Since Az posted about fitness in Japan again, I felt compelled to share my own little experience over the summer in Hong Kong. To be honest, I'm hoping Az takes a look at this one.

It's pretty insane how they make women in Hong Kong so paranoid about their image since women there are ALL tiny and thin as a board. Even though anorexia isn't usually the reason for all of this, these women STILL worry about their weight even though they're absolutely fine.

Want an example? My chinese friend Shirleen kept telling me how she needs to lose weight, even though you could probably wrap your entire fist around her wrist and still have room to move around Want more? I had a mentor at my internship who was literally little more than a skeleton, I swear I think a fregin 3rd grader could take her out within 5 seconds, and that's like a REALLY fat 3rd grader with asthma...after running around for 2 minutes.

I gave her a little fruit tart once and she responded by, "Oh, I'm gonna get so fat so quick." GOOD, WOMAN! YOU NEED SOMETHING BETWEEN YOUR SKIN AND BONES!! I can remember a bunch of guys waiting for the Olsen twins to turn 18 (because you know, every guy believes HE has a shot with the Olsen twins), but the second one of them went skeletor, I havent really heard it ONCE. Get the picture folks? We don't want breakable toothpicks, we want our women the same way we like our dinners, with MEAT IN OUR ENTREES, DAMMIT!!

But I digress from what I wanted to really share. Hong Kong has a sector called Times Square in Causeway Bay that had a pair of the most insane advertisements I've ever seen. Ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you this horribly wrong fitness advertisement of giant fat asian girl in all it's glory:

RUN bitch! Run for your life!


:eek: Ho-oly Shit. This cant be real, right? Have fat asian chicks become the Godzilla's of modern day society?

...yep, that's right. Complete with the tanker riding Giant Fat Asian Girl's back. That's a great message to send:
"Ladies, we love our harbor in Hong Kong. Please, for the protection of our people and the docks, don't become fat and destroy our harbor.

Now, how do you react to something like this? Honestly, you want to laugh a little bit (or more depending on your degree of evilness...right now on a scale of 1 to 10 I'm a 3, so I'm still below Hitler) and pray to God that the overweight girl isn't actually overweight and she was just photoshopped for fun and for the advertisement, but then the other half of you (you know, the side where the little angel sits) realizes maybe that IS a real girl and that the poor thing is now being laughed at all over the country. What's worse, fat girls have to look at that everyday and they really don't want to laugh at that.

Fellas, I'll leave you to your own opinions. Ladies...EAT A FUCKIN BURGER ALREADY, WOMAN!

Oh man, women are so insane when it comes to their weight there. Girls are even vicious to each other. My friend was telling me about how she bumped into an old classmate and the classmate said, "Wow! You're a lot fatter now!" :eek: And trust me, my friend was not fat at all, they just have insane standards there. As well as self-image issues. While I was there (also last summer!), I got complimented about how slim I was from people who were just about as skinny, if not skinnier (and taller...and better looking...) than me. ...the hell?? Do these people just have fun house mirrors at home?
I've always wondered what the local guys thought about that, but I since I didn't really met too many guys there, I didn't get to find out....
