North Americans don't seem to care when they are fat fcuks either. Did you see "My Boyfriend The Sex Tourist" last night? The Canadian man on there was a disgrace. When he tried to find a belt that fit...
In some ways, I am quite cold hearted, but I did feel a bit sorry for the young Venezuelan girls who were employed to "entertain" that fat sod and his ilk. I know it is their choice to work there but still...

On a related matter, did anyone see the documentary on ITV1 about the guy who lost 30+ stone?
I started off watching it as the typical cynic i.e. just stop eating the burgers you fat f**ker!
However, I thought it was a genuinely touching piece of film-making and seeing the way his life changed as he dropped from 48 stone down to 16 was surprisingly moving. He came across as a decent, humane fella and I'm glad it wasn't the normal 'man portrayed as freak show' type of documentary.

I didn't see it but appreciate his efforts. Weight loss is simple, though.

When he broke his leg, gravy came out.

Not as simple as weight gain, I've found.

Don't feel for those girls, they are habour sharks. They let the guy think he has the money and power when they are calling the shots. Look at the one guy who flew all the way there for one particular girl and she didn't show up. He still had to pay for another girl.
The fat guy was a sports writer as well. I always chuckle when I read football reports over here calling a footballer names based on a lack of skill/desire, when the reports are often written by fat men whose only excercise is partaking in Sunday league games, as refs of course!
Wasnt the girls fault, it was the managers fault. I only watched 10miniutes what happened in the rest of the show?
I do feel sorry for the girls, the only chance they some seem to have to rise above is to sell their bodies in this way. My ex-wife was Latin American and I've been there and opportunities are pretty dire.

That last sentence was very badly phrased.
