It's enough to make you head for the hills – a warning that aliens are coming and they are going to gobble up fat people first.

Well, that’s if you believe the latest ad campaign from one of Britain’s biggest health clubs.

The sign was meant to encourage fat people to shed a few pounds and join a health club and spa attached to Cadbury House hotel in Bristol.

It featured a green alien and the words: ‘Advance health warning! When the aliens come, they will eat the fatties first.’

The warning will delight 20-year-old Allyson Wicklen, from Birmingham, who lost 31kg (5st) and was voted the Slimmer magazine junior slimmer of the year.

But others are less happy. ‘I am not overweight yet I find this extremely offensive,’ said Vicky Palmer, 45.

‘The people who came up with this idea and sanctioned the advert need a good stiff kick up the backside and, if that backside is a rather bony one, then they will feel this all the more,’ added the mother-of-two.

A spokesman for the Beat Eating Disorders association said people were unlikely to respond to the ad.

‘This is a very unfortunate choice of words. People get fit and healthy when they are positively motivated and are unlikely to respond to such a negative message,’ the spokesman added.

But Cadbury House hotel club manager Jason Eaton said they did not want to offend anyone.

‘It is our way to encourage people of all ages who might want to lose a few pounds and get fit to join our award-winning health club,’ he added.

But others are less happy. ‘I am (probably) overweight yet (you won't know that because I'm too big for a picture) I felt the need to get my five minutes of publicity (by saying something that is completely retarded yet will garnish a response),’ said Vicky Palmer, 45.

Fixed for accuracy. That being said, I'll be helping the aliens. They're easier to hit, and I'm lazy and inaccurate.

‘This is a very unfortunate choice of words. People get fit and healthy when they are positively motivated and are unlikely to respond to such a negative message,’ the spokesman added.

So clearly they just need to let some aliens actually eat the fatties. Then it's not a message, it's a reality.

[Koyuki]

Fuck, time to hide.

[Effluo]

I always knew this was the case. The sudden obesity epidemic was engineered by aliens. They have started to fatten up our population so we can be used as a viable food source to sustain their dying poplulation...

[toonces]

but how are fatties delicious other than to make human bacon? meat > fat.

babies going out first.

[TheShadyMan]

Apparently you have no fucking clue why meat tastes good.

[Qalbert]

good marbling and light seasoning to bring out the natural flavors

[aduidarnenye]

Over-reaction. It's obviously a joke.

Fatties that drinks beer and gets massaged like a Kobe cow huh

[Makwa]

Fuck that I'm not going down without a fight! Or a last meal.

[Atreides]

even if it means a few fatties gotta get eaten, I'd just like to have proof that aliens exist

[Xno Kappa]

Fuck yeah! Fat up fatties!

[wop]

I don't see this any different from whaling.

Harpooning whales/Spearing fatties are the same thing...for the same purpose, burn 'em = energy!

[Wizrow]

If you were planning on using them for energy wouldn't it be better to get the skinny, fit, 20somethings and make them run in a tube forever?

[Xno Kappa]

Nah, blubber is an awesome source of energy.

Anti-whaling activists have accused a Japanese vessel of ramming their high-tech speed boat during a confrontation in the Southern Ocean.

Video of the incident appeared to show the Japanese ship severely damaging the Ady Gil, but all six crew were rescued.

Earlier the campaigners - who are trying to stop Japan's whaling fleet - said they threw chemicals onto the whaling boat to prevent it being used.

The whalers said the activists tried to tangle their propeller with a rope.

'Whale war'

In recent years the two sides have regularly confronted each other in the waters around the Antarctic.

Sea Shepherd spokesman Paul Watson said the incident had turned the confrontations between the whalers and the activists into a "real whale war".

A statement on the Sea Shepherd website said a Japanese vessel that was accompanying the Nisshin Maru whaler "deliberately rammed" the Ady Gil, a high-tech speed boat that resembles a stealth bomber, shearing off its bow.

The crew of the Ady Gil, five from New Zealander and one from the Netherlands, were picked up unharmed by nearby Sea Shepherd vessel Bob Barker near Commonwealth Bay.

"The Ady Gil is believed to be sinking and chances of salvage are very grim," the Sea Shepherd statement said.

A video apparently shot from on board the Japanese vessel showed the two ships smashing into each other at speed.

The Ady Gil was swamped by waves, its nose was torn off and damage could be seen to its side.

Japan's Institute of Cetacean Research (ICR), which administers the hunt, accused Sea Shepherd of using the Ady Gil to attack its vessels.

They alleged the trimaran speedboat came dangerously close to the Nisshin Maru, trying to entangle its rudder and propeller with a rope and launching stink bombs at the vessel.

"The Sea Shepherd extremism is becoming more violent... Their actions are nothing but felonious behaviour," the (ICR) said in a statement.

Japan's fisheries agency said it was the fourth time this season that the anti-whaling activists had interfered with the whaling fleet's operations, Kyodo news agency reported.

The Sea Shepherd group sends boats to Antarctic waters each year aiming to disrupt the Japanese hunt.

Japan abandoned commercial whaling in 1986 after agreeing to a global moratorium; but international rules allow it to continue hunting under the auspices of a research programme.

Conservationists say the whaling is a cover for the sale and consumption of whale meat. Current Japanese programmes aim for a total catch of more than 1,000 whales per year.

LOL
someone sum this up for a tldr version

[toonces]

Apparently you have no fucking clue why meat tastes good.

apparently you dont know that human belly has no meat.

[Yuri-G]

goddamnit Japan. goddamnit.

is it wrong that I would support spearing fatties before I'd support harpooning whales?

the correct answer is: yes, but only because they're the same thing.

‘The people who came up with this idea and sanctioned the advert need a good stiff kick up the backside and, if that backside is a rather bony one, then they will feel this all the more,’ added the mother-of-two.

Geez, and I thought Americans were overly sensitive.

Well, to be fair, if this was in America there would be some sort of lawsuit going on so I guess they're still not as bad as us.

even if it means a few fatties gotta get eaten, I'd just like to have proof that aliens exist

I'd actually prefer if our proof of Aliens came in the form of fatties being eaten. Hopefully more than just a few.
