Last night I heard that Alex Trebek, the host of Jeopardy, had had a heart attack. Now, you all know who Trebek is -- nice looking fella, slim and trim, probably goes to the gym every day.
And he had a heart attack.
You know who's still kicking at age 74? Dom DeLuise. This photo is from 2005. There's NOTHING in Google about HIM ever having had a heart attack.
You really want to know just how ludicrous the EVERYONE MUST LOSE WEIGHT NOW!!!! movement is?
There is apparently a move afoot for Santa Claus to slim down because a fat Santa is a poor role model for children.
I kid you not.
It seems to me that a "role model" represents someone kids want to be like when they grow up. Today it's usually sports figures. How many kids have you known who want to be like Santa Claus? To a five-year-old, that's like saying "I want to be God when I grow up." Except that a five-year-old thinks he's God now.
There's only one thing you can do with this kind of idiocy if your name isn't "Bill O'Reilly", and that's.....
VIRAL MARKETING!!
An enterprising PR firm has instituted the Keep Santa Fat campaign, with proceeds from the sale of its branded gear and donations for every petition signature going to Second Harvest. So go sign and help a family that doesn't have the luxury of caring that Santa Claus is too fat.
And besides, he's fictional.
Or is that a spoiler?
