I guess they don't realise that a woman looking like Mr Blobby wouldn't be the best advert for a fitness product

I think the point that are making, if you read the article, is that the Advertisers are implying that if a female doesn't have a body like the one portrayed, then they shouldn't really be seen on the beach. So I agree with the protests. Personally I prefer a curvy woman with a bit of meat on her.

There's curvy, and then there's just unpleasantly saggy in all the wrong places. Keep the beaches beautiful!castex said:

So long as that form is fat... they don't like fit women;article said:
Charlotte Baring, from East Sussex, the petition reads: "Protein World is directly targeting individuals, aiming to make them feel physically inferior to the unrealistic body image of the bronzed model, in order to sell their product.
I'm fairly confident bodies like that are realistic, I've seen quite a few.Axionknight said:

Do we really have to celebrate it, or can we just get on with our lives as per normal?HTH.
Seriously though, it makes a decent point. Think about this from a male perspective. Go to the beach this summer and you'll see beach balls. Then you'll take off your sunglasses and realise that actually they're just sunburnt fat men, and they don't give a flying f
k that their mid-section is an almost perfect sphere. There was a piece on R4 tonight about male models/actors with six packs out being the norm on programmes like Poldark for example to get the ladies all giddy on the sofa on a Sunday night.
Anyway the gist was that normal men don't care really and if anything, inspires us to put the beer down and do some exercise.
Strange isn't it when women get all angry whilst blokes just get on with it.

It was the recent Poldark business that prompted my response.I've had to put up with woman lusting over firemen calenders and organizing stripper nights and ogling the posters under my nose in my working life.
It never once occurred to me to be offended or come over all insecure and inferior.
I'm struggling with these protesters' perspective.
They keep waffling on about their latest buzzwords, 'body shaming'. Surely that only works if you are ashamed of your body? If that's the case then surely they should be grateful about being reminded to put down the cake and do something about it?

The irony is that many of the women who do protest over this, are women that no one really wants to look at anyway

The difference is that a picture of Poldark doesn't appear on the tube with "Are you Cornwall-body ready??" with the latest weight loss/muscle building product advertised.I've had to put up with woman lusting over firemen calenders and organizing stripper nights and ogling the posters under my nose in my working life.

Also what makes you automatically assume that it's "non attractive" women? This morning on Radio 1 Kate Upton talked about how she sometimes feels insecure about her body.
