nutrisystem is a joke

i always seem to see catch more than my fair share those damn nutrisystem commercials when my insomnia is in full swing. for those who don't know, nutrisystem is diet, proven successful by ex-american-footballer dan marino+co. ('i lost 32lbs. in 28days. if i can do it so can you.' kinda thing) in which the nutrisystem organisation sends you their food and you magically watch the pounds fall off. so my obvious conclusion on the food is that no one should ever eat anything altered enough to force your body into burning fat without exercise, but that isn't why i write tonight. sweet trini pointed out to me some time ago a particular part of the female version of the commercial (women's before/after pictures combined with a catchy one-liner quote from each woman) where one of the spokeswomen says something along the lines of 'my husband loves the weight i've lost so much he calls me his trophy wife.' the negative implications of female image were immediately evident. so tonight's edition was a huge surprise when i took notice as the word 'jokingly' was added to the comment to be 'my husband loves the weight i've lost so much he jokingly calls me his trophy wife.' now i wonder how many people had to complain before appropriate action was taken. probably too many, but i guess the point is that the issue was acknowledged and dealt with, right?
