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.

Go away, Amy Schumer!
Shallow Hal is an underrated movie.
Friend of mine worked at a Gillette factory in the 80’s , he said he was the one that sharped those little blades before the guy next to him installed them in the razors ,LOL

Didn’t Mae West say something like that too?
They changed from the “best a man can get” to the “worst a man can settle”.
I love it when he cuts to the chase and tells them or their parents that they are their own worst problem.
She looks like she's 200 feet tall and is coming ashore to destroy Tokyo.
Yikes, sorry the picture came out so large.
I’m going to guess a liberal female, or some homo.
to eat Tokyo!
LMAO!
Same.
Everyone.
That which has been seen cannot be unseen.
God bless her and anyone who tries to enjoy a moment of life even without the cheers of others.
All of us are “doomed “. So the condescension about her health is pure bs to make the commenters feel justified and is elitist.
Lots of reasons a person looks the way the do. Being not perfect in looks is no reason to hide. Being active is important for all ages and sizes.
I am very disappointed at all the hatefulness and ugliness of spirit I am reading here. Just because a fat lady is having fun on the beach. Getting a little exercise and happiness. Which is truly important to the health of your mind, body, and spirit. Sweet Jesus.
You SOB!
Not even Google Earth could map all those nooks and crannies in any detail.
The woman in blue. :)
You suck.
Apology to BOC
“Oh, no, there goes Tokyo-go, go, Godzilla”
