I'm incredibly ticked off by the amount of negative advertising that goes on in the media in Hong Kong...I cannot go anywhere without seeing posters...on the streets..in the underground..or tvc's on buses or at home...and on every other page in the local magazines...adverts on slimming...and this isn't just going from a 18 to 12...this is going from a 20 to an 8!
women in Hong Kong are not generally big...in fact...the majority are incredibly petit/average. But no one is ever good enough in this day and age right?...we all have to aspire to look better...to dress better..in order to ultimately FEEL better about ourselves. well it's absolute bollocks. For the record...i'm average weight by Hong Kong standards..a 10...but i'm not perfect..no way. but who gives two knobs of goat shite?
These slimming programmes consist of some hard core technology which gets strapped all over you so you end up looking like robocops mistress with a hundred and one wires attached to god knows what sort of machines. This shit is intensive...but it's not necessary..instead, why don't they promote a simpler method. Eating well and getting exercise. I feel sorry for the people who buy in to it...they let it get to them...if they felt they were 8 sizes too big and really unhealthy then why do it in the first place?
It's crass. that's all there is to it.
take care guys
