Today, I saw myself on the news. I was one of the random passers by they had filmed for their story on the "Fat Epidemic." FML

Today, I discovered I am the "before picture" in an internet weight loss advert. FML
Today, while watching the morning news, I unexpectedly saw myself! Too bad I was looking puffy at a pizza buffet, loading up my plate. I have tendinitis in my arm and wrist, and the NSAIDs hadn’t kicked in yet. At least I dressed up that day, though. FML
Today, I discovered that a company has been using a photo of me for one of those "she lost 50 pounds" online ads. I'm the "before" photo. FML
Today, there was a story called "Looking Good" about fashion in school that ran in the local newspaper. On the front page of that section it featured a picture of my class. I was photoshopped out. FML
Today, one of our local news stations decided it was the perfect day to film random people at the beach. I saw myself on TV, holding hands with my side chick. I hope my girlfriend doesn’t watch the news. FML
Today, I found a picture of myself on the "People of Walmart" site. FML
Today, my friend found a picture of herself on a website filled with pictures of thin people. I was in the picture, also. I was crossed-out with the word, "EWW" written next to me. FML
Today, I was passing a building and saw a fat, ugly person inside. I started to laugh and noticed it was my reflection. FML
Today, I was walking home from the gym. I was thinking about how proud of myself I was for losing 34 pounds when someone yelled from a car window, "Look at that fat lump!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Most likely the OP simply recognized himself in the footage despite his face being blurred out or it being a body shot. Most news channels won't show too many identifying features when they're taping people in public without the subjects' knowledge -- especially on a topic like this. Probably true in this case, as well. Or so we can hope.

I don't think OP should be too worried. Think about it. Who wants to watch a news presentation on fat people?

In the US, consent is required for auudio recordings but not video. It's a little ****** up here, but the OP is from Australia, so I'm not too sure.

When I have seen news referencing fat people all you seen was fat and no face. Maybe op has a nice face.

They didn't get consent. get a good lawyer and see what bs "mental anguish" crap they can pull out of their ass for you.
