No that is all of it.

Shit. I don't think I'm fat enough! Where's the goddamn fondue and cheez-its!

lol...?

criticalthudsays...

it would be more logical for people to look in the mirror and think they look too stupid, reinforcing the obvious.

Wtf was that all about?!

Did Nixon look in the mirror and think he was fat?

The happiest people i know don't watch TV, and don't read the news.

All news is FUD. Fear Uncertainty and Doubt. We have to watch hour after hour of suffering in Haiti so we can be sympathetic. But why? Why do we have to watch their suffering? Who does it help?

All entertainment is about watching one train wreck after another. It's all about the fail, we want to see the losers lose - that's what makes it fun.

It's pretty hard to be positive if you're brain is always soaking up the negative.
