Following his “massive” coronary heart assault final yr, Kevin Smith misplaced over 50 kilos and have become an envoy for Weight Watchers. He didn’t, nevertheless, do Keto, regardless of what a web based commercial claims. The Jay and Silent Bob Reboot director and star took to his Instagram to name out a pretend advert, exhibiting before-and-after photographs of Smith, that finally results in a phishing web site.

“PHISHING PHUCKERS! This image and the click-through link is being posted to folks’ [Facebook] pages WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! The link attached to the stolen image that I posted on [Instagram] last year leads to a phishing site, so DO NOT CLICK! This ad is pure bullshit,” he wrote. “I never did Keto: to lose weight after my heart attack, I went Vegan and then joined [Weight Watchers].”

The advert attributes a quote to Smith — “No, I didn’t need to exercise every day. I’ve always liked to jog every few days, but I didn’t. The only thing I did was took these pills” — which, as he notes, is grammatically incorrect and “fabricated as I’ve *never* jogged and the only pills I take are heart-related prescriptions mandated by my cardiologist… Don’t believe anybody trying to sell you on a weight loss pill, whether using my image and a fake pull quote or not.” Smith in contrast his expertise to when Homer Simpson “found that Mr. Sparkle box.”

To be truthful to the pretend advert (see it right here), no less than it picked an iconic picture.
