It's too bad really, because it lends credence to the "fat people should just exercise more" thought process, supported by pure fiction.

Right, they should go on and off wacky (and often dangerous; thanks Atkins) diets and pop pills. Or... maybe turn off MTV/VH1/any entertainment news/Hollywood, keep the exercise to keep the heart etc. healthy, and be happy with who they are.

For most obese people exercise is painful and its easier to sit on the couch eating than it would be to put down the heaping plate of chilly fries and go out side and walk for a bit. No people are lazy by nature. That is one of the reasons we have just a problem with weight in this country.

Its no really laziness, its about life style and most people are simply not willing to invest the time and effort, because it often is painful to do so, into changing things.

SO they sit at home, stuffing their faces, feeling bad about their weight, eat some more, get depressed, eat more, feel even worse, eat more, etc. The cycle is set and seldom broken.

...back to the topic of BSG - Executive orders from Tom Zarek - will wonders never cease?

I thought this was out of character for him.

Really? Seemed in line with his early terrorist activities, to me.

I recall an interview w2here they fat suited jamie bamber for lay down your burdens, but Eick told him at the end of the episode to gain 25 pounds for next season. Then when they resigned the contract, Eick told Bamber to "Loose the weight or else."

Azselendor · #**166** October 29th, 2006, 12:27 AM

never mind, I found the article and reread it, Eick was telling Bamber to do that as a prank, and they just fatsuited him for 7 episodes

Eick is actually a pretty serious clown. I would not believe that he would be serious about gaining weight just to tell him to loose it. He is a ham so take a - oops, read your second post.

Yup, that would be something that Eirk would do. I recall reading about some of his pranks somewhere but cannot find the site now.

Damn google.

See now a fat suit makes more sense to me, but I read something about Apollo having to put on weight and since it didn't flat out explain it was a joke I of course assumed it must be serious.

Gotta agree with you 100% here. That's EXACTLY the kind of sneaky, vindictive, terrorist-mentality act I'd expect from Zarek.
