Ricky Gervais Hates Fatties
In Ricky Gervais' new comedy audiobook, he jokes that fat asses who get lipo and the gastric bypass surgery are "lazy fat pigs." Karl Lagerfeld just fell in love (see below).
Ricky said, "If your arse is too fucking fat, stop eating and go for a run." The Telegraph said Ricky was attacking overweight people. He responded to this on his own blog by saying he will never stop the fat jokes until doctors prove that being a member of the chunk club is something you're born with. Has Ricky never heard of the fat gene?! Anyway, here's what he had to say:
I heard someone on the radio once say that they were tired of the prejudice aimed at the overweight. They said something like "you're not allowed to make fun of gay people, so why are you allowed to make fun of fat people? It's the same thing."It's not the same thing though, is it? Gay people are born that way. They didn't work at becoming gay. Fat people became fat because they would rather be that way than stop eating so much. They had to eat and eat to get fat. Then, when they were fat they had to keep up the eating to stay fat. For gayness to be the same as fatness, gay people would have to start off straight but then ween themselves onto cock. Soon they're noshing all day getting gayer and gayer. They've had more than enough cock... they're full... they're just sucking for the sake of it. Now they're overgay, and frowned upon by people who can have the occasional cock but not over indulge.
When a doctor tells me that that's how you become gay, I'll stop making jokes about fat people.
"Overgay" is the story of my life. Just ask my doctor. He prescribed me a diet of less Bravo, more Spike and less cock, more Kid Rock. That last part rhymes!
Anybody who has seen Ricky's act knows that he's a fat bitch who makes fun of fat bitches and he knows it. When he makes a blubber joke, he'll follow it up with, "I'm a fatty bo batty myself..." or something like that. Because he's a plumpy himself, it's okay for him to make fun of fatties, right? Right?
And who takes him seriously anyway? He's a fucking comedian. It's just jokes! Jokes! People get are so damn oversensitive. You can't make fun of fat people, skinny bitches, gays, lezzies, straights, gingers, squirrels, ferns, etc... What else is there left to laugh at? Rocks?! Well, that includes most of Hollywood, so that settles that. We'll only make fun of fucking rocks!

Weight Watchers just teaches someone who doesn't know portion control to make healthy choices. I lost weight without Weight Watchers, but taught myself portion control and calorie counting but I know alot of people who have lost on it (my sister-in-law lost 40 pounds) and has kept it off. It's not for everybody, but for some people it does work.
Again, have an awesome day!
ZIggy: Here's the link to get you started.
Add about sexuality; I like your mention of the brain being plastic. I know a few people who have switched their sexual orientation back and forth. Die-hard lifelong straight woman meets a friend of her sister's who is a lesbian and instantly falls in love. Maybe it was latent. Dunno. A guy we were pretty sure was straight was gay for a while and is now dating a woman again. Same for another high school girl friend of mine. You just never know. I have another friend who sleeps with women now and then but can only fall in love with a man. ??? As long as everyone is happy and consenting...
I like both versions of The Office (preferred the American version until it turned into more of a soap opera than a comedy in season 3) but I fuckin' ADORED Extras.

Just as you can be born with the genetic predisposition towards gaining or losing easily...being more round or more sleek...what foods you might be attracted to...ability to moderate. All of which is tempered by environmental factors throughout life...

Posted by Ziggy Stardust:
No, I am not being sarcastic when I say that nobody is born gay.
The construct of homosexuality is, by definition, a sexual attraction towards persons of the same sex. Does anybody honestly believe that newly born babies are capable of experiencing a sexual attraction to anybody of the same sex or different sex?
...................................................
Ziggy, that's a specious, and what is worse, a trivial, argument. Obviously, when we say somebody is "born" with a feature, we don't mean that they exhibit that feature precisely at the moment of birth. A person might be said to be born with cystic fibrosis, even though they don't develop the symptoms until later in life. A genetic predisposition is precisely the point, and that predisposition can be associated with different degrees of probability. The evidence now suggests that homosexuality has a very strong genetic association, as well as association with other innate biological features, such as hormonal fluctutations, and specifics of brain development, in the womb.
OK, I got a little too zealous there.
Sowwy.
Look, I am hardly thin. I've got Eastern European peasant genes and I could starve myself and exercise until Paris Hilton wins an Oscar, a Grammy an Emmy and a Tony and I am not ever gonna be runway model thin, nor do I want to be.
I was overweight because I ate too much. I stopped eating too much and I am now at what I consider to be my natural weight.

mckaret,
Thank you for that link. I will make sure to watch it when I have a chance. Is it likely to be taken down anytime soon?
Just to clarify something though - I never suggested that an individual's sexual orientation is a choice. No educated person would suggest such a thing, and neither would I.
It might seem like a silly question, but can I ask you what the word 'homosexual' means?
I would hope that you recognise that homosexuality is a socially construct that refers to the direction of sexual behaviour to a person of the same sex.
Another question: do you believe that a newly born baby is capable of experiencing or expressing sexual behaviour towards any person? If a baby is not capable of expressing homosexual behaviour, then it cannot be considered a homosexual.
The human brain is plastic. It will continue to shape and develop as the child grows in response to the environment. Again, the genome is expressed or inhibited in response to experience.
I don't think it's a particularly strong analogy, but it's the best I can come up with. Let's say that 'rememberer' is a label that we attach to people who display behaviours of memory. Rememberers can create new memories and retrieve these memories. This is our definition.
A child will not be born a rememberer. It simply does not have the capacity to lay down memories due to the fact that the neural mechanisms that facilitate such behaviours are not yet fully developed and operational.
A few years into life though, these structures will develop and the child will be capable of memory behaviours. Only now can it be called a rememberer.
Of course, the child did not choose for its memory behaviour to develop, but at the same time, it was not born with the ability to lay down memories.

While I don't think people should be mean to fat people, fat people do not have a momopoly on being made fun of or even being treated badly because of they way they look.
I'm a skinny ho, I've always been a skinny ho, and people have said (and still do say) rude and inappropriate things to me all the time. "Oh my god! You're so skinny! Do you eat?" Nope never. I've survived nearly 4 decades living on air. "Oh, my god! You're so skinny, how much do you weigh?" Fuck you, bitch. When your last bowel movement becomes my goddamn business, my weight will become yours.
That said, have you ever seen my ass get all chapped when sluts up in here making fun of Nicole Ritchie and other skinny ho's? No, cuz that shit's funny.
I even laugh at other people's jokes on me. One day I wolfed down a cheeseburger and fries at work and my boss watched in amazement and said, "Wow, you really do eat real food, doncha?..." I said, slightly miffed, "Well, of course I do. What did you think I ate?" He said, "I don't know, bird seed and grass?" I thought that shit was hilarious.
Bottom line is, people is gonna offend yo' ass intentionally or unintentionally and people is gonna make fun of yo' ass either good naturedly or with a mean spirit. You just got learn when to stand up for yourself, when to ignore, when to pity a fool and when to LAUGH! Not saying it's always easy, but getting your panties in a bunch over every little thing every time will stress a ho out, whether you a fat ho or a skinny ho. That shit ain't good fer ya.

Interesting point, but I do not think that "shopping at Express is the orgasmic end-all be-all of life," hardly, but I am not ashamed to admit that I am happier being height-weight proportionate than I was being 25 pounds overweight. I am not ashamed to admit that I am happier having control over food rather than feeling like food controlled me. I am proud of the fact that I no longer have to eat food just because it is in front of me, I am proud of the fact that I make conscious choices about eating rather than doing it mindlessly and on auto-pilot.
I am thrilled that I no longer categorize food as "good" or "bad," that I no longer make eating a moral issue. I am damn proud of the fact that I now eat when I am hungry, eat pretty much whatever I want, and STOP EATING when I am satisfied, not when the bag/plate/package is empty or when I am stuffed to the point of pain.

luscious_t,
My grandmother was obese and had diabetes, my mother is now obese too. Both my husband's parents were morbidly obese. This is why you won't see junk food in my pantry except when I'm hosting a party or it's a special occasion and I let us have some potato chips and crap. I almost never buy cookies...if I don't make them myself then no cookies in da house. I was a really strict mom when it came to food but my daughter had some of the best gourmet meals made with health and love. Frankly, I'd rather eat a big plate of steamed broccoli over a bag of greasy chips. I make a low cal twice baked potato that is pretty darned tasty (and healthy) too! :)
Luscious, yes I have. I have been fat my whole life until I was 22. I am now 41. By the way, I used to be a smoker, for 17 years. I quit smoking 11 years ago, and ran four marathons, too. I can only speak for myself. I have nothing but complete sympathy for you, and for smokers, and for anyone struggling with ANY addiction, as my mother was addicted to pills, honestly. I was simply saying that the very first time I went over into the side that wasn't the plus size, it was an incredible feeling. @:)
I am not here to judge you or anyone, you have a health issue. Obviously that is different. However, changing our lives is difficult. It is much easier to NOT change ourselves and comfort ourselves with food and not exercise. I'm not speaking of you, but of how I was. It is STILL difficult for me. I just choose every day to eat healthy and of course indulge. The difference is, when I indulge, the next day I make sure I eat healthy again.
Anyways, I have to run, but I really appreciate your words and just know, I was only saying that for me, that was not the end-all be all. I think you misunderstood that. The end all be all was meeting my husband, giving birth to my children, having fantastic friends, but most importantly, learning to love myself. When you learn to love yourself, whether you are heavy or thin, the world is yours. @:)
Have a great day everyone!
I totally agree about weight watchers. My mom has lost 30-40 punds in the 8 months or so on their program but ALL she seems to talk about is food these days. "Oh I've been bad" or if we're out to eat it's always "Iv'e saved up all day for this" and then after eating 'oh I'm so full I feel sick blah blah blah" Why can't you just eat? I hate Dr. Phil, but he made a good point a few yrs ago when he was on that weight loss kick - he said something along the lines of "after a wolf in the wild eats, do you think he sits back and feels guilty all night?" I think that was brills and sums up some of this negative eating psychology we've all become so obsessed with.

No, not fun or easy, but it's what makes the lose stick, IMO. Plus, it won't just benefit your weight, but every aspect of your life.
Everyone must listen to this to understand the genius of Ricky:
this is from his old XFM show -- he gets him mom on the phone and, well, it's absolutely HYSTERICAL, he calls her for her birthday, she's bitching him out for his swearing on his show -- way better than Letterman's mom joke thing.

I think some of you are REALLY missing the point with Ricky Gervais because he is totally self-deprecating. Do you think he's taking himself seriously in that photo above? He constantly jokes about his own fat ass and that he doesn't understand how people can watch his fat head on the big screen.
Ziggy,
Thank you! It's a fantastic portrait. Now I'm going to look him up. (And find out who did the portrait of him).
"I remember my first trip to Express after shopping at LB at a size 22--damn. I thought I lost my mind for real."
I KNOW! It's damn right almost orgasmic, you feel so good. And proud.
Somewhere, in my attic, I still have my fat pants. A size 22 LB acid wash jeans. Hysterical! My husband still can't believe I used to be heavy. I think life is all about being sensitive to all issues but not take ourselves too seriously. @:)
Regarding Ziggy Stardust, there is groundbreaking work done regarding people being born gay. There was a 60 minutes story on it (you can look it up), where a study was done with twins. Having worked with children before, I can tell you, you can always tell the children who will probably grow up to be gay and/or lesbian. I'm sure you have experienced the same at some point in your life. Open your mind a little bit. People don't choose it. But if I can't change your mind, that's fine, too.

Nobody is born gay, in the same way that nobody is born straight. When somebody is able to show me a baby that displays behaviour that we could class as homosexual or heterosexual then I'll concede that babies are born with set sexual orientation.
That's what I thought about being born old till I saw "Benjamin Button." Brad Pitt plays this old guy--well, I don't want to spoil it. It's really long, however, so don't drink before the movie starts.

I actually started out going to weight watchers but I found that their program is geared towards making people MORE obsessed with food rather than less.
All the measuring and weighing and keeping track---it's not "normal."
It's not about fat grams or calories or protein vs carbs.
For me, it was all about analyzing the role food played in my life and changing it.

Raid someone's cupboards or pantry to find out how they really live.
On obesity, I think that there are health concerns that should be considered before anybody lectures any other person on their weight or eating habits.

Absolutely, except the problem is that it is easier said than done...which is why it took me over 30 years to fuckin' figure it out! Better late than never though!
from www.eatingnormal.com
"The only permanent way to establish the relationship with food you’ve always wanted is to become a “normal” eater—to say “yes” and “no” to food in just the right balance in order to maintain a healthy, comfortable weight."
Problem is, there is a whole lot of work that needs to be done before you can get from mindless and binge eating to mindful and /or "normal" eating.

Also, has anyone seen that show "Ruby"? It's about a morbidly obese woman who's trying to lose weight.
Very interesting. She's very pretty and bubbly. My sister turned me on to the show, telling me how great this woman is, etc.
After watching a whole bunch of episodes in a row, though, I started to get wise to her. Like all addicts, she manipulates people in her life to get her drug. They enable and occasionally sabotage her. But she also makes incredible excuses for herself and tries to weasel out of stuff.
And it enraged me to learn that she's on SSI because she "can't work". Which I find utter bullshit. If she can watch TV and use the computer and make phone calls, she can find work. She's a personable, intelligent woman. She could at least do telemarketing from home. That pissed me off. Anyhoo....
Mrs. Kravitz- congrats on your loss!!
If you don't mind me asking, are you doing it on your own or with a program?
No, I am not being sarcastic when I say that nobody is born gay.
The construct of homosexuality is, by definition, a sexual attraction towards persons of the same sex. Does anybody honestly believe that newly born babies are capable of experiencing a sexual attraction to anybody of the same sex or different sex?
Until the child is capable of homosexual behaviour, and I include cogntion in behaviour, then they are not a homosexual. In the same way that I do not consider a child or person to be a hexerosexual, bisexual, transexual, pansexual or any variation in between, until they consciously experience or exhibit the relevant behaviour.
Nobody is born gay, in the same way that nobody is born straight. When somebody is able to show me a baby that displays behaviour that we could class as homosexual or heterosexual then I'll concede that babies are born with set sexual orientation.
I believe that there are genetic configurations that may predispose individuals to a specific orientation, but genetics require experience before they can be expressed or inhibited.
