STOP THE MADNESS (PART 726)

FMF Image

Not only has Jeremy Edwards managed to get off "the drugs", he's also managed to find time to go from flabby to fabby.  The picture on the left is Jeremy after following the Mens Health workout plan for 6 weeks.  And we are supposed to believe that?  Hey, why can't everyone get a body like that in 6 weeks?  These things really annoy me.  They make me want to ask simple questions such as:

1. Does it make a difference having a white / grey background?  If not, why change it?
2. Does it matter that in the before photo he is wearing jeans with a really tight belt?  Why not wear those in the after photo to show the difference?
3.  Why make him pose differently?
4.  Why is the lighting in the after photo complimentary and glowy compared to flat and harsh in the before shot?

I'm not saying it's all trick photography but let's at least have a level playing field and make him stand in the same position, wearing the same clothes, with the same lighting and same background.  Then we can really see the difference.

Good on him if it's all real. However, if once again it's a case of Sean Macguire "5 hours in the gym every day" syndrome then once more we are being fed unrealistic and unachievable rubbish.

On a related matter, now that Natalie Cassidy has made £300,000 from her fitness DVD I see that she has gained 1.5 stones and is telling Now magazine that she never actually enjoyed being thin and is now much happier.  Funny that.  It was only a couple of months ago she was telling the Daily Mail how she felt "happier, prettier and more womanly than ever".  Obviously she had milked all the money she could from thin paparazzi shots, and is now going to take the 'i was always naturally curvy' route.  Cheers for that one, I'll be sure to pass on your encouragement to everyone sweating away in front of your DVD.
