Disgusting billboard
There is a yucky billboard by my house for a liposuction company. (They also have a TV commercial that is equally disgusting.) The picture on the billboard is the torso of a woman from breast to hips. And the woman is disgustingly skinny. I'm not talking about "I work out and diet a lot" skinny. I'm talking about "eating disorder, third world" skinny. And for those of you who know me, you know that I don't use the term "third-world" lightly. I prefer "developing world" since I think third world has a negative, derogatory connotation. So here I'm purposefully using it to conger up images of starving to death. That's exactyly what this billboard looks like. You can see ALL of her ribs and it's really sick! Honestly, it's gross thinking that people want to look like that on purpose. I guess that super-skinny image is what they want to portray, but it's just so sad that they're portraying such a negative body image. It makes me sick every time I drive past.
