Offensive advert?

[unixman]

The alien advert is not that amusing. Not sure about "offensive". The word has become such a dog whistle for pressure groups that now there is almost no point using it. Better say "acceptable". Is the ad acceptable ? Most people would say yes, it is.

See this is the problem with the obesity crisis slowly engulfing the modern world. If it's offensive to point out that over 50% of UK adults are now obese, how on earth can we expect to change their behaviour?

IMO treating obesity with kid gloves is just making it socially acceptable. I think it should go the same way as smoking in public and we try and make it as unacceptable as possible - the fewer fat people I see walking the streets the better!

Ad makes no sense. Surely it'd be easier to lift the skinny ones?

No doubt when it gets really interest Zeity(the designer of tractor beams and 4n4l probes) will be along to tell us the right answer.
