do you think this anti-bulimia psa is effective?

a psa about depression from ijane inc., copyright 2003.

In this psa about anorexia's equally dangerous cousin, bulimia, Catherine Zeta-Jones speaks directly to those with the disorder. "Your problems won't go away until you stop gagging your pain. Give it a voice," she says, "Your choice." What do you think she means by that? And will it strike a chord?

    Not so much.
    It really doesn't do a whole lot for me. I agree with actively_serene. It sounds like it's a crime. Like you should be guilty about it and whatnot. And to me, that's not right. You don't want to guilt people out of their problems, because it probably won't work. It had good intentions, but failed miserably.

    that seems well intended, but just didn't get the message across. there definitely is a criminal aspect, and that's inaccurate. also, i don't know because i haven't had one, but as far as i can tell, bulimia isn't something you can just quit. also, this is sort of unrelated, but the whole thing had really odd graphics.
