maybe this one...

That one pic creeps me out. It looks almost like the cop is going to have his way with Cindy.

[Echo Talon]

yep, he's actually a "celebrity" that is genuine and cares about what he does and for people. Not to many people like him left.

[rattrap]

Yeah it sounds like you heard the same interview, horrifying huh? :-)

[presidio9]

He is right on the money as far as this issue goes. There are a lot of people out there severely obese. Who cares what he does or doesn't do in his bedroom that isn't what this article is about. Unfortunately it's obvious that there are morons who can't get past that on this thread.

You can come down off your high horse now. Nobody has attacked Simmons on this thread.

So far, I've traced it back to an LAT story:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002732652_superobese11.html

But, the story doesn't reference any source whatsoever. Sounds bogus.

[Echo Talon]

I think I heard him say that on Leno or Larry King or something... I don't remember listening to him on the radio...
but it is scarry :) Richard lose the shorts and get a haircut!
hehe

[Just A Nobody]

Are you kidding me?

No! You are saying that Cindy Sheehan is fat?

[derllak]

Oh my, Digger...ummm.....she's a lotta woman! Hope you don't go broke feeding your new cow......I mean GF! Lol!

[presidio9]

"Ah wash myself with a rag on a stick..."

[digger48]

Had to lay in a BIG supply of flour to roll her in

[presidio9]

You are saying that Cindy Sheehan is fat?

I don't need to say it. The woman's got JELLY ROLLS hanging over the waist of her trousers. You are making me wonder if society isn't revising it's idea of normalcy upwards as obesity becomes the norm. Of course Cindy Sheehan is fat. So are most Americans it seems.

[najida]

I agree. I've had clients who've shown me the letters he's written encouraging them. He really does care....and he really does care helping those who others mock and damn. Which alone puts a few stars in his crown ;)

[TheForceOfOne]

Or this one. lol


(Mad TV) Lowered expectaaaaattttions.....

[JRochelle]

No pictures of Rosie?

[najida]

She's also over 50 and not in great shape. I'm not defending her but if I wouldn't diagnose her as obese. Maybe slightly overweight, but her body looks pretty much like it's supposed to look at her age.

[Dallas59]

I'd rather be happy than scared of fat...

[CajunConservative]

I'm not on a high horse, just stating the obvious that happens on every fat thread. I've been around long enough to know the juvenile antics here on certain threads.

[presidio9]

She's also over 50

Bzzzzzzzt! I'm sorry that is INCORRECT.

[JRochelle]

Grits?

Yucky.....
