I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it here, I'm sure I have in my myriad "zomg weight loss commercial!" posts.

There is this stuff called slimquick, they have commercials with cartoon-people.

When it first came out, I realized that the woman's thighs did not appear to touch. This struck me as weird, here is this woman caricatured to be obese, but her thighs do not touch. How can you be "fat" but not have touching thighs? Yes, I know, you could carry your weight up high or something. But even "not fat" people normally have touching thighs. Wtf.

So several months later, tonight, I am watching telly, and this commercial that I have decided is weird, comes on again. What do I notice, other than her having massive collarbone pokeage. This strikes me as odd, as last I knew, super-prominent collarbones meant you were a walking toothpick.

Silly Slimquick and their commercials.

you can sort of see my collar bones, but only when I move certain ways. I don't like when they stick out in a seemingly unnatural way. it just looks sick ... like, you're not supposed to see bone like that. it's like seeing people's rib cage. it's just gross

Bwaha
I haven't seen these commercials before, let alone heard about the product. Good shrinking boobs though, always a great way to grab the audience's attention

He was rather dry, which was surprising considering the sunny disposition he always seemed to have.

Dude, all those commercials for weight loss products totally lie. The before pictures are SO Photoshop-ed it's not even funny.
