what fresh hell is this?

Stop her before she destroys us all!

Actual headline from BBC News: Obese blamed for the world's ills. With the requisite ugly, hairy, stretchmarked disembodied stomach.

The gist: Climate change, rising gas prices, and the increase in the cost of food are all the fault of fatties. Yes, the world really is that simple. Why not just round them up and gas them? Along with tall people, people who exercise a lot or have fast metabolisms, poor people who can't afford a healthy diet, and the wealthiest 5% who suck up most of the world's resources, whatever their weight.

Man, I had no idea us fat people were so powerful. Sorry about all the cancer and terrorism that we've apparently been causing.

Sadly, this is par for the course for British publications. You think America has fat bigotry? The UK is 10 times worse, it's why Chloe Marshall (the size 16 contender for Miss England) is such huge news. It would be like a woman with 2 heads vying to be Miss America.
