Ad is fine. Whatever. Definitely doesn't need to be banned.
Oh, so it wasn't the billboard in particular that was the cause of outrage it was them taking a stand on their body shaming type stances on social media when upset people tried to get angry over the ad on social media?

Well the ASA disagree. They feel the ad is making inaccurate and unsubstantiated claims.
These ads have been banned now.

Um, Putting a beautiful women in a bikini on a billboard is a new style or marketing?
Isn't this marketing 101...
Well, the pills are probably bullshit. But we advertise a lot of bullshit all the time.Well the ASA disagree. They feel the ad is making inaccurate and unsubstantiated claims.
Too late. The media did a great job in making this company well known.
I think they have every right to defend themselves on twitter when every one was attacking them and accusing them of body shaming
They're not wrong about the obesity problems in the UK and when it's brought up you are fat shaming
So basically 90% of all ads should be banned then.
I think the thing is that they are kinda cunty on twitter. Credit to imgur for these:
Their CEO seems to revel in trolling people (he apparently runs their twitter account).

The argument is that all bodies are beach bodies. If your body is on a beach it is a beach body.
I never see men complaining when almost every form of popular media sexualizes their bodies.
And it is crazy difficult to attain the standard of masculine appearance that movies portray.

Haha, how offended are you?Scumbag company championed by misogynist, body shaming, MRA dickbag, Gamergate thundercunts.
Hopefully they'll go out of business ASAP.
Hopefully he'll get eaten by a shark.
I don't see any direct insults in those pictures, just making fun of the complaints.They weren't doing a good job of defending themselves. They were just outright being assholes
Haha, how offended are you?
I dont even eat those supplements but I think Im gonna start now with their products.
They're not wrong obesity, will lead to a host of health problems, there's a reason why heart disease is the biggest killer in many western societies.

Then they should grow a thick skin. Nobody is hearing men complain about ads with ripped guys.I'm guessing most of the replies in this thread aren't from young women with low self esteem that get constantly reminded about the importance of their body image, because that's the vulnerability that this company is hoping to exploit for profit with their magical products that probably won't turn you into a skinny supermodel in time for summer.

Go on, keep spreading lies and shit.It's great that you feel you need to support a company that openly hates women.
Just an FYI, the biggest reason heart related issues is a big killer in western society is because we've basically eliminated many of the ways people die in other places.
It's great that you feel you need to support a company that openly hates women.
