An advert for one of Britain’s biggest gyms has sparked outrage by declaring: ‘When the aliens come, they will eat the fatties first.’
The campaign, featuring a little green man, was meant to encourage people to join up and shed pounds put on over Christmas.
But instead slimmers have branded the ad in offensive and weight loss experts said the ‘negative message’ is more likely to drive people away.
Signs put up near the health club and spa at Cadbury House Hotel in Congresbury, Bristol, read: ‘Advance health warning! When the aliens come, they will eat the fatties first.’

I really dont see whats so offensive about that... now fat people are a protected species too? PC is going overboard.
Don’t worry, they’ll eat the humorless second.
Aww it will be ok. We can feed the aliens the people with AIDS first. I bet the aliens would pack up and leave pretty quick.
Sorry, it’s BS. As a fatty, I can tell you that we’re gonna’ save your skinny behinds because WE’re gonna’ EAT THE ALIENS before they can eat you.
;-)
To the offended and overly concerned and feeling types: Be fat disgusting pigs; enjoy the free pig care of your government sponsored services. Let the government tell you when you too fat and disgusting then tell you you’re a fat disgusting pig and burden upon society, you’ll figure it out! Oh, and by the way have you ever noticed that the fat and disgusting are not promoted as healthy, fashionable or mainstream…there is a reason for that…your fat and disgusting and in some cases ugly. This may be the only good reason for government sponsored healthcare, for the government will treat them as if they lived in Stalin’s Russia.
Good post...LOL
;-)
Not if they’re dieting.

That precise, same ad ran here in New Zealand. I thought it was funny. Nobody seemed to mind at all.
Maybe it’s because there aren’t as many fat people in NZ. LOL!
LOL! - that’s hilarious! (from a fellow fatty!)
LOL!
Besides, the aliens might prefer lean meat. If so, I’m safe!
Them skinny little green turds with the big, bulging eyes?
Got news for ya. Don’t look like they been chowin down on Queen Latifah or something...
“It’s a cookbook!”
Strait out of Zombieland!
Some who have tasted it describe it as “long pig”.
Surprising how many qualities in addition to flavor that humans share with the porcine group.
And I just bought a pound of bacon today to have with breakfast, and now I’m starting to think corned beef hash might be the better choice...
