Body shaming backlash fails miserably, Protein World makes a million ![http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/55408e36dd0895375f8b4573-538/beach-body-ready.jpeg](http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/55408e36dd0895375f8b4573-538/beach-body-ready.jpeg) Protein World, a little known British diet shakes and supplements company that only launched 18 months ago, apparently made around £1 million ($1.5 million) in four days after being unintentionally boosted by enormous backlash from “body shaming” campaigners over an advert. Streisand effect and all that. Their Twitter played a big role too. They more than accepted their role as a ‘villian’ and it seems it’ll pay off. There’s been a bunch of articles written how this new style of marketing is pretty much unheard of but apparently absolutely brilliant to get eyes on your product. Interesting, I think. They won’t be allowed to do a second round of the same adverts however. ![http://i.imgur.com/mdOd5SW.png](http://i.imgur.com/mdOd5SW.png) ![http://i.imgur.com/Fnbjxbv.png](http://i.imgur.com/Fnbjxbv.png) ![http://i.imgur.com/rj74Dfw.png](http://i.imgur.com/rj74Dfw.png) ![http://i.imgur.com/YtuqHcn.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/YtuqHcn.jpg) ---

Hypersensitive society mob takes to social media again. 10-15 years ago, people would walk past that billboard and think nothing of it. Now people walk past it and go “Oh, something for me to be offended about, better let everyone know they should feel offended too”. The trolling posts are pretty funny though. ---

They do it in magazines and commercials constantly. “HI I weigh 45 lbs and I’m going on a diet” To be fair that girl is 'shopped or has a pretty big eating disorder. ---
