Weight Watchers can afford to pay my dues.

I have a boomer question complaint: If over 35% of the population is overweight and if Weight Watchers can afford $3 million to pay Jessica Simpson for losing her pregnancy weight, then why in the hell do I have to pay a membership fee??  According to a report from two years ago, Weight Watchers spends over $90 million a year on advertising, which I'm sure is way more than that now.  


Weight Watchers charges the poor working class public $52 per month to be a member--oh, by the way, they will wave registration fees on occasion.  Big Deal.  Let's see, $52 divides into 3M  approximately 57692.3 times.  That would certainly help make many people happy, or rather many people skinny.   Advertisers think the public is eager and excited to buy something just because some overpaid celebrity endorses it.      

 There are rumors that Jessica Simpson padded herself to look fatter than she actually was while pregnant, so she could easily make herself appear slimmer after her baby was born.  We observers would then think the baby weight is just melting off her, all because she is now on the Weight Watchers plan.    Has anyone noticed how Jessica Simpson is really making a killing off this baby of hers? Now, on top of the $3M from Weight Watchers, she is getting  $800,000 for baby pictures. 

 American people, the ones making minimum wage, and having to work 2-3 jobs to feed our families, (that is if you can find a job), are supporting this nonsense.  Stop buying into it.  Advertisers stop overpaying celebrities to advertise your brand, cut your prices to make products more affordable to the working American public.  You know, the ones with REAL jobs.
