The inside skinny... on Weird Gastric Bypass Advertising
Weird Gastric Bypass Advertising

Controversial yes. Effective no. Believe it or not this is actual advertising for a gastric bypass surgery center. Equating obesity with suicide bombers is not only in poor taste, but bad business. If you thought this was bad, it only gets worse.

A sausage noose…

Diet pills…
What were these ad guys thinking? Obesity is suicide? This is suicide for the gastric bypass surgery center!

Yes we all know that morbid Obesity is dangerous but to equate it and high light it this way is outrageous and that to by a medical center. Stop it immediately
This makes me sick. Sometimes being overweight is NOT willful, as these ads imply. Does anybody really think I WANT to be obese (or most other people for that matter)? I’ve considered having gastric bypass in the past but these ads sure wouldn’t convince me to do it. On the contrary, they made up my mind NOT to have it.
U HAVE GOT 2 B KIDDING ME.. i am simply left speechless by this tasteless ad. it really does put “out there” what people think of overweight people… AT LEAST WE CAN CHANGE IT, U CANT CHANGE STUPID!!
Are you kidding??!! I have been on a diet my whole life with full understanding of what my weight was doing to me. Trying everything and having the disappointment of it not working. These ads are no different than the bullies from school making fun of the fat kids.These ads are born from ignorance and prejudice. I hope someone in that facility finds another way to explain to morbitly obsese people how Gastric By-pass can improve their lives. I have lost 35 lbs in 6 weeks, something I have never accomplished in a year.
wow. these ads are funny. funny because they are so stupid. i cant believe a firm would let these get through, havnet they heard of focus groups. lol.
while i dont think they are effective, i dont think theres any reason to get so upset like some of you are getting. i am a big gy, 345 lbs, but c’mon you guys are obviously emotionally scared and need to not let things like this effect you so much.
wheever gave these ads a go are morons. gastruc bypass is one of several solutions, but not THE only solution for obese individuals such as myself.
Wow! I can’t believe how incredibly ignorant this add is. Thanks for bringing it up!
