Minor League Baseball Team Apologizes For Corey Feldman Concert

As USA Today reports, the team has now issued an apology for the performance ? partially because the women were scantily clad and people might not have been expecting that, and partially because of how much it sucked

Seriously? "3 Reasons why your weight doesn't matter"? I'm pretty sure people run much quicker when their BMI is below 50.


What are the three reasons?
Oddly enough, in reviewing my periodical selection, it appears I let my subscription to Women's Running lapse, so I couldn't tell you what rambling, feelings-based pseudoscience they came up with.
that woman is 'morbidly obese'?  I think she is hot.  this is obese

While her Wilhelmina portfolio only gives height and measurements, not an exact weight, she is listed as 5'11" and "around 280 pounds" according to an interview. Taking her at her word, she has a BMI in the 40 range. She is unquestionably morbidly obese, albeit not as morbidly obese as these other women.

I'm sure it's only because my OC friends greatly outnumber yours.

Oh man this is hilarious. He's set to be at the Potomac Nationals "Goonies Night". I don't know if he's doing a concert though or just sitting there being old and weird. I hope it's both!
In tangent to this thread: stupid headline

My wife and I both came out of that movie with the exact observation that sad was fat. I wouldn't say we were up in arms about it though.
Just from the image, obviously the "sad" character is fat. That's obvious. The thought that no one who is fat should ever be depicted as "sad" because we have to make fat people feel good about themselves is where things go full cuckoo bananas.
