I have not given up on blogging in preference of Twitter, just so you know. It's just that I haven't had a lot of long-winded things to say lately. That, and 3/4 of my energy this week has been burned up hanging sheetrock.
This is a picture that runs as part of a weight loss ad that appears on countless Web sites. As "Before and After" pictures go, this one particularly grabbed my attention due to the sheer shamelessness of its impossibility.
Firstly, in the "before" image, the woman's tits are just a quick sag away from being tucked into her panties, while in the "after" image the boobs have been hiked up so high, they're practically a chin rest. Granted, either way they're still boobs, so I approve of each version, but I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness here.
Secondly, this is one of the only weight loss regimens I'm aware of that can turn a belly button from an in-ee to an out-ee. Even assuming that the out-ee is, in fact, a piece of navel jewelry (a possibility that's pretty remote based off my extensive image investigation), we're talking a total torso redesign here.
My verdict: shenanigans.
