Annoying advertisements

Annoying thing about those slimming world advertisements is that their ambassadors are usually models/artists/singers who are already so slim and thin they should be sued for misleading advertisements! Why can't they use someone like Joanne Kam Poh Poh, because then we know the real deal. She was someone big and then she lost a lot of her body weight.

This was her Before picture. Credits to Little Penang.

For those who do not know who she is, she was(not sure if she still is) a standup comedian in Boom Boom Boom in KL. Here's what I found from the Little Penang website about her.

"Joanne's style of acid tongue humor earned her the reputation of being one of the most notoriously funny lady on stage. Her brand of candid naughty jokes that pokes fun at men, women and all the sexual innuendos that makes her audience lap up everything that was being thrown out wanting more.
Her outfits as well was a state to behold, Ms Kam being a Big woman in many ways was fitted in tight fitting sequins gowns with plunging necklines that accentuates her full ample assets. Her style created a revolution as women of all shapes & sizes started idolizing her, all of a sudden big girls in KL were running around showing off their assets and having as much fun as their skinny counterparts. KL was shocked, in awe and fell head over heels for this bawdy voluptuous comedian. "

I've heard her stuff and she is funny!!

Anyway, that felt good because I have always wanted to say it out loud and I just did. Seriously, when they took that 17 year old boy who scored a string of A's for his SPM because he uses some 2B Luna pencils or something and put it on air.... The first thing that came to my mind was, Seriously dude??. Would your parents buy you a dozen pencils and think good, then my kid will be as smart because he uses the same pencil? Annoying!
