Where do you see biceps? Her arms look like toothpicks.
Quicksilver, being male and apparently thin yourself doesn’t really give you any insight into what women are supposed to look like, I guess. Jessica Simpson is emaciated in that picture. I honestly don’t know anyone who really looks like that. She’s surgically enhanced AND undoubtedly airbrushed. I’m tempted to just give you the big :rolleyes: on this one if you think she looks like a normal person, forget about a Pizza Hut patron.
Come with me to my gym. Any gym. I’ll show you many many women who look like this.
Why does it matter that she surgically enhanced any part of her body? So what?
You know I was 100% with you when you critiqued the pizza in question. It’s pretty unhealthy because of the fat content and really seems unappetizing to boot. The latter being completely subjective.
What disturbs me is that you feel it’s okay to tell a thin (and seemingly fit) person to “eat something” but would likely be offended if someone told an overweight person to give the bbq rib buffet refill trip a pass.
Sorry, a more fair analogy would probably be to tell an overweight person to skip a meal.
Forget her breasts-I think most of that weight is carried in her lips. Have you seen her lately-she gives Peter Burns some serious competition.
I may have mentioned this on here before. But either way, here’s the new rule for commercials: If you want to put a commercial on the air, you (meaning the director or producer of the commercial or something) have to first watch it 25 times in a row, with no breaks in between. (One of those commercials that are half-sized, so you end up with two commercials in a row, you have to watch the pair of them 25 times, which means you’ll hear the tagline 50 times, yes.) If you still feel that releasing this commercial would not be a crime against humanity, you get to release it. If you’re thinking, “Oh God. If I release this commercial, the human race will rise up in anger and never forgive me,” then you may not.
Of course. Women are supposed to have multiple ribs visible.
Well, to continue this hijack 
I used to love Jess, in fact I thought she was the prettiest of the poptarts. Her body was great about 10 or 15 lbs ago. Cite and Cite (too lazy to find any better pics)
Oh, and for Guin: Lips of DOOOOOM!
Back on topic though: that pizza does look…icky. Of course, Pizza Hut has pretty gross pizza to begin with.
Well, you’re factually incorrect, as least as far as the American population goes.
According to the text in that picture of Jessica Simpson, she’s a size 2. What proportion of American women—even fit, healthy ones—do you think are a size 2? The average size is somewhere around a 12-14, and i know plenty of women in the 8-14 range who are not obese and who do a considerable amount of exercise.
I’m not saying that Jessica Simpson is necessarily unhealthy or too skinny. I don’t know anything about her metabolism, how often she works out, how much she eats, etc. All i’m saying is that her body is not normal, in the sense you seem to be using the word.
Soimehow I doubt that very much. I’ve spent my share of time in the gym and hardly ANYONE looks like that there either. No one I know who is an adult has a waist that small and boobs that big. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but it doesn’t happen a lot.
Because surgically enhanced bodies are not “normal.” Someone said she couldn’t be considered too thin b/c of the size of her breasts. I’m saying, she looks like a skeleton with two halves of canteloupe stuck to it. That’s not healthy, plus it does not make for a very convincing spokesperson for Pizza Hut.
First of all, my point was more about the commercialization of a food item which led to its perverse bastardization into the Cheesy Nodule Monstrosity. It’s overkill with the cheese edging and the ridiculous advertising in trying to market something old and good as new and innovative. Pizza wasn’t broke, so it didn’t need to be “fixed” or revamped AFAIK.
You’re disturbed? Well, so am I. Did you see that pizza? Ewww. Anyway, I don’t think JS looks fit. She looks weird and out of proportion, just like the pizza she’s trying to sell. Would I tell an overweight person to skip a meal? No, because that’s not the way to lose weight. Exercise, yes, but that’s not how Jessica Simpson got her body. The wonders of modern medicine and advertising airbushes probably constitute a good deal of her look.
Also, this topic is hijacking my thread bigtime, so either open your own or let it go. I just wanted to carp about the bastardization of pizza. I had no idea Jessica Simpson was hawking it until **Diosa Bellisima ** said so.
I haven’t even heard the jingle, but I can’t look at the damn thing without thinking it’s going to leap up and cling to my face, then a few days later, some weird pizza monster will burst out of my chest. “Pop right into you”? Is that really what they say about it? That’s exactly what I’m afraid of.
The probable reason they picked that song was because Jessica Simpson did a duet with Willy Nelson on it this last summer for the Dukes of Hazzard movie. The question is, did they pick the song because they had hired Jessica Simpson, or did they hire Jessica Simpson because they picked the song. 
In either case, the lyrics certainly give you pause when you listen to them.
While I agree she is quite thin, I don’t think she is as thin as the pictures make it appear. Her back in the side shot has either been photoshopped or is just in really dark shadow so she looks even thinner than she is. She looks much more normal in the more relaxed front shot than the side shot.
She is thin, yeah, but certainly not emanciated. I go to a school with over 27,000 students, and with over half of them being young, 18-22 year old females, I see body types like this all the time, hundreds or thousands of them. I don’t know where you live, Houston perhaps?
When a person is emanicated, not only do they lack muscle tone, their skin sags, the belly protrudes, and their face is hollow and bleak. None of these are true for Miss Simpson.
That’s actually not a bad fat content for a single meal, although it’s a bit high: you oughtta get about 30% of your calories from fat, IIRC, and this slice is around 35%. Drink a megagulp Coke with it, and you’ve got a balanced meal!

Hell, not that I would ever buy something from pizza hut, but after seeing the commercial, I am tempted. It looks pretty good to me.
You want mindblowing? Read Kornbluth/Pohl The Space Merchants and The Merchants War. It is a satire of the future seen through the perspective of 50s and 60 advertising agencies gone wrong.
mrAru and I have read them, and see a lot of correllaries between the way that ad agencies “corporate sponsors”[which in the books actually control the governments] use brand awareness to control population and garbage like these commercials.
I think Ill go have some bredd and caffiest and watch more commercials.
New at Pizza Hut - Face Hugger Extreme Pizza!
“Hello 911?! Send an ambulance! It’s these bites, they’re – they’re popping into me!!”
My guess is it started with California-style pizza with “upscale” foodie toppings like artichoke hearts, sun-dried goat eyeballs, and the like. At that point, pizza crossed the line from “comfort food” to “cuisine.”
I wonder when it’s going to happen to chicken wings.
This is what’s upsetting about that commercial to me.
After, the bites have popped right into you, HOW THE HELL DO YOU EAT WHAT’S LEFT?
The crust is the handle of the pizza!!!
It’s like a McDonald’s commercial where you’re supposed to eat the buns first, and the commercial leaves the hamburger patty sitting there with ketchup and pickles on it.
I don’t think “one of these days these bites are gonna pop right into you” will reach the heights of “where’s the beef?” but maybe it will stand up next to “pokin’ at ya, pokin’ at ya, pokin’ at ya”.
Doo doo doo
We are the parasites!
Doo doo daa
You’ll like us the most
Doo doo dee
Don’t wanna cause you fright
Doo doo dum
But you are the host!
Catchy, eh?
This one doesn’t look as ridiculous as the “Twisted Crust Pizza” they had a couple years back. When I saw that one, I was well and truly impressed. Getting people to pay more for a pizza that’s mostly bread! Genius!
