U Too Phat!


Under a national law that came into effect two months ago, companies and local governments must now measure the waistlines of Japanese people between the ages of 40 and 74 as part of their annual checkups. That represents more than 56 million waistlines, or about 44 percent of the entire population.

Those exceeding government limits — 33.5 inches for men and 35.4 inches for women, which are identical to thresholds established in 2005 for Japan by the International Diabetes Federation as an easy guideline for identifying health risks — and having a weight-related ailment will be given dieting guidance if after three months they do not lose weight. If necessary, those people will be steered toward further re-education after six more months

Japan, Seeking Trim Waists, Measures Millions

I love it. Further re-education. :) If that doesn't work, it's up against the wall!

It does sound sort of Orwellish. It would be a nightmare if "re education" meant fat camp with Richard Simmons (shutter). Sweatin to the oldies and sifting through Deal-a-Meal cards.

33 inches for a man's waist seems kinda skinny to me.

I kinda like Richard Simmons, for the first few seconds he's on tv, then he gives me a headache.

Yeah, 33 is skinny. But they make them smaller in Japan.
When I first met Mr. Shai he wore size 30 waist. Waaaaaaaaaaay to thin! He looked like Christian Bale in the movie The Machinist. I fattened him up a bit...he he. Just like you suggested because a fat husband is a faithful husband. :D

It's an interesting public health approach. Very interesting.

Can they also record if they are single, Jewish, and doctors and forward those files to AG?!!

A Prayer For Those Who Hate Me

I would like to pray right now to ease my heart. Sweet Jesus, please take the hate from the hearts of those who seek to hurt me. Please show them the path to Your Love. Take from them their pain, their bitterness, their multitude of demons. Make them whole in Your Love. Lead them to Peace so that they may not judge others in reflection of the judgement written against them on their filthy self-righteous rags of souls. I pray that they will REPENT and let You into their hearts so the judgements against them may be washed clean and their names written in the Book of Life. In Your Name Sweet Jesus I Pray, Amen.

Boycott Cat Stevens And His New Album

It's true, the traitor has apparently decided that it's no longer a sin against his moon god to try and milk money out of the fame he used to enjoy before he became a Satanist. I am not going to buy it, and if it by some far flung chance gets radio play, I'll switch channels. He is such a sneaky Satanist, he's trying to make money from the people he considers infidels, and who he believes should be killed, wherever he may find them. I've re-written one of his songs, I think it properly shows his true feelings toward those who are not Muslim. I hope you enjoy it. It's to the tune of Trouble. Satan Oh Satan set me free I have seen your face And it's too much like a Jew's for me Allah Oh Allah can't you see Jews are stealing our land Soon they'll enslave the whole Middle East I don't drink no wine The Jews have made the world blind I don't think it's fair I don't think it's fair Israel's full of Jews So won't you be kind ...
