Don’t look at me. Some visual expert named Meme Roth has expressed her dismay at Jordin Sparks for not being a good role model because “apparently”, she’s not fat, but obese. Now this is some good TV, everything is going crazy at FOX News!

I’m pretty careful with the articles I write in this blog, citing sources whenever applicable. And I believe so should everybody else, especially professionals in the medical field. I didn’t see any MD attached to her name. Dietitian? Nutritionist, maybe? Her website mentions nothing but a cute slogan, “I am the picture and message of prevention…” Uh, if preventing me from getting fat is this eye-soring, sorry, ma’am, I’ll pass.

Sure, you don’t need to be an MS or have a PhD to call someone fat, as much as Rachel Ray needs no measuring cups, miraculously eyeballing all her fluid ingredients to concoct a fabulous 30-minute meal (not that I have anything against RR). However, this video clip is such a hair-pulling moment.

This line of ads running across the globe is dubbed “Campaign for Real Beauty“.The above version, entitled “Evolution”, was produced in Toronto, Canada, directed by Tim Piper and Yael Staav of Reginald Pike. Tim also conceptualized the whole thing together with Mike Kirkland of world-renowned advertising agency Ogilvy.Amazing how in Continue reading ‘Beauty Version 2.0′
