Dear Facebook,

While I appreciate your attempts to market products that I will find useful in your sidebar ads, I have to admit I find some of them offensive. You hit the nail on the head when you offer me Mommy Surveys or Cutest Baby contests. But the ingenius "You fat?" and "You dumb?" kind of get to me. As if self-image weren't already an issue for a [postpartum] woman, you have to hammer it home with the following ads, constant reminders of my body.





I also resent the stretch marks ad, the "Ex-Husband in Freezer" ad, and the tips to get back with my boyfriend ad. I have trouble not allowing my mind to wander all the way to if a woman takes advice from an internet ad to get her boyfriend back, she is really messed up

So... knock it off, Facebook, I've had enough.

Sincerely,

Not That Unhappy

I love in the first ad how the girl miracously moved all of her fat, up to her boobs!!! Like you just don't lose the weight, you get to move it up to your boobs! Somebody tell me how to do that!
