Woman Who Doesn’t Need to Lose Weight Bangs Head to Lose Weight

People are always trying to lose weight. There are millions of books written to help people lose weight. We have health clubs on every corner. And we have an endless supply or advertising urging us to do the wackiest of things to lose that weight.

Created by BSUR Agency and directed by First on Mars director Hugo Keijzer, we have yet another ad (for Get in Shape magazine) which mocks all those wacky methods by using a wacky method of its own. There’s only one problem with this ad. The woman in the ad is perfectly fit and doesn’t need to lose any weight at all. Though she does strip down to her underwear and that’s never a bad thing in advertising.
