"More Than One in Four American Adults Now Obese"
This really doesn't bode well for the future of America...
Why is it that whenever they show show a fat person in the media they are:
a) Always alone or shot in some way to seem like an outcast?
b) Always eating something and it's usually take-out or fast food of some kind?
c) The photo is taken at the most cruel angles in order to get the maximum fat roll content?
I thought these statements were interesting:
"Why is the South so heavy? The traditional Southern diet — high in fat and fried food — may be part of the answer..."
"The South also has a large concentration of rural residents and black women — two groups that tend to have higher obesity rates..."
"In today's America, poor people tend to be obese: The cheapest foods tend to be calorie-heavy, and stores offering healthier, and more expensive, food choices often are not found in poor neighborhoods..."
I can hear Al Sharpton's computer keyboard clicking away constructing his next public outcry of racism and demonization of the southern black community. Actually, I would lean towards agreeing with him. While the statistics are probably true, taken in context, I think they are a little biased.
In relation to the number of black people that are in the south, the rates of obesity are higher yes, but the overall number of fat black women compared to fat white women is most likely significantly lower. So, I ask, what's their excuse. They say that the blacks are fat because of basically "fried food and no money to buy healthier items", so what's the reason for fat white folk? If they have the stores with the healthy food and the money to buy it, why the hell are they busting at the seems also?
Seems to me that the reason that everyone is fat is because we stuff our faces with crap and are to lazy to work it off. That's why I gained some poundage. Not because I'm "poor" (who isn't really nowadays) or "ethnic", it's because I got lazy and decided that I wanted a pizza and some beer rather than that grilled chicken salad and iced tea. Simple as that.
So what do we need to do to overcome this? Get the fuck off the couch, put down the fork and get to running or some other activity that sucks ass but slims you down. I have actually started to go back to the gym and have now logged 9 miles on the elliptical trainer in the past 3 days. Not where I was when I started the pizza diet but definitely above my expectations. When I get back to 4 miles a day and lifting weights again, I will be happy with the effort.
And it does get easier as you go along, as cliched as that may sound. You just have to suffer for a bit to reap the reward... and suffer I am right now...

Redux: No Tears Shed Here...
"'TIPSY' DETECTIVE BACK ON THE JOB: 'PROUD' COMMISH IN FLIP ON 'OFF-DUTY SHOOT' SLAP"
As I wrote about previously, I think this cop was a hero for doing what he did.
I'm kind of surprised that they reversed their decision so quickly. Someone over there has a brain...Thankfully...

"Women arrested in sex competition"
Finally a sport that I could feasibly get into!
So, my first question would be: How much was the first place prize worth? And my second question is: How much time would I get to "practice"?
You know these were stupid college girls all drunk on holiday getting loud and obnoxious in a bar. The bar owners probably saw an "in" when one of them most likely got on the bar and started to drop cloth and the idea was probably born at that time.
Ah, the memories of college life come flying back. The late night parties. The enormous amounts of booze and cigarettes. The vomitous climax after crawling back to the dorm. Good times, good times...

"'Beast' Man Jailed for Possessing 31,000 Animal Porn Images"
This is a little unsettling...
Well, it's a little unsettling because I've basically seen images of everything but the tiger myself. Most of this shit comes out of Japan! They really like their animal and scat porn over there.
Ewww, the internet is a dirty little world I tell ya, LOL...

Daddy, Not Tonight I Have Tooth Ache From My Pacifier...
"World's Greatest Dad' Arrested As Predator"
How gross to find out your dad or husband was doing this behind your back...
LOL! Nothing like having your professionally taken picture plastered all over the place with that shirt on for a child sex sting. I'm sure his whole neighborhood is now checking email and phone records of their chillin's.
When are these assholes going to realize that YOU DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO, NEVER, NO WAY!!!!

"Barenaked Ladies singer arrested"
It's been One Week since you snorted with me..
That's disappointing. I always saw him as a heroin addict and not a coke addict.
The title of their children's CD should be renamed "Cracktime" instead of "Snacktime"...

"I'm Not Lovin' It: Hearing Impaired Woman Sues McDonald's Over Refusal to Use Drive-Thru"
Another frivolous lawsuit...
Well, this one is so ridiculous I don't know where to start first of all, if you are feeding your kids fucking fast food all the time you need to be slapped upside the head.
The article states that on 3 occasions this particular Mickey D's did not "accommodate" her and "Other McDonald's restaurants in Lincoln have accommodated Tumeh, Mora James said." She also states that "other drive-thru, fast-food restaurants have a policy to allow deaf and hard-of-hearing people to order at the drive-thru window.", implying that she has been through these before and has first hand knowledge of their practices. Stay at home and cook a healthy meal for your autistic children you idiot. I go to McDonalds probably 3 times a year and that's out of sheer desperation for leaving my lunch at home or having been forced to while traveling...
Secondly, if your too lazy to get the fuck out of the car and go inside, regardless of your children's issues, then again STAY HOME! Why should the rest of society cow toe to you because you got dealt some shitty cards in the game of life? Recent studies have shown a child's nutritional intake can affect their physical and mental state and may lead to things such as autism. How about spending time researching your child's issues instead of wasting time suing others over stupid shit.
Here's the reason why they won't let her order at the window. When you place an order at a drive-thru, your order is automatically put in a queue and made in the order that they are placed. In theory, if you are the 3rd person in a line your order will be made third. This helps the employee keep track of who has what and keeps the line moving.
If you order at the window, this fucks up the whole queue and then your order has to be put in front of all the rest and, in essence, the rest of the people's food, which may or may not be on the grill at that time (ready to come off) will get cold leading to complaints and orders having to be remade. What does this equal?- Wasted food, as those items will get trashed because they are not up to standard and will also lead to wasted profits as the money spent on that order is literally "thrown away" and more money wasted as new product has to be used. Not to mention, you have basically caused everyone behind you to wait longer because your ass had to order at the window and couldn't just walk in, basically defeating the purpose of a "FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU". Hence the term FAST...
Also, if the other Mikey D's accommodated her, I would like to know at what time of the day was that specifically? How many cars were there in line? How many orders were there at the time? If there were none, it wouldn't be a problem. Also, at what locations? Some locations have less business than others and can be far less busy and have the time to do so for the deaf woman.
McDonalds theoretically could have helped her but the question is at what cost would that have been to do so? I see 2 solutions to this issue if you absolutely HAVE TO go to Mc's to feed your kids:
1) Write the order down before you go to the restaurant and walk in and give it to the cashier at the front counter. This speeds up the order process for both of you and you spend less time having to wrangle your kids up at the counter. You can sit and wait while the order is being processed and everyone's happy.
2) If you absolutely have to order at the window, do so and you'll have to park your ass in a parking space and wait while that order comes up in the system. That way people behind you are still getting theirs made in a timely fashion and able to physically receive those orders in the window and wouldn't have to wait while your is being processed while their Big Macs are sitting in a bag waiting for you to move your ass from the window. I'm sure they probably gave her this option and it would be interesting to see if she turned that down and refused to park.
Either way, it's a stupid lawsuit. The next thing that will happen is that restaurants will get sued for not having someone at the window who understands every fucking foreign language thereby making the ordering process racist and exclusionary...

"TRIGGER COP WAS 'LOADED': FAILS 'BELL' BOOZE TEST"
Why are we even questioning this?
As far as I'm concerned, the creep got was was coming to him.
First of all, there is no fucking reason you should be schlocking a Tech-9 around other than you are out looking for trouble.
Secondly, the guys a hero for taking out this douchebag. Had he not shot the guy, he most likely would have killed someone and then the cop would have been blamed for not taking action.
Thirdly, fuck these thugs, they get what is coming to them.
Perfect example why we don't need guns on the street...

Ha ha ha! Now this is my kind of woman...
If you have an 8 month old child the last thing you need to be spending money on is crack dumb ass! He was probably supposed to go out and buy pampers and instead he came back with stones. The piece de resistance of the whole event was the domestic violence pamphlet that was left at the scene of the crime.
If I had the money, I would totally bail this chick out and pay for her lawyer, but I don't so it's a moot point...

Who Ordered The Microwaveable Rat In A Bag Special?...
"Wisconsin Woman Accused of Planting Dead Rat in Own Food"
What a nutcase...
Everyone knows that if your are going to plant a rodent in your food, you sure as hell better use a field mouse and not a white lab right you stupid idiot!
I think that her punishment should be to actually eat the rat, tail and all, exactly as she had planted it in her food. Maybe we could televise it also or simply make a new reality show about extortionist crime or stupid criminals in which the punishments are dealt out before a live studio audience. Probably be better than most of the dreck that's out there now...

Fat Guy In Little Coat...
Ever see these buffaloes in those Hoover Round scooters who are so enormous, they can't even walk anymore and simply live in one of these things? Well, we have one here in our building, and she's a bitch extraordinaire.
So, I'm at my usual morning haunt, A Bunch of Pain, and I see Miss Universe (I call her that because she thinks the world revolves around her) sitting in front of the cookie/brownie display case looking all pissed off. From previous experience and run ins, I make it a point to totally AVOID her ass as she has intentionally run over my foot once before after I asked her to "please scoot over" in the elevator lobby as she was literally blocking the fucking entryway, but I digress...
Anyway, I grab my bagel after some maneuvering as she is right next to the poppy seeds and get in line. Meanwhile she is thumbing through the case looking for what, I assume, is the perfect cookie. As I am being rung up, she makes it a point to rip the poor girl a new butthole because the cookies have now gotten smaller, or so she believes they have, over the past year and she feels she's entitled to a "free" few (not one but a few). The girl is telling her that she is sorry, but she can't do that and the woman grabs her bag of cookies (she actually purchased about 4 or 5) and speeds off into the sunset griping.
The whole time I am thinking what a total lonely bitch this woman must be. She is seriously off putting, as displayed by her demeanor towards others, and the fact that she uses that GD chair as a weapon certainly doesn't help her cause either. Sad. I'm surprised that engine has held up this long. I remember her screaming at someone once that she was "handicapped" and the person said, "No, you're just fat!"...

Who Knew...
Who knew the worst toilet in a row of restroom stalls was the middle seat!
I guess I need to remember to use the other toilets in a bathroom other than the one in the middle. Interesting, I wish the article said why. It's kind of funny to me as the last toilet in a row seems to be the busiest, at least in restrooms that I have been in...
Afterthought: (that last line just sounded wrong after reading this again!)

"Woah 'Mamma' ... Gay Crowd Snubbed?"
Totally ridiculous...
Alright, something has to be said about this crap.
I AM SO TIRED of people shoving gayness up in everyone's face. This doesn't make you any less of a human or better of one.
I AM SO TIRED of non-gay people threatening to kill the gays because they can't get married. Just let gays get married and they'll most likely shut the fuck up. What do you care anyway? Is there some secret list of marriages that you are keeping in your well fortified safe that you have to keep tabs on? Are you trying to save the planet by not having as many flowers slashed down because of an overflow of weddings that may or may not happen? Does the fact that the little grooms and brides that go on top of a cake will now have to be sold separately bother you?
I AM SO TIRED every time something such as this "snub" happens it's because "we're gay". No, it's not because you are gay but if you keep this shit up, it will be. Nobody likes to go to parties where the hosts are crybaby assholes. Just keep that in mind...
HELLO! The damn movie isn't even gay themed! Just because us fags like ABBA and that the music of ABBA just happens to be the tie throughout a movie doesn't mean that said movie is automatically "gay"! Get a life fellow faggots.
Sometimes I feel embarrassed of the gay community because we get caught up in such ridiculous drama. So the people didn't show up to the opening. WHO THE HELL CARES! Maybe they didn't feel like working that day. Have you ever woke up and said, "Oh screw it, I'm calling out today."? We have all done it at some point in life and who are we to judge someone else for doing the same thing?
Get over it and move on...

"Desk rage spoils workplace for many Americans"
Maybe that donut from the parking garage this morning has this so-called "Desk Rage".
I have actually seen quite a few people lose their shit at work in my lifetime. Of course, you never see them again, but at least you got a good show before the ax fell.
