According to a recent study, roughly a third of all Americans are obese. That’s really good to know…too bad that story first broke like 20 years ago. It’s become something of a cliché now for news publications and news broadcasters to wag their admonishing finger at the fat people of America. If you watch the news on a regular basis, you’ll notice they run this kind of story about once every four months. We get it already—we’re a bunch of fat, lazy sloths. What’s even more bothersome is the way these broadcasters choose to report this story. Invariably, they always show footage of big people walking down the street. The picture is always from the neck down, to preserve the people’s anonymity. Regardless, it’s still a character assassination of sorts. The editors barrage your television screen with countless consecutive images of bouncing bellies, chafing thighs, and fat, waddling asses. That, i think, is beyond rude. How would you like it if you came home one day, sat down to watch the news, and you saw footage of your own fat ass staring back at you? I think that’s a question we should all ask ourselves. Me? I’d probably change the channel to the Cartoon Network and laugh my jolly ass off. Sticks and stones, my friends.
