I was watching MTV2 a few minutes ago and saw an ad that I thought was very amusing. It was for a fitness video called "Belly Dancing for Fitness." According to the ad, Veena and Neena will help you "unlock the ancient secrets of belly dancing, and get the body you always dreamed of." Further, according to one of the ad's testimonials, after watching this video "your hips will shout 'hallelujah.'"
This bothers me a bit. Imagine an overweight person. Now imagine that person doing a belly dance. Do you see why this scares me? This is the last thing I ever want to see.
