Alright, firstly, I want to say that I LOVE "Keeping up with the Kardashians." But this is just ridiculous: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q69Igo7xcGA
Kim Kardashian is viewed as a role model these days. But with this commercial, I think she's putting forth a bad image for girls and women everywhere. Kim was never a "big girl" to begin with. For her to go out and endorse a diet pill gives off the attitude that she was overweight. Thus giving other women the feeling that they may be at unhealthy weights when they are actually not.
Another thing is that she's got two teenaged sisters. By endorsing this pill, she is also giving off a bad body image to them. I'm not saying that they are overweight in any way, but neither was Kim. Someone who has younger, more easily influenced siblings should be careful of what they publicly endorse.
Her "mom-ager," Kris also is okay with this deal. I know that if I started using diet pill, much less started endorsing them, that my mom would NOT be a happy camper.
At the end of the day, "Living the Dream" could have bad results. There are so many risks that come with taking diet pills/supplements. I would think that it would be hard for someone to know these risks yet try to get others to use a product that could end up hurting a person. So who in the whole scheme of things is actually "Living the Dream?
