Say Anything Blog

Not only should Jordin not win, fat people should be banned from being high school valedictorians, winning the lottery, and so on.

What a bunch of sh1t.  I am about 75 lbs heavier than I would like at 275.  I happen to be 6’3” but 275# is a little heavy.  So what.  Sure, I might get diabetes and possibly I set a bad example for the entire nation when they see me be successful.

Jordin isn’t fat.  And secondly, she hails from Glendale, AZ, so piss on this anorexic skinny ass b1tch anyway.  Damn.  In the uber-PC world, you cannot say that she is black, hispanic, gay, transexual, albino, etc., but you can say she is fat like it is nothing.

The only thing that could possibly be worse than being fat is to be a…  SMOKER!

The only thing that could possibly be worse than being fat is to be a… SMOKER!

If she was skinny, many more would be jumping on her case for “setting a bad example”. It’s “PC” to make fun of skinny people.

Many at this very blog would say things like, “tell that girl to eat” and “I like a little meat on them bones” or make some “heroin-chic” comment.

Don’t kid yourself. While it’s seen as insulting to say that a person is overweight, no such standard exists for the skinny in this culture.

So….following the same logic, should Roth lose her job because she’s a conceited, arrogant, judgemental bitch?

Just asking.

What a bunch of sh1t.

I disagree. Its American idol. It is an all around competition. If you are fat, ugly, or whatever… you should loose. It is not a contest to pick the most average American. It is a contest to pick the best looking, singing, et cetera American. Pavarotti would loose. So what? The guy probably can’t dance for shit. Not that I am against dissing on nanny staters, but their opinions on American Idol results are really not bothering me. I think Rob is totally wrong here:

She’s actually advocating that someone win a contest of skill (that’s what it’s supposed to be anyway) based on appearance rather than their actual skills.

It is an all around contest. Like star search or any of those superficial TV shows. So what if I have a great voice, if I look like frickin’ elephant man who’s going to come and see me perform unless its a $2 admission to a trailer at the fair next to the two foot tall bearded lady? You need the voice and the talent, AND THE LOOK.

If you are fat, ugly, or whatever… you should loose.

Is she fat or ugly?

I think not.  She is a very good looking (though slightly chubby) woman.  And Clay Aiken wasn’t even close to good looking, unless you love the c0ck there Sparkie.

BTW, on the note of the health nut a$$holes, it happens that her dad was a professional NFL cornerback for the Giants and played at my alma maters—Glendale Community College and Arizona State.  He graduated from Peoria High where several of my friends graduated.  She is 17, so cut her some slack.

Maybe she just needs an eating disorder like the skinny a$$ b1tch in the youtube.

Roth kind of bit her own ass. She first says the contestant shouldn’t win because she’s overweight but then she made the bet that if the contestant did win she guarantees she’ll lose 40 pounds right away. So, if that’s what Roth is actually campaigning about why wouldn’t she be all for that particular contestant to win.
Personally, I don’t see that girl as being 40 pounds overweight and by any chance did this waste of molecules Roth chick go after Ruben like this?
Grrr…

Excuse me but did MeMe (an appropriately self-lovng name) mke this comment when Reuban Studdard or Taylor won?

Not only is she crazy, she is sexist!

Good post—I can’t imagine what is going through MeMe Roth’s underfed little brain, but it astounds me that such a shrill, superficial little b*@#h can get so much airtime.  My only comment to the above is to the title:  I don’t understand the characterization of Ms. Roth as a “liberal do-gooder.”  Liberals, unlike the right-wing nutjobs on Fox News, value personal freedom. (OK, you win on the 2nd Amendment, but since we have to pick one side or the other, I’ll the one that supports 9 out of 10 of the Bill of Rights over the side who supports only 1 of them any day.)  While it may be shocking, we also like to eat as much as anyone—despite the stereotypes that some knuckleheads out there may have, most of us are not vegetarians, and do not want to tell anyone else what to eat.  For the record, there is nothing liberal or “do-gooder” about Ms. Roth’s media campaign—she annoys those of us on the left just as much as she annoys you.  I wish she would just go away and have a decent meal so maybe she could calm herself down. 

For the record, I think Jordin looks a hell of a lot better than the uptight, WASPy little bag of bones who calls herself MeMe Roth.

She is insane and as obsessive as any overeater.  She has confused perfection (or her version of perfection) with health.  Below is my letter to her “organization”.  I don’t really give a shit about American Idol or most of the crap that comes across the tube, but something about this asshole got my blood boiling.  Go to her website and send her a letter.  She deserves to be called out.

I don’t watch American Idol unless I’m being held captive at an airline gate or waiting in a long line at the grocery store (where I of course will have avoided the central aisles and shopped only along the vegetable, fruit and whole grain laden periphery).  But I couldn’t avoid this latest tempest in the teapot of American pop culture involving your founder Ms. Roth and the recent winner of American Idol, Jordin Sparks. 

Meme Roth is of course correct in her estimation that Americans eat too much, surround themselves with easily accessible empty calories and are sedentary.  But her vicious sand bagging of a young women of color, has done your organization’s efforts to raise awareness of these problems and to correct them more harm than good, especially among communities of color where the hectoring attack on national television of a 17 year old talented girl of color by a skinny, white, mean spirited, blond, suburban drone named “Meme” will be dismissed as the delusional rant of an unfulfilled scold – to put not too fine a point on it.  I don’t necessarily agree with every aspect of this assessment, but as someone who shares your concern about obesity and about the junk food industry’s stalking of young children, I assure you that is how she came off.  By any reasonable, informed estimation unbiased by prejudice for bone thinness as the feminine ideal, Jordin Sparks is not obese or fat as Ms. Roth clearly implied.  As a self appointed nutrition expert—forgive me but I’m unaware of any academic or professional credentials that vouch for Ms. Roth’s expertise—she should be familiar with the developing consensus that some people will never drop below a certain weight unless they starve themselves. 

One is left to wonder whether Ms. Roth is completely unaware of the other food-related epidemic that grips American culture, as thousands of once happy, assertive girls grow into neurotic, anorexic and bulimic young women starving themselves to perfection and causing their families anguish and panic.  One is also left to wonder whether Ms. Roth has chosen to exorcise her own food demons not just on the backs of the dangerously obese, but on the lives of healthy women and girls who have chosen to eschew the obsessive pursuit of rail thin waifishness and compulsive exercise that perhaps Ms. Roth has adopted in favor of the normal development of breasts, hips, thighs and buttocks.  Perhaps she is resentful of women who have, despite the best efforts of fashion advertising, managed to avoid an aversion to their own bodies.  And if Ms. Roth finds my speculation, and, no doubt, the unkind speculation that countless other people are making about her, about her personal life and her mental health (or lack thereof) intrusive or offensive, perhaps she will come to understand the limits of her armchair medical practice, will give us a break from her self aggrandizing tedium, and return to doing something that has even a meager chance of convincing people to eat a wide variety of healthy foods and exercise regularly.  We can only hope.

ABSURDNESS

  She bullshits that its unhealthy and that this should NOT represent a winner of American Idol. Yet would she go after someone who is too thin???? Say an 17 BMI winner? I highly doubt it.

True that Jordan is alittle bit over weight <

> and average looking, but that doesn’t prevent her from winning a singing competetion!!
I mean she won because of her talent not figure

that MEME women is crazy and cravying for puplicity that’s all

she do have a point though.. when she said in one of her interveiws, that celebraties all go for weight loss delima and varios diets, even when they start their career being fat and say there is no wrong being fat

it’s true, whenever there is an over weight celebraties eventually they will go through a diet and get thin.. why I don’t know
may be we prefer seeing the perfect figure even if we didn’t adimt it!!

Jordin Sparks is a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice. To be honest, when it comes to her fanbase, they don’t love her because of her figure. She is my idol, not because of her looks, but because of her talent and her age acting alongside it, pushing against all the pressure that came her way on her road to becoming the next American Idol. Nobody gives a shit about the weight, because most people that have met her say that she is the sweetest girl ever. At that point is it really necessary to concentrate on if she’s too fat or something at that low of caliber?

Fuck this Meme girl.

Justin B. - Maybe she just needs an eating disorder like the skinny a$$ b1tch in the youtube.

So it’s wrong to point out the overweight, but okay to make disparaging comments in the other direction.

Were you aiming to prove this comment?

Liberal AI Fan said, Liberals, unlike the right-wing nutjobs on Fox News, value personal freedom.

Riiiight! Which is why the liberals want to tax our earnings at ever higher levels, force socialized medical care onto us, support abortion, and even mandate how much water is in our toilets. It’s all because they value personal freedom. Uh huh. What are you smoking bro?

(OK, you win on the 2nd Amendment, but since we have to pick one side or the other, I’ll the one that supports 9 out of 10 of the Bill of Rights over the side who supports only 1 of them any day.)

Oh, you guys support the freedom of religion part in the 1st Amendment? That’s good news! When did that change?

And since when do you big government loving liberals respect the 10th? You really didn’t think your rant through.

I wish she would just go away and have a decent meal so maybe she could calm herself down.

For the record, I think Jordin looks a hell of a lot better than the uptight, WASPy little bag of bones who calls herself MeMe Roth.

Yet another one adamant on proving my point.

hds said, But her vicious sand bagging of a young women of color…

What’s the point of adding “women of color”?

I had the dubious honor of being trapped in a room with Meme Roth recently. My daughter is having nightmares after watching Rear Window…I felt exactly the same way last night after listening to this escaped lunatic.

Does she have a point about Americans and children being overweight largely as a result of a poor diet, worse eating habits and ever decreasing exercise regimens? of course. However her message is lost, tuned out or blatantly ignored due to her overbearing, militant stance that because she suffers from genetic obesity (so she starves herself and her family into anorexic discontent in self defense), we should all be cowering in fear with the same neurotic, self-obsessed pathology that is clearly driving her. No one wants to have beliefs shoved down their throats or to have ranting, clearly emotionally, unbalanced individuals project their agendas on us until we go in the opposite direction in retaliation. Listening to her made me doubly grateful I backed a fresh batch of triple chocolate chunk brownies for the captive (and I do mean captive as in caught staring in horror down the barrel of a loaded loose cannon) audience. Meme stick to your facts, leave out the diatribe and let people come to their own conclusion about their family’s diets. The entire message she is espousing is instead getting sabotaged by her zealous do-gooder approach which is sad. Because her message is important and that’s that we all should take better care of ourselves. Why we don’t comes as much from genetic pre-dispostion, emotional stress and let’s not forget the multi-billion dollar marketing campaigns aimed at making us crave anything from Whoppers to Cocoa Puffs (quite successfully I might add). Not because some nut case is screaming invectives as us but because if you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.
Forget Meme as a bad memory, the rest of us need to concentrate only on taking care of ourselves. And remember, an occasional triple chocolate chunk never hurt anyone. Meme looks like she could use a whole pan ;0)

You cannot really judge a person’s health by looking at their weight.  Also, passion, happiness and joy account for a lot in life - and quality of life.

It’s not okay to make fun of anybody - we should try to be comfortable with our bodies.  We should try to stay away from trans fats, saturated fats and too much sugar.  However, if we spend all of our time obsessing about our weight, we aren’t living.  What is the good of living life if all you think about is how you need to be different than what you are and how can we enjoy so much of the world when we are so self-focused?

There is much to be said on the subject!

I’m somewhat on the middle on this one.  I’ll explain.

On the Libertarian side, you should be as fat or Phat as you want to be.

On the other hand, others have their right to their opinions and if they don’t say BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) but rather BFH (Big Fat Hog) that’s their opinion—oh dear how sad.

But if you present yourself before a camera as an object of beauty and you are toting an extra 40 pounds on the hoof, don’t be surprised if all but those with a double chin fetish aren’t impressed.

If you have a job that requires moving quickly for a sustained period of time (military / law enforcement) and you are carrying an excess 50 pounds of fat then don’t be surprised if you don’t make the cut.  Anyone in the Corps might recall those under and overweight recruits diverted to the PCP (Physical Conditioning Platoon) .  Talk about transformations!

If you don’t take the time to keep your diet and exercise regimine to at least NOT take up two airplane seats or require 8 orderlies to move you, don’t be surprised if you are charged extra for the extra burden you place on others.

Ultimately, it is up to the individual to control their own diet and exercise plan to keep themselves healthy.  I’m not saying you have to look like Paris or, for those who can remember, Twiggy but at least keep the BMI down to a low roar.

Do it for yourselves: your heart will last longer, you can avoid diabetes and other weight-related syndromes, you will feel better about yourself and you will most likely have better chances at attracting the opposite sex.

MeMe Roth a liberal? Since are liberals telling people to take responsibility by eating responsibly?

MeMe Roth is the Joan of Arc of personal responsibility. NeoCONS are all fat ass hell. Look at that baby raper Limbaugh and that simpleton Shawn Hannity.

Fat people should be harpooned!
