The ad in question addresses a common dilemma: to dessert, or not to dessert? An already slim woman is frozen in front of her office's refrigerator, an inner monologue belying a complex barter system that could justify a piece of raspberry cheesecake. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/15/yoplait-pulls-ad-that-pos_n_877618.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wzkKs0TOTs

Replies Vampireprincess Posted at 7:51 am on June 17, 2011 How is that promoting dangerous behavior? I've seen the commercial before, all she's doing is deciding what she should do to work of the slice of cake if she has one. I agree, people need to get over themselves. Luxe Posted at 10:39 am on June 16, 2011 Honestly, people need to get over themselves. There is nothing wrong with that commercial at all. That's something many women do on a daily basis, my mother and I included. Doubleshift Posted at 10:35 am on June 16, 2011 There's nothing wrong with the commercial. The woman grabs some yogurt. She's replacing an unhealthy dessert with something more healthy. Sounds like a good habit to me. Kaijuu Posted at 10:33 am on June 16, 2011 I think that commercial is fine and even if the woman were to do what she was pondering it would have been fine people need to get over this whole embracing fat thing exercising and dieting is GOOD!
