Woman Takes Diet Ad Personally; Tries to be Witty, Fails

YesterdayYesterday Registered User regular
edited September 2008 in Social Entropy++
While on my lunch break here at work, I came across this article in which a woman was offended by a weight loss ad on her Facebook. She claims her Facebook called her fat, and then later claims it called her barren when it showed her a fertility test ad. The disappointing part about this, the article made its way into the Washington Post.

Discuss.

    What's there to discuss?

    People are dumb, and news outlets like to dwell on stupid shit.

    You can discuss other situations in which you've become disappointed in news that you find in a prominent periodical. Or perhaps other situations in which people are dumb and you found it amusing.

    you talked about playing it competitively and playing "at the college level"

    you then likened it to playing basket ball and other sports.

    You never said "ultimate is a sport" but you defended it/yourself playing it and acted as if it actually is a sport.

    I would imagine that's probably why she was so offended by it. She also states in the article that after being offended, she still did not diet though.

    Ultimate Disc is a great game and more of a sport than golf.

    The woman in the OP is eight kinds of a dumb bitch. Taking offense to Facebook ads advertising weight loss? How fucking self conscious is she? I mean, I don't get upset when Facebook puts ads for gay singles websites on my home page. It's not they're calling me a homo, or anything.

    No worse than the woman who complained to nintendo and filed a lawsuit (I think they settled) because Wii Fit told her fat-ass daughter that she was overweight. Her dad replied "She's not fat. She's solidly built".
