Gillette is making waves with a photo it tweeted of an obese woman posing on a beach in a bikini, with her curves and cellulite on full display.
The razor maker last week posted the image of Anna O'Brien, a plus-size fashion, fitness and lifestyle blogger, under its @GilletteVenus handle, captioning it, "Go out there and slay the day." Some Twitter users said the ad glamorizies obesity and that Gillette is "irresponsibly" promoting an unhealthy lifestyle for profit.
"This woman will die of heat disease before @potus completes his second term. I hope she's just as happy and carefree for her last 6 years of life. Everybody should live themselves, but lets not call it healthy," one twitter user wrote.
Some commenters defended O'Brien while keeping their aim focused on Gillette. "There's no reason to be rude or unkind to someone who is obese and there is no reason @GilletteVenus should be encouraging life threatening obesity. This would also be true if they used an anorexic model. I wish the model they used well but Gillette should know better," @robbystarbuck said.

Morbidly obese.
Let me guess, here...............
What utter nonsense. Glorifying obesity should be discouraged:
Obesity’s Death Toll May Be Higher Than Thought
Study shows 18 percent rate of related deaths in U.S. adults aged 40 and up, compared to earlier estimates of 5 percent
researchers have vastly underestimated the number of deaths caused by obesity in the United States, a new report reveals.
Obesity accounts for 18 percent of deaths among black and white Americans between the ages of 40 and 85, according to a study published online Aug. 15 in the American Journal of Public Health. Previous estimates had placed obesity-related deaths at only 5 percent of all U.S. mortalities.
“This was more than a tripling of the previous estimate,” said study author Ryan Masters, who conducted the research as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation scholar at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, in New York City. “Obesity has dramatically worse health consequences than some recent reports have led us to believe.”
Earlier estimates erred by overlooking generational differences in the way the obesity epidemic has affected Americans, Masters said.
Because younger generations have been exposed longer to risk factors for obesity, they are at even greater risk of becoming overweight or obese and suffering all the health problems that accompany the extra pounds, the researchers warned.
“A 5-year-old growing up today is living in an environment where obesity is much more the norm than was the case for a 5-year-old a generation or two ago. Drink sizes are bigger, clothes are bigger and greater numbers of a child’s peers are obese,” study co-author Bruce Link, a professor of epidemiology and sociomedical sciences at Columbia, said in a statement. “And once someone is obese, it is very difficult to undo. So, it stands to reason that we won’t see the worst of the epidemic until the current generation of children grows old.”
The researchers investigated this possibility by breaking the population down into “cohorts,” or generations, and studying the effect of obesity on deaths for those age groups.
Using these generational groups, they analyzed 19 years’ worth of annual U.S. National Health Interview Surveys from 1986 through 2004 and compared those findings to individual mortality records from the National Death Index. They focused on ages 40 to 85 to exclude deaths caused by accidents, homicides and congenital conditions, the leading causes of mortality for younger people.
“Successive cohorts are living in this new environment and are at greater risk of obesity at earlier times in their lives,” Masters said. “Each specific cohort looks like a wave that’s grown bigger than the cohort that has come before it.”
For example, Masters and his colleagues noted obesity’s increasing effect on mortality in white men who died between the ages of 65 and 70 in the years 1986 to 2006.
Obesity accounted for about 3.5 percent of deaths for those born between 1915 and 1919, but it accounted for about 5 percent of deaths for those born 10 years later. Obesity killed off around 7 percent of those born another 10 years later.
Women appear to be more vulnerable than men to dying from obesity. Black women had the overall highest risk of dying from obesity or being overweight at 27 percent, followed by white women at 21 percent.
Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, said the new research provides a helpful framework for understanding and tackling the obesity epidemic.
“Up to now, it’s been a unilateral discussion about how obese you were or how much body fat you had,” Benjamin said. “The solutions are not only more exercise and eating better, but a whole range of environmental factors we’re going to have to address. The generation we have now is expected to be obese longer. That’s a core reason we need to change things now if we’re going to make this a healthier generation.”
To that end, the study does validate current efforts by public health officials to combat the obesity epidemic by focusing on youngsters, Masters said.
“The fact they’ve been trying to stave off obesity earlier and earlier in life, I think, is the right thing,” Masters said. “It’s a reaffirmation of the public health campaigns that are putting obesity at the forefront.”

You can’t get any more guilty than that
Another effort to do the following:
Gain public exposure
Virtue signal that Gillette tolerates lifestyle diversity
(Including any type of unhealthy lifestyle....prostie johns...prosties...sexual promiscuity....fatties....narcissism...etc..)
Increase sales....
Message to me: buy the cheapest effective blades...2 bucks for 10 at walmart...
I believe so, but I don’t remember who she said it to...
I saw My 600 lb. Life when a former plus size model was the person who came to get help and surgery for weight loss-she told Dr. Nowzaradan she’d still been modeling at 400 lbs-she needed help because she was over 600 now...
“You don’t exist to pleasure someone else... you exist to change the world.”
Some exist to provide shade.
she could wear more clothes and accomplish all of that.
You’d need to throw flour on her and look for a wet spot...jus’ sayin’
Harry's is lost too. I think Dollar Shave club is the choice these days. See now-deleted Tweet below:
Today is International Men’s Day. Believe it or not, that’s a thing.
Now more than ever, being a man demands introspection, humility, and optimism. To get to a better tomorrow, we need to take a look at today, and at the misguided stereotypes that got us here in the first place. pic.twitter.com/1lViZqWbIx

Would be easier to crawl over her, than walk around her.
I went with Dorco (which I think supplies Dollar Shave Club with handles and razors). It’s a good shave, I went with the 4 blade cartridge.
