But your obese breasts are ... enchantingYOUR OBESE BRAIN IS NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE: Ignore our remarks about bacon, stop eating raw cookie dough, and get on John Mackey’s nutrient-dense, organic dick-bag diet: obese people have “severe brain degeneration.” Obese people’s brains are not only withered and weird; they also look older, so if you are at all vain about your brain’s appearance you will definitely not want to become obese.

But as an act of public service, you’d be good eatin’!

Tommmcatt August 27, 2009 at 12:36 pm

Which explains modern Conservatism, if you think about it.

Suck on it Reuben! (“It” being a paintbrush made out of beef jerky.)

hiphophitler August 27, 2009 at 12:38 pm

On the other hand, fat people are soft and comfy and are like waterbeds to sleep on. Also, obese sex is all about doggystyle because, I mean, what else is possible?

Bearbloke August 27, 2009 at 12:39 pm

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

Is this why fatties are so jolly?

thejesusandmarycheney August 27, 2009 at 12:39 pm

heh, “become”.

Sadly, you’re right.

I can’t wait for the Wingtards to start shrieking about how science is political. Oh wait, they already do.

Norbert August 27, 2009 at 12:45 pm

I would like to go on record and say that it is not necessary to be obese to achieve a withered and weird brain.

trickyrick August 27, 2009 at 12:45 pm

Ban high fructose corn syrup.

the end.

Humpback August 27, 2009 at 12:45 pm

I’m not worried how my brain looks because I never take off my skull. Even when I swim.

RoscoePColtraine August 27, 2009 at 12:45 pm

Beauty and brains should NOT go together. And by ‘beauty’ I mean ‘skinny.’

Oh sure, now you’ll dump me for some skinny chick whose brain looks young and supple. Bastard!

If I send money (AR$), will Wonkette promise to never post that pic again?

I think this is the Rosetta Stone that connects “Hot Beef Injection” and “Fucked My Brains Out.”

SayItWithWookies August 27, 2009 at 12:57 pm

On the bright side for the dumbs, I hear that smooth cerebral cortices are going to be the new trend in fall fashion. Convolutions are so fifteen minutes ago.

Mmmmm. Dickbags. Mmmmm.

Hey, I might not know much about bacon, but I know what I like.
My brain is very thin, by the way.

hiphophitler August 27, 2009 at 1:03 pm

If he was just clean shaven, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a human that looked more like a snowman than this guy.

Obesity…reduces sexual activity.

This is some break-through shit, bro.

sezme August 27, 2009 at 1:07 pm

My brain is as shiny and smooth as the day I was born!

the problem child August 27, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Would anyone rather be a bit smarter when they hit 80 but have to give up bacon until then? That’s what I thought.

zaccapeters August 27, 2009 at 1:15 pm

So. Our survival as the land of the freeps and home of the ‘fraids is entirely dependent on exporting as many fast-food(sic) franchises at light speed to every other country on the globe before they wise up?

shortsshortsshorts August 27, 2009 at 1:19 pm

This is clearly wrong. [re=396362]WadISay[/re]: I weigh 150 pounds and STILL have experienced a vast reduction of sexual activity. Therefore— bullshit.

Better American Than You August 27, 2009 at 1:19 pm

[re=396362]WadISay[/re]: Sexual activity reduces obesity, one might posit. Further research required.

Security at townhalls will now be armed with cheese-stuffed weaved bacon in order to succumb rowdy fat slob deathers with AR-15s.

Country Club Jihadi August 27, 2009 at 1:21 pm

I just went to a Britney Spears concert (free tix) and there was a seriously obese family there. They walked around as if in a stupor, with their glistening bottom lips just hanging there. They couldn’t even figure out how to stand in line, like basic social protocol seemed to elude them.

DoctorCulturae August 27, 2009 at 1:22 pm

In other news hair has been outlawed by the Geneva Convention (oh them). Any possible activity or surface that is not smooth and streamlined has similarly been outlawed. Edginess is so 20th century. Footnote: see antidepressants, Ted Kennedy, park designs, ‘mobs,’ and cognitive processes.

zaccapeters August 27, 2009 at 1:24 pm

And. Also. There is now an established linear relationship between expanding panniculi and withering cortices. Is there a corollary inverse function, you know, for withering panniculi? just wondering. also.

ManchuCandidate August 27, 2009 at 1:25 pm

[re=396383]shortsshortsshorts[/re]:
I have thin married friends who bitch about the lack of action but that’s just kids, school, work, etc.

Obesity really just ruins the moment when there is a possibility of getting some.

Maybe I’m wrong, but despite what CBS says there isn’t an army of hot women who like to sleep with fat guys (although I see it more the other way, skinny guys with fat women.)

hobospacejunkie August 27, 2009 at 1:25 pm

So Leonard Nimoy enjoys photographing severe brain degeneratives.

Does this mean it’s no longer un-PC to hate on fat people?

CrunchyKnee August 27, 2009 at 1:25 pm

The Olds and The Fats are what makes America great!

the prophet of Deseret August 27, 2009 at 1:33 pm

I think everyone should publicly excoriate the fats as much as possible. Talk about how disgusting they are when they try to go jogging, point at them when they dance, talk loudly about how stupid they all are. Really, we should make them not want to leave their houses, especially the women, so no one has to look at them. The real problem with fat people is that they aren’t publicly shamed enough.

Cape Clod August 27, 2009 at 1:37 pm

So there is a relationship between fat and stupid? Who knew?

Tommmcatt August 27, 2009 at 1:38 pm

That and the smell.

So THAT’S what happened during the primaries. Mark Penn’s brain took on the appearance of Robert Byrd’s.

MOG August 27, 2009 at 1:46 pm

All us fats are just waiting for Armageddon, so we can watch teh thins wither away and die, while we melt slowly into super models. heh.

mephistopheles jefferson August 27, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Neuroscience says that the anterior cingulate regulates the limbic system (lower brain) from the cerebral cortex. Therefore, the stronger the anterior cingulate, the more logical and integrated one’s thoughts are with one’s emotions.

Now imagine the above subject at an all-day Chinese buffet. Which do you think is gonna win, the logical center or the emotional?

Repeat experiment for wingtards with pics of chicks in bikinis with Uzis.

BRB–can’t read the comments now because I’ve got to toss the bag of bite sized candy bars into the dumpster.

shortsshortsshorts August 27, 2009 at 1:50 pm

[re=396396]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Ah yes… you speak of the “Bear— Little Otter” theory. Some of the womenz can’t keep their hands off a fat, balding lunatic. I believe this is involuntary— that the lard sucks in their hands and prevents them from escape. This is, again, just a theory.

GreatOldOnesParty August 27, 2009 at 1:55 pm

“Obese people had lost brain tissue in the frontal and temporal lobes, areas of the brain critical for planning and memory, and in the anterior cingulate gyrus (attention and executive functions), hippocampus (long-term memory) and basal ganglia (movement)”

Well that would explain why the wingnutz can’t seem to remember anything that happened between 1/20/00 and 1/20/09 except 9/11. And only then because it was on the teevee all the fucking time and now n00bama wants to turn it into a day of sacrificing Christian fetuses to the Muslin Moon-God.

JadedDIssonance August 27, 2009 at 2:02 pm

[re=396411]the prophet of Deseret[/re]: And also, let’s create reality TeeVee Dating shows for The Fats. But instead of affirming positive lifestyle choices, let’s focus on their bigg butts and closeup on their eatings.

[re=396441]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: I hear Obesity also shrinks yer peen.

shortsshortsshorts August 27, 2009 at 2:04 pm

[re=396454]JadedDIssonance[/re]: There is no proof of that. Fat people can’t even see their peen to contribute information to your findings.

Hard to imagine anyone actually being able to hide a pistol from prison guards in their own folds of fat, but there it is, right there in Tejas:

And I’m getting damned sick and tired of all those fats in the electric shopping carts with handicapped parking stickers when their only handicap is tire tracks on their collops from when they ran themselves over with the aforementioned electric shopping cart, which they were driving at the same time they ran themselves over…

Everyone seems to think the correlation means that getting fat makes you dumb. I think it’s more likely being dumb leads to becoming fat. Anyone actually read the original paper to find out if causality was determined by the study?

Better American Than You August 27, 2009 at 3:28 pm

I sense a rising prejudice against lazy, grease-eating piggy people. I hope to God this is not true, and that slothful, porcine, gluttons do not indeed become the voluntary Dagos, Polacks, or Bachmanns of our generation.

It was a double-blind study, too. One clinic was testing for stupidity, and another for obesity, and the needles of both camps landed on Mississippi.
