    It Is Not Logical to Shun Fat Chicks

    By Kyle | November 11, 2007

    Baby got back, front and sides in a new book by photographer and former “In Search of Host” Leonard Nimoy, who has boldly gone where even Dove soap ads have not gone before: naked pictures of fat chicks. His new book, “The Full Body Project” is full of full-figured fun gals–more here. It sounds like the kind of thing that you’d see on a reality-TV show, which is yet another reason not to watch reality TV. I am reminded of Monica on “Friends,” who, after some tubby pictures of herself had come to light, said, “The camera adds ten pounds.” Replied Chandler, “How many cameras were on you?”

    Apparently Nimoy’s book advances something called “the fat acceptance movement,” and Nimoy chastises us all–how dare we be attracted to the attractive?–in the book by noting that “the average American woman weighs 25 percent more than the models selling the clothes.” And a few women, apparently, weight 300 percent more than the models selling the clothes.

    Here’s an idea: the fat non-acceptance movement. I say the lardly form next to you in Coach gets to pay for your ticket if any of his sweaty blubber ripples out of his seat and invades your personal space.

      Still waiting for the report that details the coincident rise in obesity with the enforced reduction in smoking.

      What if your ugly invades my personal space, do you pay for my seat?
