love to have, but never have had and never will. But do you know what, I've got a pretty nice body too. Will never be a model but I get by. Never understood women who object to cool sexy pics of other women and I won't be buying protein shakes.

I never got the point of " children look upto them" or "they influence a younger generation"
Teach your child that not everything you see on TV is real, airbrushing, makeup and hairstylists on hand.
That they are paid a vast amount to plug certain products.
Teach them it's not unusual for a bit of cellulite or stretch marks. Boobs stents always perfectly sized and round, acne will occur etc.

I loved Lindsay Lohan when younger, she was classed as a role model. I haven't decided to go down the path she went down because she was a role model.
Chris brown is another example, he was/is a role model for youngsters. When he committed DV on Rihanna there wasn't a sudden rise in DV because people copied him.

If I had seen that poster back when I was a teenager I would have laughed and made the comment "airbrushed much".

It's a poster of a celebrity with a body she worked hard for, I don't see what the point in getting worked up is.

I'd rather not live in a world with spurious cencorship so as not to offened all and sundry, I can get just as offended by a picture of a fat person than I can of a skinny person, offence is subjective.
