German, Hamburg-based advertising agency Kolle Rebbe has come up with a series of funny print advertisement for fitness center Kingdom of Sports entitled ‘Fat Can’t Hide’. The ads feature three obese men who have a fanny pack, a sack of cement and a lifesaver float painted over their midsections in hilariously unsuccessful attempts to hide their fats. The message is simple, “work it out, work it off” at the Kingdom of Sports.

To silence the button, you have to press it. They tested it on around 30 people of varied ages over a period of six months.
