A new program in the United Kingdom seeks to ban advertisements featuring thin women. The Committee of Advertising Practice, which provides all guidelines and restrictions for advertisements throughout various mediums in the United Kingdom, is considering adopting a proposal that would ban the use of body shaming advertisements featuring thin women. The proposal would also eliminate ads that feature gender stereotypes such as a man struggling to change a babys diaper or a woman failing to park a car.
Ella Smillie, the lead on the proposal, argued that certain forms of stereotyping can be harmful. Our review of the evidence strongly indicates that particular forms of gender stereotypes in ads can contribute to harm for adults and children by limiting how people see themselves and how others see them and the life decisions they take.
In 2015, fitness company Protein World came under fire over an ad campaign featuring a thin female model. Some called for Protein World to burn to the ground for their use of the model, which allegedly caused body insecurity issues in those who viewed the ad. Under Smillies proposal, advertisements featuring models with rare or unusual physiques would not be permitted.

I was fat when I was young, and trust me, even if they banned pictures of all people, the fat ones would still know they’re fat, and that it’s not as desirable as not being fat.
How do you get off this insane planet? I want out at the next stop.
Fat women in the Sahara?
One word.
Shade!!
Good pun, if intended.............
Discrimination against thin women.
” It’s a good thing she is big boned. She needs them to carry around all the extra fat.”
Well, if I was selling cheesecakes, candy bars, ice cream, etc, I wouldn’t mind so much. Advertise to my main market WITH my main market.
If I was selling high fashion clothes, perfumes, jewelery, resort vacations, cars etc, it would hurt, because no one wants to look at fat people for stuff like that.
Newcastle ale caused quite a stir with this one.

Female fashion models tend to look like twelve year old boys for the simple reason that the fashion industry is dominated by homosexual pederasts.
One you acknowledge this easy-to-confirm fact then what goes on in the fashion industry makes sense.
The unarmed subjects dare not protest.
naa, it just worked out that way...
