Oh my god... Is EVERYONE FRICKING RETARDED??? Don't answer that. I can't believe we have to "study" obesity and subject innocent creatures to our delusion. To actually find out that a pregnant mother's diet affects her unborn children... That a terrible diet and inactivity will make you obese and will cause diabetes as well as social, psychological and emotional problems. Are you telling me we didn't know this? That we DON'T KNOW THIS? WHO DOESN'T KNOW THIS??? This country is turning into a bunch of fat, dumb cows. And that's actually insulting to cows.

I'm so fucking pissed right now I want to pepper spray Cynthia McFadden and kick her right in her cooch.

The Story of Stuff Project (The link shows a 20 minute movie of the whole damn mess in a nutshell. And it's worth every second. It certainly seems discouraging and overwhelming, but the video and site also offers things you can do to stop the relentless machine. After all, like Annie says, it hasn't always been this way.)

And if the above video and information isn't enough, to show you just where we're at, putting economy (grubby, dirty money) above respect for LIFE:

Hedge Fund Manager Escapes Felony Charges Thanks to His Job

A wealthy hedge fund manager in Colorado has avoided facing felony charges for a hit-and-run accident because the local district attorney felt the charge could impact his high-paying job. Martin Erzinger, a fund manager at Smith Barney, allegedly ran over a cyclist with his Mercedes and then fled the scene. The cyclist suffered spinal cord injuries and bleeding from his brain. To the shock of cycling advocates, the local prosecutor, Mark Hurlbert, decided to charge Erzinger only with misdemeanors. Hurlbert said, “Felony convictions have some pretty serious job implications for someone in Mr. Erzinger’s profession, and that entered into it." (source)

WWHHHAATTTT????? (That's suppose to be me slamming on the brakes and rolling the car yet once again. I seem to be doing that a lot these days.)

Umm... Yeah. I think that's a compliment. But, I'm not quite sure.

Don't Call Me Fat

Cleveland Public Theatre is honored to host this world premiere, created for Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) by internationally acclaimed Turkish writer and director Ozen Yula. "Don't Call Me Fat" follows one man's grasping attempt to go from obesity to celebrity (that'll be me, bishes). Onstage in the Gordon Square Theatre from October 7 - October 30 (Paid previews on October 7 and 8; Opening Night is on Saturday, October 9).

Ozen Yula has been in residence at CPT and Cleveland State University as part of Cleveland Foundation's Creative Fusion program, a multi-year initiative that brings accomplished artists from diverse cultures to Cleveland.

Yula is one of the world's most daring, avant-garde playwrights and directors. His collected plays have been published in 5 volumes and translated into more than 10 languages, including Bosnian and Arabic. His work is characterized as dark, comical, visually daring and at the forefront of controversial issues of social justice and human rights facing our global society. His other collected works, including novels, short story collections and essays, have been printed by several publishing companies. He has written 8 books and his works have been performed around the globe.

"Don't Call Me Fat" Centers around morbidly obese John Doe (me, bishes) who can't get out of bed, yet his spiritual self flies overhead in the form of a beautiful trapeze artist. John is driven to make a dangerous decision by his hypercritical Aunt Jane and his manipulating therapist. He will undergo a radical new surgery that will make him thin or kill him, and he stumbles into world fame as a reality show star...

Featuring a strong ensemble of performers, "Don't Call Me Fat" is a darkly funny commentary on excess consumption and our need for reduction and redemption. Don't miss this visually stunning world premiere event! (source)

So, TONIGHT, I get to try on my fat suit that will be looking something like this:

The character is 700 pounds. You KNOW you want to totally tweak and gnaw on his nipples. Don't lie. Me TOO! YUM! ME FIRST! OUT OF MY WAY!!

And when he goes out? (Which he doesn't) He would need this:

Yeah... Nice. Like the ball-cap makes things better.

I tried to talk Ozen into letting me be

an obese zombie, but he was having none of it.

Actually, an obese zombie would've been more my style, but no doubt, wouldn't have enriched me at all. Oh sure, I would've been able to eat all the babies and children and small adults I wanted, but really, that would've only filled my stomach, not my spiritual growth.

Rehearsals have been challenging. Ozen and the cast have been wonderful - extremely supportive. But, the depth of the content and attempting to grasp the character has shaken me. In a good way, though. It's taken me far out of my comfort zone and that's a good thing. If I'm honest with myself, I've never really grown from something that came easy. Not really...

So, that's what I've been consumed (heh...heh... get it? "Consumed"? Heh.) with the last 6 weeks... Learning how to be a nasty, bedridden, morbidly obese person. I've been modeling the character's personality after Dickhead Cheney, Tush Limbaugh, Glenn Speck-of-Shit, Donald Dumbsfeld and Newt Dingbitch all wrapped into one. He is grotesque, after all.

Hhhooooo... No, I dint.

Ooohhh, yes I did. Now hand me that side of beef and go fry me 20 eggs and 50 pieces of bacon.
