Weight Management Ad

Posted on by

So by watching this ad alone, fat women are going through pathetic lives with suicidal tendencies? Hmmm… the last time I check my fat aunt, she is always in a good mood and laughing. The only time she got worried was when her cat fall ill. :P

Men are shallow creatures but if a hubby shuns a wife because she balloons up especially after giving birth then unfortunately, he is an a$$hole. That sort of thing is inevitable. But that does not mean, I support morbidly obese women. :P

I don’t know what is up with Singapore and insensitive and tactless ad campaigns. The last time I was pissed with an ad was when I board the MRT and the whole damn train was pasted with posters saying things like “YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK TILL 80 YEARS OLD.” Ok, I can’t remember EXACTLY what it says but the message revolves around money and how much of it you don’t have and how you are going to die a pauper. And I saw this early in the morning, going to work. I wasn’t amused. The ad, by the way was trying to sell casino-style-interest-based investment schemes. Please.

Another obnoxious ad I remember was on the radio. The ad was trying to sell a luxurious car and they are using the buy-this-car-because-you-are-better-than-everybody-else arrogant tone. It seems that the status-hungry, materialistic disease of the mind and heart has penetrated deep into the Singapore masses to the extent we need a luxury car to feel good.

    Dear EB,
    Even though this Ad was excessive, I found out what was try to be highlighted here is true.I’m a fat guy lives in Malaysia. I was fat since i was born and never experience thin. I do found out that other people tend to hate fat people and makes fat people their punching bag. Every times I like a girl and I express my feeling to her, what will I received was rejected and humiliation. Even my teachers used to scold me without any solid reason. But when everything was cool down, I asked them why they scold me, and the answer was easy “I don’t know why.But I feel easy to scold your rather that other thin student.Maybe because they are cute.” The girls always makes me angry or try to make me angry when I express my feeling to them. Even when I apply job for gomen, they used to reject me by the reason that I am fat person. How ever, I do live in happy and go lucky live. I do excel in study and works. But the mentality of Asian people toward fat people are very bad. I never experience been discriminate when I travel in Australia.They respect the fat people there but not here in our own country

      Dear Azri,

      I totally agree with you that looks does matter in this world. Even how many times we humans are reminded not to be shallow, yet we are inevitably visual creatures. And so, by looks alone, your life will have an impact from getting a spouse, to finding a job to getting a promotion, and difficulty to have friends etc.

      And this generation is totally obsessed with looks like never before. I remember how things are not as severe as this during 1990s.

      Anyway, I am going to assume that you are Malay and Muslim so what better to give nasiha (advice) and to take it from Islam. If you are not, you can skip this altogether.

      Know that good looks are given from Allah. And Allah give good looks, wealth, poverty, wisdom etc. to whom He wills. Severe good looks also come with its challenges like invitation to fornication and adultery. And if you persevere with patience, do not be surprise of the mountains of hasanat (pahala/good deeds) that you have collected through the years when you face hardship because of your looks on Judgment Day.

      And besides, this world is temporary. We live max 80 years and the afterlife is eternal. And Allah does not look at your physical features but rather at your heart. If inshallah you are successful and ordained to be in Jannah (heaven), know that you will look different from how you look in the dunia. Everybody will be rewarded with good looks in Jannah, male and female, and everybody will be of the same age.

      Good looking SINFUL men and women on the other hand will land in Hell and they will no longer have their good looks because Allah will take it away from them. How ugly they are going to be, is already been described in the Quran. It is Allah that gives good looks and He can take that luxury away.

      I will share with you a hadith that I remember but I cannot give you exactly word for word but it goes something like this:
      A Muslim man who does not have good looks came to see the Prophet (pbuh). The Prophet (pbuh) walked from behind him and hugged him from behind and jokingly said “I have captured a slave! Who wants to buy him from me!” The man recognized the voice of the Prophet and said “Oh Prophet of Allah, I am a man who do not have good looks, you will find that nobody will buy me as a slave.”

      With that, the Prophet of Allah faced him and said “Know that Allah loves you dearly.”

      To conclude everything I wrote, I just wanna say that do not be too depress on your looks. Focus on being a good Muslim and dua for a good Muslim spouse (if you are not married). This world is huge BIG JOKE that don’t matter. The ones that rushes for it are fools. Prepare for the hereafter and you will be rewarded for your patience inshallah!

        Thanks EB AKA Brother Zul.
        Actually what you had said is just the same as my Ustaz in secondary school said. He said that I should not regret for what had happened to me because Allah never burden its servant beyond the servant willpower. He also said that I should be thankful for being like this because my condition had become a barrier for me to indulge in act of sin together with girls just like other mans do. If I do any sin, it not related to girl but it was on my own such as lie or stealing something.
        Actually,I really enjoy myself and my condition also had make me close to Allah since He the only one who I could submitted any of discomfort that I encounter on my everyday life. The only bad thing I felt is the inferiority complex when there is someone out there who act on hatred manner towards fat people like me.
        I do agreed with your statement of ” And so, by looks alone, your life will have an impact from getting a spouse, to finding a job to getting a promotion, and difficulty to have friends etc.And this generation is totally obsessed with looks like never before.”
        Malay woman always said that they don’t looks at man appearance to choose their spouse but their heart, was a falsified statement to disguised their real intention. Now days in Asia people more obsess on looks rather than heart. But I wonder why all Mat and Minah Salleh was not like that.More over I felt so sorry, that as a Muslim we should look on people islamic knowledge to choose for spouse,friend or become worker but we rather tend to choose look beyond all these essential knowledge.
        Now what happened is Westerner are more likely to select people with kind heart rather that looks for their partner. I do remember one nice looking girls just came and sat beside me when I travel alone in Australia.I did asked her why she not sitting with other whites and handsome looking guy over there. But her answer rather simple and makes my Malay mind tumble.” I could see sincerity in your heart.I knew fat guy never try to flirting with girls or try to harass me just like they do.”
        Anyway Bro, Thanks a lot for your soothe-ring words. I had follow your blogs since you design the enjit enjit semut MTV. I found that you are just like and elderly who had wide vision and more to kampong style man who was pious and looks some issues through our Malay way of life of courtesy and kindness. I do used you cartoon of EB who was put on emergency break glass box for my FB profile pic.Some of my girlfriends feel I try to innuendo them as they do treat me as their spare boyfriend. Maybe, I should become like a broken Lamp Post that Gomen never think I was exist in this challenging life.
        Again, last but not least, thanks for your advice and nasihat according to our islamic point of View. May Allah bless your kind heart always.

        Your Sincerely,
        Azri Alias Bob
