Some Self Affirmation

Whenever I check facebook or myspace, I get cornered by those side margin ads to go on some sort of diet. I don't need to go on a silly diet to feel better about myself. I may not be the thinnest woman in the world, and gosh darn it, I don't want to be.

I like me, inside and out, and you silly ad men are just going to have to deal with that. Not only are your methods of targeting women for fad diets sexist and ethically flawed, but needlessly ubiquitous on the internet. Sure, I could be healthier, many of us could, but appealing to women's insecurities is in bad taste, no matter how profitable.

Your shady tactics don't fool me, and thanks to your superficial appeals, I'm laughing myself through the evening and not feeling a bit guilty for eating those 5 cookies earlier today. After all, it was Friday, and I needed some chocolate. I owe myself that much for putting up with your rubbish.
