Title: Obese TV shows
Post by: natural al on November 29, 2007, 05:32:44 AM
y'know, I was flipping threw the channels last night and I came across this show on discovery health about an obesity clinic in new york-I think it was new york anyway.  My God....

one dude was 27 and weighed about 565 lbs, he's already had 2 heart attacks and was mr. bad attitude...

they show the other guy cramming 3 hotdogs down his throat and worried that he's gonna die if he can't get back into the clinic and his wife is all stressed out-she's obese as well and they show her just caking butter on some white bread.....

I just can't believe the shit they have on TV these days.

Why don't strongmen use obese people in their events? Fatty rolling, DLing them off a couch, loading them onto super-wide beds, etc. At least they'll be somewhat useful then.

"she's obese as well and they show her just caking butter on some white bread....."

For some reason, I had a mental image of a gross, obese lady spreading a lot of butter on white bread and it made me vomit in my mouth a little lol....  :-\

Problem is you can't say too many bad things about fat people because they are the majority now.  Fast food chains and grocery stores need these people for profit so they won't change their ways.  Fat people now call this shit an addiciton or a disease.  They blame everyone else but themselves.

The lack of willpower disgusts me.

true.  TWO THIRDS of americans are obese.  It's like the Fall of the Roman Empire when Romans used to binge and throw up.

Society let's it happen, go to Europe, you'll barely see any fat people, let alone obese.. food is expensive there, maybe the Yanks should learn from this :)

What's sad it that the Nintendo WII was truly invented so that heavy kids get at least a little exercise...
