When I’m looking at these images, I see two large Barbies are doing the same thing we do when we are at home: watching TV and chatting online with friends. These pictures might try to tell all teenagers or children, “Get up! And do something!” Also, the message might be that they should go out and exercise or study; otherwise, they will turn themselves into a fat Barbie like the images! It doesn’t matter that they are cute Barbies or handsome Supermen they eventually can turn into ugly ones.
Yes! These ads also make young people want to be thin. We all see that most famous people are thin and look good from head to toe (like Angelina Jolie). This could perhaps be a reason why we want to look thin, to look like celebrities.
When I went back to Thailand, my friends said to me that I looked fat. I told them, “You guys want me to look like a skeleton that can walk or something? I like the way I am.” And they didn't say anything back to me.
This is an example that all my friends in Thailand grew up knowing that you can never be thin enough and being fat is the worst thing.

That's truth these ads are not good for young people because then they start wanting to be thin and doing diets that only cause them health problems. Instead of motivationg people to do execise and to eat healthy food, these ads are only creating depression and stress. I don't think it is the right was to show those pictures of the barbie and superman fat because children would even consider that if their superheroes are fat, then it is normal to be fat. These ads might help parents, so they can start doing something for the welfare of their children.
