Haven't seen the new WW advert but i will certainly look out for it now!....x
Aaaaarg!!! I HATE it with a passion!!
Patronising, insulting, demeaning, SEXIST pile of sh*te!
Insulting beauty consultant: "Now she's lost the weight, it takes half the time" (would anyone overweight want to go for a leg wax after that comment?)
Patronising husband: "I've got the girl I married back" (Yeah? Shame she can't say the same about the balding guy pushing the swing)
Weird Neighbour: "As a man I notice these things - sorry dear!" (eeeuuuww - report this perv to the vice squad immediately!)
Get this tripe off our screens!
I've done it ....
here's a copy of my complaint.
R-d Excellent complaint.
I'd love to send some invective too but it would be disingenuous as I've never acually seen the AD
I blame Mini's cos since I've joined I never turn the telly on,but get on the lap top 'to do some work' .
If you were thinking of trying again may I suggest the you add the point that the tone of the 'comments' that the men made in reference to the woman's weightloss & the implied rise in her attractiveness,were made in the work place, they could be considered to amount to sexual harrassment.
(so get complaining!)
Here is my reply.

Well put!
Of course I hate the ad and TBH would put me off joining weightwatchers [trouble is I have been a gold member since 1991!!!!!!!]
What does that mean?
They weigh you on gold scales?
It portrays WW as a diet stuck in the 70's - an old fashioned view of women in society - the obedient wife who duly loses weight to please her husband!
I hate it - in fact it makes me want to eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe thats the ploy - "Pee the fatties off "- so they eat and get fatter and they will eventually have to sucumb and join to shut their controlling husbands up!
Ha ha as ever of course something may happen if everyone complained. ah well such is life blessed to be a moaner must be my age:giveup:So the personal touch then sally.
I can see them actively looking into your objection as I write.
