So, I'm sitting here and my mother points to the television. There is a new body shaper being displayed on the shopping network. It says that it can eliminate all your rolls and saddle bags and what not, just by putting it on! Yeah, okay, then why are they having models with no body fat on them displaying this item? I mean, if it really worked, than they would show heavier women, rather than skinny. Don't you think?

Ive always wondered why the models are skinny, this is probably to make us think it does actually work. Its not as if they show a before and after of the model. There arent many heavier woman models, but then if saw a heavier woman using the body shaper would it encourage you to buy it or would you think 'shes still has body fat, does it really work??'
It is annoying ho they use slim models but never models in between!

For this particular commercial, they were actually showing the woman right before she put the body shaper on. So you could see she had no body fat, and then she put it on, and looked exactly the same! I just started laughing and shaking my head at the screen.

exactly! i agree many products specially losing fats they try to get people's interest by displaying nice body models without thinking that this could make a wrong perceptions of most customers to think about their product, if it really work why they make a model the fattest person in the world and monitored this person everyday until he/she got her/his desired weight or body figure. maybe because they minght think if they put a slim body model on it most people would appreciate their product.

Do you know what? I say the exact same thing!! It really gets to me that they do that. Why not show what it really does, and use real women instead of these skinny little things. Or is it because they do not have enough faith in their own product really working!! It is about time that they put their money where their mouth is, and I mean if they showed that it really worked surely they would sell thousands of the things!!
