Someone walked up to me in Kroger the other day and handed me an Herbalife ad. I just said "no thank you" and gave it back to her. I thought it was because I was fat, but then I saw her hand them to quite a few other women of all sizes.
Ya know what's weird (and even a little amusing). On first glance I read that as "Euw, I've been slimmed!"--before I even read the contents of the entry.
Being slimmed (or being exhorted to be slim) without consent is definitely slimey.
Actually, any form of non-consensual advertising is icky.
But, you shouldn't take this personally: I'm sure you get a lot of email spam offering to help you increase the size of your penis, too. (I get email every so often for bigger boobs.)

I got up in his face -- I towered over him -- and started rumbling, "Are you trying to call me fat..?"
Poor guy bolted like a hare. It was great fun.

Let's take Siobhan out and have her tower at people.

(I was all spiked up in anticipation of a night of clubbing too, so that probably helped.)
I'm sure it's not personal

P.S.: Side mirror? How does *that* work?
Re: I'm sure it's not personal
There's a little space between the mirror and the plastic case that holds it (so that the mirror can be adjusted). The ad was stuck in there.
