Extra Throw Up

In Hong Kong, one can't go anywhere without being inundated with ads for Fancl House, featuring model/actress/Cantopop star Gigi Leung (梁詠琪).

The ads are so bad they make me want to hurl, and they're getting worse. The latest ad for a bottle of goop called Extra Slim Up, which supposedly burns off body fat, includes a cheesy and ridiculous Matrix: Reloaded ripoff pose. I swear the digital retouchers were hard at work, because Gigi's legs look eight miles long, and she's not that tall. More to the point, she's a walking stick. She ought to drink a product called Extra Bulk Up.

Don't take my word for it; judge for yourself.
