[Bob]

haha suck it australia (http://www.smh.com.au/news/health/australia-pips-us-as-worlds-fattest-nation/2008/06/19/1213770827371.html)

[BangkokB]

Too many shrimps on the Barbee is my guess

[Yetra Flam]

australians don't ever do anything

[Bob]

australians don't ever do anything

that's not true, they often complain about americans being fat

[Yetra Flam]

true, true. they do complain about the "yanks" and "poms" a lot

[Bob]

it's officially ironic now

[kll]

it's fuckin' minton and all his trips to BK and McD's. Fat bastard.

[Loppfessor]

U-S-A!!!U-S-A!!!

[insertnamehere]

Fuck. We're not #1 at something. I need to go get some cookie dough.

[Bob]

don't worry, i feel like we still hold the title for amount of tremendously fat people, though

[jabumbo]

i like how the article says they are calling for surgical waiting lists to be prioritized for fat people.

so you know, jimmy will just have to wait to get his liver because fatty over here can lose 200 pounds (y)

that made me raise an eyebrow too but to be fair it just said that "experts" are suggesting it. that could mean anything, it's not like it's a government policy.

[hpdrifter]

Sounds like you're really turning into a lawyer, Bob.

[DroppinScience]

Wow... so, uh, do we now congratulate Australia? I mean, that's no small feat. :eek:

[Documad]

I find this difficult to believe. Where are they hiding all the fat people? On the west coast? The only fat people I saw in Sydney and Melbourne were tourists.

[QueenAdrock]

They messed with Texas? :mad:

[Freebasser]

Harold and Lou are living proof.

maybe they stay indoors

my ACTUAL theory about this though is that "obese" in a technical sense has a different meaning than what we picture when we hear the word. australia may have a higher percentage of "obese" people in the sense that their body muscle index is...whatever "obese" technically means, but i don't know if you'd necessarily look at a technically "obese" person and say "look at that porker!" the same way you would when you walk into an american mcdonalds

still, don't take this from me

[Yetra Flam]

i know my home town was filled with fat white trash whose only activity was lodging their dole forms every two weeks. unfortunately, that is how i picture average australians. i imagine most people don't.

i picture australians as svelte super-tan sex gods and goddesses who do nothing all day but hang out on the beach and ride kangaroos that surf and eat gigantic lobsters while they do it (the australians, not the kangaroos)

also wallaby meat

yeh...i've been to aussie plenty of times and i can't say that i really noticed many fat people

[mikizee]

Shit... i knew I had put on a bit of weight.

Well, at least we ain't ugly.

[taquitos]

WOOT WOOT!

*sprays cheese on potato chip*

[Myu-to]

I guess it wasn't really a dingo that ate her baby.

[icy manipulator]

i heard this on the radio yesterday, and at that exact moment i saw this beast that would've been 130/140kg+ yeah there's some big fuckers around. and more and more i'm seeing fat parents with fat kids

[russhie]

If it makes me look hotter in comparison, I don't care how many fat chicks there are in Australia.

i snorted

[na§tee]

when i go to melbourne i'm going to eat about five billion kebabs. followed by cherry ripes. then a few bottles of wine. then i'm going to jump off the eureka skydeck with a satisfying plop.

i thought scotland was meant to be up there on the fat-levels? or is heart disease we're leading in? maybe bad dentistry? w00t! in your face!

i think it's beards

[na§tee]

scotland has a lot of beards. oh. oh i know i know. i read that in wikipedia*. are we talking facial hair or women gay men 'date' so as to hide their true sexuality?

*lies.

i think we're a stubbly nation. i rarely see men with full-on beards nowadays. do you? christ, i can't remember the last time i saw a man with a complete beard.

true fact: william wallace (braveheart) was really tall (mel gibson, in the film, is quite short) while rob roy (er, rob roy) was really short (liam neeson is quite tall indeed). that is all.
