This 'vent' is brought to you by Sketchers Shape Ups..
While I was at work the other day, there was a woman who had this ridiculous pair of Shape Ups on. Two women walking the opposite way approached complaining about their feet. The woman is Sketchers used this opportunity to plug her beloved shoes.
"Hey you guys should buy these!"
One woman looked down and and asked, "Are they those shaping shoes?"
"Yeah! And so far I've lost 25 pounds!", she replied. The women looked so surprised. "With a diet plan?"
The woman said that she wasn't on a diet and that it was just from the shoes.
So my vent is about lazy asses falling into false hopes and sucked in by good marketing. This woman honestly believes that by just wearing these shoes she's losing weight. I'll bet you she won't go near the scale because she wants so badly to believe that this is the simple answer.
If she took the time to educate herself on healthy habits instead of eating whatever and stuffing herself into her magic shoes, she would be more successful in her endeavor.
