792100 2009-07-16 00:36:00 I would like to know the thinking of people who watch the programs that are about excessively fat people,some of which put sea lions to shame.

We must assume some get pleasure from these gross lumps.

I guess it reinforces their notion that obesity is a moral issue too - which it isn't. People have a right to choose what they eat and how much (fat people pay taxes too) - and obesity documentary makers never mention that thin people with low cholesterol get heart disease and/or diabetes.

And that sir is what we have come to expect of our Deano,a total lack of discernment!

Some of them make sea lions look anorexic. No, I don't watch them, just seen some on the pre-ads.

Never saw any fat people in pictures of jap POWS.
I watch the fat people programs in awe that people would allow them selves to get that fat without doing something about it.

Oh, but they are the same in at least one way - you want to tear your eyes away because you feel embarrassed for the people - but you keep watching anyway.

792108 2009-07-16 03:32:00 Cic never can. :p

Woah edited much.

I agree though, The Office is funny and pretty easy to watch. Survivor is not in the least bit funny and it's plain painful to watch. Those programs documenting overly obese people are disgusting. It serves as a warning to people though, to never get that fat.

792109 2009-07-16 03:33:00 Yeah - just like MacDonalds forced that fat slob to eat their products.
