The advertisment of weight-loss products

There are many different forms of advertising about the weight-loss products on the Internet. One kind of these advertising is comic strip. In most of the pictures, we can easily tell how bad your life is if you are not thin enough. For example, it is more difficult for a girl who doesn’t have a great figure to get into a second job interview than a girl who does. A fat lady gets hurt because her boyfriend broke up with her and falls in love with a thinner girl. A woman looks depressed because she is not slim enough to wear a nice dress.

The sellers draw the simple cartoon image in exaggerated ways. Although obesity is not good for our health, as far as I am concerned, it is not appropriate to convey a aesthetic value that the thinner the better. The exaggeration in the advertising makes many people feel uncomfortable and think they are not lucky and good enough just because they are not slim enough. Meanwhile, these online ads humorously describe the misfortune of the fat people which may makes them more negative to their lives. The manufactures of the diet pill emphasize the negative aspects about getting fat in order to attract consumers to buy their weight-loss pills. However, their exaggeration might be over and lead to an undesirable trend as well as spread a wrong standard of beauty.
