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.

I'm willing to bet that most, if not all, of the recommendations to sue are from Americans. If you modeled for the picture, you probably signed a release allowing the photographer or company to do what they want with the picture.

You didn't know this? Did you sell your pics to a stock-photography website? This sounds fishy because they would have to use the same face for the after picture... A thinner version of it of course....

Oh Jeez Sorry OP But FYL :/ But Maybe They Can Give Discounts :D

I always wondered if the people in there actually looked like that.

yeah, this is illegal. I don't understand why people feel the desire to make things up on here.

Isn't that illegal?? Sorry I'm not really that knowledgeable in legal issues, but I'm pretty sure taking your picture without consent and using it in an advertisement is not... legal. Sue!

think if it this way. out if everyone they can possibly choose, they chose you because your special. so sry 4 u
