Biggest Losers

I love the fact that a obesity, as severe as the media puts it to be, has become a nation-wide television show for everyone's entertainment. The Biggest Loser has brilliantly disguised its gross popularity in Channel Ten's prime time as a public service announcement that extends across 13 (more or less) episodes. I love nothing more than to watch a bunch of overweight individuals lose weight under extreme pressure.

It's inspirational - if I were overweight.

Ok it's not the show itself I have a problem with, but it's disturbing time slot in Channel Ten's evening line-up. How can you possibly sustain an appetite while you watch a few bulbous men and women jiggling their body flab around with sweat gushing from their crevices in High-definition? I remember the good ol' days when I sat down at the dinner table in front of the TV and I intently watched satiable shows like The Simpsons and Masterchef (especially MasterChef) without losing my appetite.

Maybe its their purpose to put the us off our hunger during dinner in an effort to improve public health. But I enjoy my food too much! It's MY food and I'm not going to let any pathetic 50 inch, 1000000:1 contrast ratio, 100Hz refresh rate, HD LCD television that's tuned to Channel Ten prevent me from savouring my dinner! Anyway, it's time for my dinner now and it looks like I'll be spending another night watching Channel Seven now while I single-handedly eating my KFC Variety Bucket Meal.

Got my Goat?
