RidicFaved: An Urban Outfitters Lingerie Ad Was Banned in the UK Because The Model's Too Skinny

To be skinny or to be fat is the real question as the once "you're too fat industry" that everyone loved is now being criticized for using a "too skinny" model as labeled by the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority).

Just days ago, Urban Outfitters lingerie ad was banned in the UK because the model was too skinny, as ruled by the ASA. Even after firing back with the models 23.5 inch waist stats, the ASA proceeded to not recognize the claim by Urban Outfitters and continued with the banning of the ad.

“They did not believe she was underweight and provided a copy of her agency profile, other photographs of the model and a list of clients for whom she had posed," the ASA stated. "They stated that her waist size was 23.5 inches, and provided documentation from outerwear brands showing they provided clothing for that waist size. They added that it was common practice to use slim models in the underwear industry, but they did not consider that the model was underweight or unhealthily thin; they considered she had a naturally tall and slim physique.”

Personally, I think weight shouldn't matter. Some females, like myself, are naturally skinny with fast metabolism while others love to eat and love having more weight.

The world should just accept everyone for who they are because 9 times out of 10, these society critiqued individuals love the skin they are in.

Would the ASA ban an ad with a plus size model because she was too fat? Nope, because that would be labeled as wrong and pressuring her to be skinny. 

Sooo, why isn't this labeled as pressuring someone to be fat or to gain more weight? 

Don't criticize a model because she appears to be too skinny in an ad if you're not going to criticize the opposite for being too fat.

All types of fat isn't healthy. 

Let's think back to the woman whose legs and thighs exploded from unnaturally enhancing her buttocks, hips, and thighs. Let's think of all the people who passed away because of clogged arteries from stuffing their face with junk and fast foods. Let's think back to the woman who passed away from gluteus Maximus shots that were going to make her butt bigger. Hmm, let's think about that.

And no, all types of skinny isn't healthy either like anorexia, bulimia or gloating on diet pills, but there are people and females out there who love being natural skinny, who love being naturally thick, and who love their fat. The focus should be on helping girls who have low self-esteem and are easily influenced by ads and society, not criticizing those who are not because that is one more potential "low self-esteemer" who could crash and hit rock bottom and be one more person you may have just added to the bunch.

My point is basically why criticize an ad because of a models weight if there are people out their who look like her happily and naturally. All of these weight rules and regulations are the real problem.

The clothes are for the real people, right. Not just the ASA. 

What do you think? Was the ASA wrong for banning for the photo or should Urban Outfitters fight for their rights?
