Too Many Fatties

There was a tremor in San Diego yesterday. Not the kind that comes from deep in the earth's core, but the kind that comes from the beefy decending on a community. The NBC show "The Biggest Loser" was supposed to hold auditions for the next season of their show at a Dave and Buster's in San Diego. After about 1000 plumpers waddled on to the premises, the restaurant cancelled the auditions.

The restaurant claimed that the show's producers hadn't provided enough security or outdoor bathrooms and that it had created an unnsafe enviroment. Let's face it. They just didn't want a fistful of fatties ruining the appetites of the paying customers. The sight of the morbidly obese queing up for a shot at national television humiliation is enough to put anyone off their chicken fingers. As for the outdoor bathrooms, I see their point . I can't imagine what it would be like to see legions of tubbies, their elastic waist pants around their ankles, trying to rid themselves of the 18 slim fast bars they ate for their "healthy" breakfast, squatting behind the shrubbery.

I've seen a few episodes of the show, and the results are amazing. I gotta say though, I'd have those results too if I were sequestered in a compound with other eating machines and being trained by a hottie like the one on the show.

As a side bar, I have to give a shoutout to Panera Bread. They have free wireless internet which is making today's post possible. They also have great food and free refills on their coffee. I encourage anyone reading this to patronize them. Then we can all stuff ourselves silly and go join the misshapen in an attempt to get on TV. Have a good weekend. Later...Brian
