A new norm?

Every time YouTube runs a commercial, it's bound to show some disgusting-looking obese woman. Not just chubby, but really fat. She smiles and advertises clothes or something else, and we are presented with this as the norm. Like, look, we are just like you, there are a lot of us and here we are on your screen. We are what we are and we are not ashamed of it. That's normal.

No, it's not normal! You're not who you're supposed to be. You're sick. You're obese, and that's a disease you shouldn't be proud of. It needs to be treated. Change your lifestyle. Take care of your diet. Stop eating horse shit from McDonald's and get some fitness. Obesity, like any disease, can be treated. If you don't treat it, you will die soon. You will have problems with your blood pressure, pancreas, heart, etc. You are going to fucking die very soon. Even if you lose weight right now, you will still live less than you would never brought yourself to this condition. But still, if you don't lose weight, you'll die even sooner.

Showing us fat people in commercials is just as criminal as showing smokers, alcoholics and heroin addicts with the implication, "This is who I am, yes I do drugs, I drink and smoke. But I'm just like you. Look at me!" That's not fucking normal. These people need to be treated, they can't be shown to society as the norm, because it's not the norm, it's pathology.

What are they trying to accomplish with all this advertising? What are they accomplishing by adding obese people to Hollywood movies? Why are they trying to show us a very dangerous disease as the norm? Fuckin' idiots...
