Don't go getting ahead of yourself. The first priority is killing the American economy. Then the abolition of private property. Then comes the population control.

Don't worry, they'll get around to it soon enough.


Sorry. I'll pretend it is due to my impatient youth. Youth being a relative term. Thanks for straightening me out. I feel better.

Obviously, if we care about the planet, the only option is to herd all the fat people into exercise and diet camps, and kill the ones who wash out of the program.

Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population literally swells in size, a team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine says.

Will Algore need to purchase more carbon credits. Imagine the carbon footprint of that fat f$^k Michael Moore.

Can’t they just tell us what does not contribute to Global Warming, and what is not caused by Global Warming. I’m sure those are a lot shorter.

by 2015, 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese.

These are just round figures.

This stinks. I’m 6’1”, 173 pounds, and I thought I was a major emitter of carbon.

Crap, now I have to gain weight.
