    She's hardly freakishly skinny. At all.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    the pic kind of sucks

    should the girl not get a job because she's too thin... wouldn't that be weight based discrimination :pac:. Its not like coke is good for you, so probably doesn't matter what sort of body image the company promotes

    I saw the ad last night for the first time, and I KNEW people were going have a problem with it, which is pretty sad, considering it's just a thin person. Sure, people go on about how using thin models in the media promotes anorexia, but that's pretty much in fashion. So why is it that that girls thin arms suddenly makes her a "freak"?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭longshanks


    fuck it, skinny girls rock! fat girls would wanna get over it at this stage


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Even slim girls criticise the use of underweight women in advertising though.

    I haven't seen the ad - if the girl is naturally very slender (and some girls are) well she has a right to work in advertising surely. If she's underweight though, it's not a good thing. And it's as bad as using an extremely overweight person to sell a product (never gonna happen though).

    Obesity health risks - diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, fertility problems, osteoporosis.
    Underweight health risks - anaemia, fertility problems, osteoporosis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Doesnt a high sugar calories intake make you fat?

    Aiming this at slim and superslim girls will give them a false message and possibly fatten them up.

    :D

  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    Maybe thats the ad.

    She's so very very thin and she needs the coke to get those precious calories so people will stop making fun of her thin arms and leave her alone :(

    It's more about their personalities though - they're well known and liked.

    A fat stranger wouldn't be though...

    Gah! Just watched the vid - she's frightfully thin!

    But maybe she's not unhealthy, just really skinny. It's often hard to tell.

    The reason it is in fashion is because it is in the media though, actually I don't think it is in fashion all my mates prefer a bit of meat on a girl.
    I dunno, I know a girl at work that eats loads and can't put on weight so there is that side too. Omg i just dunno what to make of it all LOLS AND WTFS AND :('S


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    She's just skinny imo.

    And yes, I'd fill her pint glass too. Oh Coke and their sexual innuendo's.

    ah you're just splittting hairs now. its ok to be fat if you're famous?? doesn't hold water dudess.
    there are plenty on unknown fat folk in ads, the dodgy bank fella, the two fat lads dressed as women selling kitchen towels, again off the top of my head

    I don't think she's that skinny although her leg at 0:14 looks very thin. Meh I've seen far far worse.

    She's just normal. Now put down that pork and pick up an apple! :P

    Bony chest.

    A couple of pints of coke every day will soon sort that out though.
    Crisis averted.

    Where the hell did I say that? No, it's not ok to be fat. At all. I was making the point that, where a model/actor's image is important to the selling of the product, a fat person will not be used.
    For Iceland (food for unhealthy people anyway) sexy people aren't needed to sell it, instead a well-known, popular personality - like Kerry Katona and that one from the Nolans.
    It's not splitting hairs, it's taking context into consideration, which is important in advertising.
    True though, I should have said, when sex appeal is needed to sell a product, a fat person will not be used.

    Of course she's skinny (and not a "normal" size - what nonsense). You can see bones sticking out of her chest and arms. In another thread guys would be complaining about her lack of tits. And finding her skinny is not the sole preserve of overweight people.
    This woman for instance is "fatter" than her, yet slim: http://getdesi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/katrina.jpg
    I'd consider her very healthy looking.

    What is wrong with you people eh?
    For starters she is thin but she's not 'freakishly skinny'. She is on the thin side and so are a lot of people in this world, like a lot of people are on the chubby side and a lot of people are what we consider to be normal. Why are we saying that people from one of these groups cannot be used for commercials? This is pc-ness gone wrong, only a lot of people wouldn't recognize it for what it is, stupid pc-ness gone wrong.

    Is it maybe that Irish people are so over-excited about skinny people stuff because the chubby element is so prevalent in this country?

    It does happen, Ann French in the Terry's chocolate orange adds. She's fat, it works, it's a great add.

    I meant she was skinny but not too skinny.

    Normal for her body type not normal as in average.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with the way she looks. No need to give the girl a complex. It would only be bad if she was starving herself to look like that instead of just eating right. Know a lot of girls that look like her that aren't killing themselves to look like that.

    I can see my bones in my arms and chest. I make no attempt to lose weight. Its just the way I am, get slagged about it all the time. Can't gain weight either. Some people are just the way they are.

    I agree. And I said all that earlier.

    Well there's opinion to take into consideration too - in my opinion she's horribly thin and I think women look best when slim. Michelle Pfeiffer's the best-looking woman (face and body-wise) ever imo.
    I agree, the girl in the Coke ad isn't "freakishly" skinny though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Dudess, I'm singling you out for this one as you seem to acquire a bee in your bonnet every time something like this arises.

    How do you feel about the following?

    2


    How do you think the average fat ****er like me feels when I see pictures like this?
    No, not turned on.
    I have to live up to those standards if I want a girlfriend because that's what women expect in a man. After all, that's sexy, right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,582 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    They should be kept skinny and undernourished lest they rise up against us and gain the vote!

    The guy in the ad is also a bit on the thin side, but doesn't really seem to be an issue. Its only that you can she her shoulders and upper arms that she looks a bit boney, but don't think she looks an unhealthy weight
