The Fat Don't Fly

So as I sat tonight watching the Vancouver Olympics, I was a little irritated by the commentators. Not in the “you think your funny but you couldn’t tell a knock-knock joke to a 2 year old and be funny” kind of way. In the wow you’re a huge hypocritical jerk kind of way. Readers (if you’re out there) check this out. So I’m watching the ski jumping (which I’m not sure what it is technically called, but is on wii fit so…), when this French guy gets up there to jump. He is massively tall, but thin as a rail. If he was any thinner he would be anorexic. And what do you think the commentators start saying about him? “He is way over the body mass index for this sport” and my favorite of them all, “the fat don’t fly”. Let’s take a step back NBC. Is your channel not the home of The Biggest Loser? Frenchy is NOT fat, he is a professional athlete with a muscular physic. Commentators, if he was out of the body mass index for that sport, do you really think that they would let him compete? Are you being jerks because he’s French? Really I think that is what it boils down to, he’s French and that is why you have a problem with him. “The fat don’t fly”, well NBC why is it that you didn’t make a fat joke about the American bobsled team? Did you not see them? Let me refresh your memory…

No wonder why the USA lost... apparently the fat can bobsled either. But thanks for giving me a new phrase to yell at people. From here on out whenever someone says they can't do something I'm going to yell, "it's because the fat don't fly". They will thus think they are fat and go cry in a corner and I will have thus successfully crushed their spirit. Thanks NBC!
