I didn’t mean size 14 people are fat. I just mean that according to the express I’m going to suddenly grow by catching a virus. So for me, a big growth will be from a size 10 to 14. This is going to happen anyway though unless I cut down on binging on cookies lol.
This was on the Beeb website too, but they said that this scientist’s work was well known to his peers for a couple of decades, and one of them said if it’s such a miracle why no one else bothered investigating.
There’s a reason they use ’stories’ like this – its because it costs them nothing. Why pay Reuters or AP for a huge breaking story of world importance and the associated photos like every other newspaper does when you can retype an obscure Wikipedia page instead?
Notice the Express almost NEVER has a photo to accompany their story for this reason. It’s always for the companion story and either a free press release one of someone who’s died, or a celeb one from the archive that costs peanuts and taken a year ago.
LOL Sarah – I know, I am beginning to think that I don’t need to catch any virus; my chocolate eating habits this month have been a bit out of control!
Maybe I should start James M’s suggestion and only eat celery….
Why are they praising a young driver? I thought my fellow under-25 drivers were all idiots and scumbags and must be banned from the roads now! Or is that only men, not blonde pretty well-off women?
ROFLMAO!!!
Once you’ve got the virus, do these fat cells multiply only when you’ve just eaten cream cakes?
So everytime I see a fat person I have to yell, “Infadel! Son of Satan! Put down the Doughnuts!?”
I love that I could possibly wake up tommorrow and find myself a size 14 instead of a size 10. Nooooooo!
Stupid Newspaper.
But this virus can be overcome by Apple Juice, three cups of tea and a pill, so what’s the worry?
Hey! I’m not fat! I’ve got Aesthetically Stunted Syndrome.
In fact, I’ve got such a big case of A.S.S. you’re probably going to have to steer clear in case you catch it.
Oh dear me.
I’m surprised the scientists were not called “Boffins.”
Anyway, as Nick has pointed out, won’t grapes kill the virus? Or is that cancer?
Either way, what a ridiculous headline, in a ridiculous newspaper.
The dead blond has travelled in a north westerly direction to towards the top of the page.
Wait a minute Sarah – I am a size 14 and 5ft 9 and I am definitely not fat.
If I ever hit a size 18 then I would be in trouble….
But if that happens then no matter – the Express says I can pay £1 per day and drop down to a 6 in no time!
Do people actually BELIEVE this shite?!!!

I’m tapped out – they have just gone beyond parody.
HAHA
Tragic! All of it!
BBBBBUUUUUUULLLLLLLSSSSSSSSHHHHHHIIIITTTTTT!
its not a disease
Grapes stop heart attacks.
Apple juice prevents Alzheimers.
So what stops The Obesity Virus? I hope it is cake.
I’m obese, and i’m so relieved I can now blame a virus, and not my binge-eating and lack of exercise.
Dan: Celery is the cure for the Obesity Virus. There’s a catch though: you need to eat 3kg of it a day.

I could do with a couple of days off work: I think I’ll call in fat.

Just for fun try substituting ‘young lawyer’ with ‘young black man/gypsy/Pole etc…’
