Curves

Let's talk FAT.

It's a sensitive subject among women. It is. If the woman asks; "Honey, do I look fat?" MEN SAY : "No, of course not.", "Baby, I love you.", "That's a really sensitive subject. Do you think you're fat?" or kiss her move the conversation away from that question. Actions speak louder than words, gentlemen.

My husband got in the doghouse over the weekend for seeing the "curvy characters" commercial on USA and then seeing the Quintiles commercial for a weight loss study and said, there you go baby, it's $4000 in compensation. Picture me looking at him, distain in my eyes. He said he was just joking, but he's one of those guys who need to warn you that they are about to say something they think is funny. What do they call that? Or yeah, dry humor. NO ONE CAN TELL WHEN YOU'RE JOKING !!!

But I am making a big deal recently about my weight. Why? When I moved up to Ontario I was an unhealthy 187 pounds. Don't ask. I was working a desk job and didn't really give a sh**. When I moved down to Missouri from Ontario (after helping out in barns the whole time up there) I was 135 pounds. It's frustrating. But you get busy, you get a desk job, you get tired, you stop caring.

USA network shows a commercial for their "character" thing of women in the spotlight who have "curves". (Paul argues that I am wrong in my rant here, but to he** with him) These are women who are technically overweight. Technically obese. Technically. I say this due to the Wii Fit. And this site: www.icb2001.com/icbBMI1.asp At almost 185 pounds I am obese. (I should be between 111 to 150 lbs) I don't feel that way. I look in the mirror and can say that I am overweight, but not obese. So, why, why would you glamourize these women? Oh yeah, to make your simple minded audience think you think that overweight folks are okay. Super skinny folks aren't, but obesity causes alot of heart issues. Super skinny folks are bound to have issues too, but why glamourize the fatties? Peeves me.

Second issue: Quiznos commercials. Toasty Torpedos. If you don't have a Quiznos and see the commercials, check out www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LQpRQh2KSQ OMGWTF?! Were the advertising people, management, the sales team or the whole freaking building on drugs? (Maybe it was ecstasy!) This is freaking disturbing! I haven't spoken to one single person at my office that find it amusing without finding it also very very gross. Yes, it's funny. But the link I've provided was actually the commercial that my brother in law saw and pointed out that the employee looks at his crotch when he said he burned! Uh, ew.

It's almost bedtime.
