Spanish website promoting anorexia banned
WTF??
There really are some sick people out there. As if girls don't already see enough images promoting unhealthy thinness...
Spanish authorities have banned an internet site which was about to run a competition for young women suffering from anorexia.
...The [Porcelain Princesses] competition, which would have run for a fortnight from January 13, offered points to those reducing their calorie intake to a minimum, with starvation rations of 50-150 calories a day worth nine points while "the honour of a podium placing" and a maximum ten points was offered for not eating all day.
Prior to its closure the website said in a disclaimer it advised visitors to "not follow" advice they might read there.
