Weight Watchers ad, part 2

Some of you may remember this past post about Jennifer Hudson in a Weight Watchers ad. I came across a new one tonight. Clicking on the picture took me directly to a Weight Watchers site, so it's for real. Take a gander: 

 So many problems here!

- Looks like Jennifer was standing when this photo was shot. Yet someone added pulled down, incorrectly positioned pants and part of a chair to look like she's sitting.

- Why does her left hand have a large white object sprouting from the pinkie ? I tried to enlarge the photo on my desktop and it seems to be a random finger added on. YMMV

- Jennifer's right hand ? Nobody poses with their hand at that odd angle. Seriously, I tested out this pose myself over here.  

- WW photoshopped Jennifer to have big man hands and shrunken arms yet again. I'm getting flashbacks to the little armed t-rex from Meet The Robinsons.  

- Pretty sure Jennifer's head was added into the picture. Either that or they tried messing with the size / angle of her neck and head

- What is that white line on Jennifer's right shoulder ? 

Weight Watchers Ad

I saw this Weight Watchers ad on another website:


Just by a show of hands, ladies: how many of you normally pose for pictures leaning sideways,one hand on your behind and the other in a "pregnant woman protects stomach" position ? Yeah, I didn't think so. Also, who photoshopped the man hand into the picture? Notice that Jennifer Hudson has one huge left hand in the pic and no elbow.

Weight Watchers Carrot Cake

"This portable, lightened-up version of a classic dessert is a treat that anyone will enjoy."







Last night, I bought a box of Weight Watchers Carrot Cake miniatures. The box had 6 individually wrapped cakes. Each piece was two inches long and about the size of a Matchbox car. The topping was cream cheese icing.

There was a yummy spice cake smell to the treats. However, that did not translate to the actual taste. The cake flavor was similar to dry banana bread, if you took out the banana and the spices. The icing posed a similar problem. It had a enticing cream cheese smell, but was rubbery and left a heavy chemical aftertaste. Also, each cake had twelve grams of sugar. Ouch.

A bad taste, too much sugar and tiny portions make this is a "never buy again" product. Thumbs down for Weight Watchers Carrot Cake.
