"A plastic surgeon&amp;#039;s body-shaming billboard was vandalized with a more positive message over the weekend in Ann Arbor, Michigan [via The Independent]. The billboard, above, reads, &amp;quot;Friends don&amp;#039;t let friends muffin top,&amp;quot; before the words, &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re beautiful!&amp;quot; were spray-painted over it.  The practice put the billboard up in May and, after facing online criticism, released a statement on its Facebook page saying, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s simply to get people to chuckle. Try to see the lighter side of this ad.&amp;quot; This isn&amp;#039;t the first time its ads have been called out for body-shaming.   In April, the practice took down another billboard that said &amp;quot;Size Matters,&amp;quot; referencing a woman&amp;#039;s cup size, after complaints from Facebook fans and community members. In a statement issued on its Facebook page, it apologized for offending anyone and said it would replace the billboard with a new one.  The practice&amp;#039;s new billboard turned out to be the muffin-top advertisement. And if the vandalism is any sign, it doesn&amp;#039;t seem as if residents approve of the new billboard any more than the last one. Follow Kate on Twitter.
