A 'New' Epitome Of Laziness…

Posted by Sean on November 7, 2009

I’ve talked about this many time before. Obesity – how it’s NOT a disease. I’ve talked about how those who are obese use their obesity as a ‘crutch’. Being obese is there excuse for all the negatives in their life.

Well I just read something that made my jaw hit the floor. A new low. It seems that someone actually tried to avoid legal conviction by claiming they were ‘too fat to kill’??? A man in NJ was on trial for murder.. and his defense was that he was ‘too fat’ to have committed the murder and ‘make a quick getaway’.

C’mon.

Really?

    I don't know, Sean…is this putz any worse than the people who have sued McDonalds and Burger King because it's the fast food restaurant's fault that they are so bloody fat? Lack of accountability is the biggest area where we are falling short as a country-and it shows everytime you see a story like this.
