Today, I discovered I am the "before picture" in an internet weight loss advert. FML

So you're the "before", but not the "after"? Are you trying to tell me... that an internet advertiser is making false claims?!

Using your picture without your consent is most likely illegal.

Silly Americans. Why do you always want to sue over the smallest things(and yes I am American I just don't understand why we sue for everything).

Marinus, I'm stealing your pic and using it to advertise a gay dating site, but im sure youll be alright with it since you're not American. What was that stereotype about America being the fattest country? Oh right, it's actually Australia... Guess not all stereotypes are true.

I didn't say he shouldn't sue. I just knew that the person to bring up suing would be American. It jut seems like the first instinct they have is to sue. As for Australia being the fattest country, I believe you may be correct.

Again, unless you explicitly change your Privacy Settings to "Don't Allow", it's completely legal for third-party advertisers to use your images...

If you don't want to see yourself like that again, don't go on the website. Go ahead continue lying to yourself. Surf! You're in Australia.

Well, if you are using their program, GOOD FOR YOU!! IF you are using their services/products, and you stick with it, and you get a slimmer, trimmer, hotter you, then BRAVO!! Seriously!! There's nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. You can point to that and say, "I did it! That is not me anymore!" Still, I don't like the illegality of them using your image without your consent. That's low down and shady.

if they have to use a false picture the products probably don't work

Those "Before & After" ads are schemes. they are -never- the same person.

You could always try and see if you could make the "after" picture :)

It's because your level of intelligence surpasses anything these kids have read off the cereal box. No sarcasm.

EXACTLY! "Opt Outing" in your Privacy Settings is the only sure-fire way to prevent it from happening!!! =D
