Fat and fit? How about a 300lb female triathelete?
Or a fat trainer who sued Jazzercise for discrimination and won?
Or a record breaking open-water swimmer?
Or a 315lb female football player?
Or a maybe an Olympic weight lifter?... [more]

Ben Popken is a dork. He was using photos from Flickr without giving credit for months before getting called on the carpet. I've also taken issue with his "edgy style". I love the concept of The Consumerist, and I think it's thrived in spite of its editor.

This thread reminds me of a story. I grew up in East TN, and knew a cop who worked on the sex crimes unit in Johnson City who shared this delightful gem with me. Some farmer had called in a complaint about someone killing his chickens. On and off for two weeks, he would wake up to find a dead chicken outside of the coop. Several chickens had been killed, but never more than one at a time. It was too clean to be the work of animals. They set up surveillance, and it turned out to be a chicken... [more]
