Some people think that Chris Christie is much too out of shape to effectively hold office...

15. You are welcome to start a thread and discuss those issues.

I do agree with you that the media does offer idiotic images up and pass them off as normal. I suspect it's because these overpriced designers only know how to sew a straight line, and if they actually had to fit their overpriced, stupid shit to a real person, they'd have trouble doing it and making the garments look good. Ergo, they hire coat hangers with heads.

But that's not the point here--Chris Christie is not a fashion model, Kim Kardashian, or the victim of Photoshop. He is a very enormous guy who eats too much and does not exercise.

You are being VERY selective in your outrage solely because the weight issue thing is near and dear to your heart.

Will you stand with the smokers and say "Oh, don't talk about how they engage in that unhealthy, life shortening habit, because it will hurt their feelings?" I doubt you will, because that's not your issue. I'll bet we could find a few smokers who think they're habits are off limits, though. "I'm not bothering you, leave me alone!" sort of thing. Same with drinkers, heroin addicts, meth heads...you name it.

The guy is BIG. He's big because he eats too much and does not exercise. What's unrealistic is to expect people to pretend not to notice, to put on blinders and act as though there's nothing out of the ordinary with the guy, when it's plain he is way bigger than most people and it's because he ingests too many calories for his frame and doesn't burn them off.
