Skinny but FAT

I refer to the ST Urban issue (Thurs, 13 March 2008) .


Its headlining article was about annoying fat deposits that won't go away even for gym bunnies and celebrities.

Look, as much as this is a personal-trainer and plastic surgeon-directed promo masquerading as a coffee table-banter article, this is a sad day in the already sunk-low reputation of Urban.

Celebrities spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for personal trainers, personal cooks, pills , diets and plastic surgery. And are still accused of 'Arm Scallops', 'Neck Wattle, 'Bat Wings', 'Buffalo Humps' and 'Fat Knees'.

How about Mere Mortals who have neither the perfect genes to begin with nor that million dollar job and product endorsement deal?


Will any amount of gyming help?(If they can even afford a gym membership or a condo) Will these poor lads and ladies have the means to afford an arm and a leg just to rid a bit of Tummy? Or god-forbid (!) 'Arm Scallops, 'Neck Wattle', 'Bat Wings', Buffalo Humps' and 'Fat Knees'?

C'mon! Havent' we all have better issues to deal with? Like Education, Moral upbringing, complicated relationships, job challenges and stuff?

It's articles like these that send millions around the world on a spiral decent on personal self-worth and bending over toilet bowls and throwing up after meals almost a trend itself.

Whether plastic surgery is the New Black (magic) to perfection, is not up to me to comment. To each his or her own.

But people who earn that much and have so much disposable income in the first place, normally don't bother about having six-packs or flab-less arms.

They are too busy fattening their bank balance.


Q

" Will these poor lads and ladies have the means to afford an arm and a leg just to rid a bit of Tummy?"
