Fat Bottomed News

Whenever they have a story about obesity on the television news, they always show a lot of fat people's torsos walking around, but they cut their heads out of frame.

What's the problem here anyway? Are these people so unsightly they don't want to show us their hideous faces? Surely, there are some pretty portly folks out there. I've seen 'em. Why can't the cameras find 'em?

Or is it that the oh-so sensitive newsmakers are sparing these people from a shamelessly embarrassing expose about their weight on TV? Like a 300 pounder in tight denim jeans may not be aware they're...ya know...kinda big.

Personally, I think it would be more embarrassing to find out your fat ass was good enough to make the 6 o'clock news, but not your face.
