    A beach body ad should be targeted at both sexes

    I have no idea - I merely raised the possibility that they stirred the pot themselves - hardly unknown.

    I shall treat your last sentence with the contempt it deserves.

    A bit like how the shirtgate scientist 'stirred the pot' by wearing a shirt deemed haram by the feminist thought police?

    These people are extreme and ought to be condemned like any other extremist group would be.

    It is possible that they egged the pudding. Can't really comment about the bomb threat as there is no detail in the story.. just a sub-heading. Surprising as you would have thought that would be given more emphasis.

    so ignore the bomb threats angle, but concentrate on saying how (without any evidence whatsoever) that they probably did this themselves. Now i know you jesaya so i know this isnt true, but people who dont know you might be thinking there is an agenda there.

    what legally? you think the law should be that beach body adverts should be targetted at men and women? well for what its worth i saw the picture of the ad and did think yes i shall sharpen up for summer, so i suppose it was targeted at men aswell.

    Just kept jeering at people for being 'insecure'.

    Personally I think anyone who believes that a twenty quid bottle of tablets will 'melt fat' is probably too stupid to debate with.

    Of course there are never ads featuring toned, muscular men are there?

    Oh calm down - of course people who threaten should be condemned... but protesting is fine (picture of Muhammed anyone?) and yes, the way they are milking this for publicity makes me wonder if they are stirring it themselves.

    I looked at them on Amazon... seem to be just caffeine loaded appetite suppressants. Have to take them with 'healthy balanced meals' or their shakes... which would probably mean you would lose weight anyway.

    They haven't sold 2 million pounds worth of extra product because some feminists have protested about their advertisements. I doubt whether they have sold an extra penny's worth. Who in the world would look at the twitter row and think, "well I wasn't going to spend the twenty/ forty/ sixty quid, but if it will annoy feminists, I'm in"? No one. They are just happy that they have found a complaint Mail reporter who dislikes feminists and is willing to print their bullshit.

    Defacing the posters was criminal damage, not protesting.

    You might be right about them milking it but if the feminists weren't so hysterical there would have been no publicity at all would there?

    I have no doubt that there is opposition to them - but I can't say I trust their version.

    So SJW's and the usual loony lot have scored a massive own goal boosting the guys millions. Nothing new there.

    Hilarious stuff! :D

    In the three-week storm since the posters went up Mr Seth has even branded the people defacing his adverts 'irrational and extremist', while colleagues have told critics to 'get over it'.

    Their aggressive approach has paid off because in the last week it also made him more than £2million in new sales for his diet supplements by 30,000 new customers and supporters.


    He has taken an extra £1million in sales and it's been good for me - my sales are up 30 per cent to £500,000.

    'I know there's a protest of some description going on in Hyde Park all I can do is wish them a happy day and thank them for the publicity. 'Don't make your insecurities our issue. Just because you feel uncomfortable looking at it it's not our problem. We are not scared about upsetting the minority.

    The woman in the picture is clearly not unhealthy, quite the opposite.

    I can't say I get overly worried about a bit of poster defacing to be honest - sometimes it can be quite amusing.

    Hilar. Only as I said, I don't believe a word of it. He sounds like an immature idiot making stuff up to annoy people. And his products sound like such worthless crap that they should be banned for misleading people, never mind the hideous advertisements.
