awwww... poor chick...

I'm really tired of the PC treatment (and sympathy for) fatties. It's simple: PUT THE FUCKING CHEESEBURGER DOWN!!!

Yeah, that probably sounds really cruel to the fat sensitive people reading this rant. I've BEEN sick of society softening up over things that are completely controlable (boozers, junkies, fatties). No one is notified (via Public Service Announcement) each time you ELECT to get extra cheese and sour cream on those nachos, so don't come crying when when you can no longer tie your damn shoes!

My opinion is validated by experience. When I found myself getting chunky, I did something about it before it got out of hand. Everyone's standards are different (for me, "out of hand" is anything bigger than a size 6). We're all responsible for taking ownership of our fundamental lifestyles. I've got bigger issues to be worried about, other than some WHALE ASS!

I work in healthcare, and this is a topic that comes up frequently. There are very few obesity issues that cannot be treated with proper care, nutrition and education. Getting all that, sometimes, is where the problem lies for some. Otherwise, put the fork down.....Look at like this: if you have to go to the zoo to get your MRI, it's time to think about a diet.

Most of the equipment in my facility can't handle 500+ pounds, meaning obese patients can't even get a diagnostic xray for their knee or back pain. And the physicians usually don't bother to tell obese patients this little fact; only that obesity puts them at risk for stroke, diabetes, heart disease.

I do truly understand that weight loss is hard for some people, but I agree with you CLC-08, some responsibility is in order as well.

You may have just cost us all votes from Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and half the female population that feel that they are overweight.
I'm thinking a "Road to the Whitehouse sensitivity training" may be in order.
E- I'll put you in charge of that one.

I do think that may be an issue that my first lady can push. Nancy Reagan pushed the "Just Say No" thing.
So my first lady Echo can push "Tub O Goo You tie YO Shoe!" or "A body like Dave for ladies to Crave" I don't know something like that. He can visit schools and Town Hall meetings, and Talk with fast food execs about changing menus. Together we can all conquer Fatness!
I'm not really in the know on what how big or small a size six is, I grew up in a family of all boys so you'll have to set the Naziterial standard on the Ladies.

I don't know if we really want to go so far as changing our standards from an "L.A. face with an Oakland Booty" to "L.A. face with a Tiwaneese Booty" So I'll mull that one over before I make any concrete decisions.

Dave. I'm sorry, but sometimes the truth hurts. Your statement is indicative of what I've been saying all along. We're becoming a nation of FRUITY PIES!! This is why your campaign is critical to getting everyone back on track.

E - Dude, we (or I) don't need 'sensitivity training', we need 'DE-SENSITIVITY training'. Give American's their nutts back!

[insert patriotic music here]

Give our children an example of leaders. I don't pig out at the buffet as an adult, because I was taught to (get this) STOP EATING WHEN I BECAME FULL! What's insensitive about that?

Let's save our sensitivity for the real folks who need it like children who are born with 12 chromosomes, or Detroit Pistons fans.

If I offended Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana - I'm sorry. All I'm saying is that there's always work to be done that doesn't require a remote control and meth. Get active in your communities! Turn off the television and paint that trailer. Give the dog a bath. Take some of those clothes off the line, and pick up the beer cans. You can TiVo Jerry Springer folks. Little Bubba is coming into manhood, and the chickens are getting nervous.

(There Dave. Are you happy? I said sorry.)

Dave, I'm not sure I'd be the best spokesman for weight loss. I'm not obese by any stretch of the imagination, I'm actually quite the opposite. I'm a toothpick, scared of light breezes, afraid of falling through sewer grates. Putting me in front of people and telling them they need to lose weight will undoubtedly turn me into that day's appetizer.

Oh yeah Alli (or however it's spelled), that pill? I read about it when it first came out, and was floored by the high demand. I think it was something like if you lined up all the 18-wheelers that were scheduled to deliver to stores, it would equate to something like a line several miles long or something (I don't know the exact length, but it was something incredibly ridiculous). Stores were selling out before it hit the shelves.

Enjoy your chili Baierman. Be careful though, you may have just offended some South American group that's moving to change the name of what you're eating to something "a little less offensive".

this is beautiful. i didn't expect the ending. where is this PSA airing?

I like the way you apologise. Kind of an apology as your foot connects to the mid section. Our theme: "America-Get some nuts or get out." I like that.
I am however today feeling quite mello and un-angry. I think a lady slipped me a rufie at the gas station this morning. Normally one rufie doesn't do anything to me due to an acquired high tolerance, but I think my secretary just slipped me one too. Hell, it could have come from anywhere.

Echo-Glad to hear you are on board baby. (Just kidding, that made me sick just typing it.) I think you would be a perfect spoksman for skinny. You are creative. Just make up a story of how you Helped inpire Jared from Subway.

Baierman-
I think Pringles still have an Olestra product out there. I'll have to check into that. Nothing like picking up a bag of chip and still eating them while you read about the explosive diarhea you are about to incurr.
Bet they don't have that shit in England.

Dave - Your secretary is trying to kill you. Oh by the way, we're saying Administrative Assistant now. Secretary is offensive to secretaries... which may be why she's trying to kill you.

I thought we were trying to get away from that PC crap. Plus if she were trying to kill me I think she'd be slipping me cyanide not rufies.

We are trying to get away from that PC crap. I don't think my sarcasm was clear in my last post. I'll have to get better about that.

The thought of ANYONE slipping you ANYTHING leaves you wide open for assasination. How are you coming along with hiring Secret Service Agents, by the way?

I think I'll hold off on the Secret Service for now. I may employ the likes of Leonardo Carvallo and some of his hired thugs for a little help as the election nears. But for now, I not worried about anyone infiltrating the ranch. I am an excellent marksman and feel quite confident in my fighting abilities.
Plus I'll pay the Reverend Wright to say a protective prayer over my life.

Good plan. I'm not a bad shot either, so I've got your back buddy (those Terantino movies paid off).

eheheheheh
arrrigh arright takiteeazzy,

i really didnt see it comin, but lookin back, i realize it does deal alot with images, i thought it was like some awareness commercial for some russian plight of some sort, i knew it was a charity. i didnt, but i can imagine some people laffing at the end of this cause its just outta no where, isnt it? i dunno, but this might be heading for some major spoofage, the internets have done worse

haha, all i know is some of it might be genes(cause i eat nonstop and never get much excercise and im skinny, altho all i eat is good homemade food, not junky or fast food, so i guess that helps, and i was taught basic health and hygiene from my parents, i mean i once was fat, but i did like 12 sit ups and it dissappeared, that was awesome.
so we cant really ignore good responsible eating and excercise, regardless of how much the biological odds are against you, ya still gotta try yer best.

i dont think we really need our nuts back, i think we gottem, i think we need a more developed spine, ya dig? when to say no to whats bad for us, works wonders, i say.

disregard pc, its okay to get angry

the look of the video is great, the message? i just dont care.

Dave also the services of the witch doctor and perhaps Joe Pesci. for security The Nigth Cobra problem is that his call light with cobra ready to strike kinda looks like an erect penis.

Like notjohndoe2, I'm skinny to the bone although I eat a lot (not like a pig, but until I'm satisfied), but I eat food. Snacks only once in a while.

But genes helps me too.

And I totally agree... cut the crap on the PC talking. Some people need to listen hard words to learn the lesson.

A friend of mine was 1 pizza slice of not going through her house's door, and her MD said that she had to choose: stay eating like a pig being prepared to Christmas or stop that crap and see her daughter grow up. Because she would not last long enough too see her daughter leave the elementary school. She cried for 2 weeks or so, but the hard talking worked just fine. After she recovered from the hurt feelings, she got back to the doctors office and started a treatment. She's fine now.

So, what I think is that if you still being do PC, talking so softly to not hurt their feelings, you are somehow helping to dig that persons grave.

I gained weight last year after becoming sick and went from a size 4 to a size 12. I was upset and vowed to be back into a single digit size by the time my 30th birthday rolled around, which was the 17th. I lost 25 pounds this summer by cutting out the carbs and working out religiously. I made it to a size 8!! On Friday, before I left, I tried on my size 6 jeans. I got them over my ass and I could almost button them. Mission accomplished bitches! I'm going to continue to work out and diet so I can comfortably fit into a size 6. Being 5'10" I shouldn't go further than that because I'll look gaunt.
