time ago, was on the streets of San Pablo a poster of one of the most renowned fitness chains in Brazil, with a photo of a statuesque girl and the following sentence:
"This summer do you want to be: siren or a whale? "
A woman from San Pablo (which never went beyond physical characteristics) sent this mail to the company as an answer:
"Whales are always surrounded by friends.
have an active sex life, get pregnant and have the most whale tender.
whales breastfeeding.
dolphins are friendly and they have a shrimp eating.
also play in the water and swim around, plow seas, wonderful places known as the ice of Antarctica and the coral reefs of Polynesia.
whales sing very well and even have CDs.
are huge and have almost no natural predators.
whales have a life well resolved, are loved and to have international organizations dealing with their problems.
Mermaids do not exist.
if any, would live in constant existential crisis.
"Am I a fish or a human being?", They would ask.
not have children, they kill the men who fall in love with its beauty.
and they have no where to make love.
For God's sake.
are beautiful yes, but sad always solitary. I'd rather be
whale!, If I had any doubts, and was banished.
In these times of anorexic and bulimic women, in which newspapers, magazines, film and TV, they put a force on the head that only thin is beautiful, this message brings new hope to the whale and, " Why not? ", the mermaids who do not rest one second thinking about their outward appearance.
I prefer to enjoy ice cream with the knowing smile of those who accompanied me, a glass of wine with a man who makes me vibrate and a delicious pizza with friends who love me for who I am, not how I look. "
