 Subject: RE: Obesity shows comming our wayI haven't had cable since about 1996 and every time I see what's showing from someone else's TV it reminds me why I really don't need to watch what they're showing. Turn the TV off and go play  |

Does watching a specific television show with fat/skinny/addicted character mean that you are perpetuating that lifestyle? Does me watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia mean that I support becoming a crackhead to get welfare, or eating cat food to sleep through the night, or stalking waitresses? I'd love to know which shows you watch, to see which lifestyles you agree with perpetuating. If you didn't get the sarcasm, I am SURE you aren't railing against other shows that don't show all the consequences of whatever actions the skinny characters take. So what is it about fat people that bothers you, exactly? In a word: yes. You are shallow. I was trying to say yes you are shallow...with examples, but you nailed it. |

Champion 6046  New York, NY | Subject: RE: Obesity shows comming our way I have no issue with showing stupid behaviours on tv BUT the ads for the show HUGE go way beyond that - it is clearly a show to help accept obesity - and I think that is just wrong. |

Veteran 1097 Elizabethtown, KY | Subject: RE: Obesity shows comming our way Sorry . . . but this is the quote of the week: "i watch true blood on sundays with my mom as family time" I always thought the orgy scenes could be real bonding moments. |

The show they are reffering to seems to glorify fat kids going to fat camp to lose weight. |
