It's saying that the pictured body types are not acceptable -- and thus backs up that the one specific body type that is nearly always shown is the only acceptable body type.
Having, via links, viewed the fat woman in rose petals and then the original from American Beauty, I think the fat woman looks sexier than the pubescent AB chick whose name is probably escaping me because I haven't had lunch.
ETA so what I was saying re: offending (or not offending) was that I don't think the ad offends men who view those 3 women as unattractively fat.
