Ok, I found this linked on a blog I read regularly and it just cracked me up.



Apparently not only will whatever this product is cause you to lose ridiculous amounts of weight in weird proportions, it will change the color of your skin, too.

Do they even check before they publish these ads? That's just funny!

Now that is funny. Now I'm smelling the gingerbread coffee creamer from spitting coffee through my nose. I actually needed that kind of laugh today.

Maybe you rub it on and it burns the fat from the outside


warning: may cause skin discolouration.


I wonder if we should move this thread to Does it Work? Cuz if you found it, someone else will find ... and think it's worth a try.

Hey maybe you take two tablets each morning and then they relock you in the basement in a box .... that would explain the pale skin!

Everyone's making fun of it, but I want to try this this! I accidentally picked up a sunburn over Thanksgiving, and maybe this product will get me back to my accustomed vampire pale...

I am kicking myself that I can't find this blog post I stumbled across a month ago or so - it was one of these same kinds of ads, with a "before" and "after" photo claiming some preposterous amount of weight lost in a short amount of time. The two girls looked alike, at least (same skin tone!), but the person noticed something fishy about the image...

Turns out the diet ad people had taken a photo of two girls (sisters presumably) and cut it down the middle, then switched it so the right girl was on the left. Their arms were around each other in the original photo, so when the guy reversed the editing that was done, the arms lined up again...

The bigger sister became the "before" and the thinner sister was the "after"....

Just let the 3FC gals know how it works for you. You could do a review for the front page.

I saw one the other day that was soooo obviously that coloured conture creme ... which apparently can lower your BF%.
