"You Think I'm Pretty Without Any Make-up On..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Soooo at my one client's house the t.v. was on, and there was an ad going for some weight-loss programme. It started out fairly inoffensively: middle-aged, stocky woman going "yay now I am not quite as heavy I can do more!" which is a reasonable approach, really; and the fact that she wasn't skinny made it seem much more like a "I'm just wanting to be healthier, this isn't about the beauty standard" kind of thing. So far so good.

And then the last line of the commercial is her saying "Thank you [name of product] for letting me be pretty one last time".

What. the actual fuck.

So yeah, I thought you all might like to know what's wrong with the world.

Ffffffffffffffffffffffff

Also, "one last time"? Way to be ominous.

Weirdly, I believe that is Carrie Fisher, and I don't get the "one last time" at all. As if she has no more chances left? Er...

Maybe she is a zombie. D:

But seriously that is so creepy and insidious and wtf.

I saw that commercial about five times in three hours of TV-watching yesterday, and was also furious at the bit about "I can wear colors again! I don't have to wear black all the time!"

FAT PEOPLE CAN WEAR COLORS TOO, I PROMISE. THERE IS NOT A LAW.
