A couple of points in no particular order:

1. Fat shaming is akin to a criminal act in North America. Part of the whole 'abdication of personal responsibility' that has evolved over the past few decades. Ironically, it's okay to hate on skinny models for promoting a body type that often induces eating disorders in those trying to achieve it. What's good for one end of the spectrum is apparently not okay at the other...

2. I agree that overeating leading to obesity can be a symptom of other issues. That said, we're in full blown crisis mode. Obesity isn't just about fat... it's about heart disease, diabetes, and other related medical issues. Health care is going to crumble under the weight of it all - no pun intended.

It's a case of 'the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few'. If fat shaming PREVENTS a new generation of obesity, then the price as a society is worth it.

We should provide programs for those struggling with obesity NOW but we need to adopt a tough love approach.

It's part of my larger belief that by protecting stupid people from themselves we virtually guarantee our eventual extinction.

Rant over... and moving on... thx.

Okay, I feel a rant coming on...

Overweight men = obese
Overweight woman = BBW

Fat on anyone is not attractive and maybe we need to get back to fat shaming. A medical crisis is unfolding because we're too afraid to hurt people's feelings.

I think GoPro is starting to become the generic name for any sport video camera in the same way Kleenex or Aspirin have become the de facto names for tissues or acetaminophen.

Weird... I think I saw a short very similar to this about four years ago...

Damn, that's pretty clever...

As superpowers go, the ability to throw your face at someone could catch the bad guys by surprise...

I haven't been interested in Star Wars or Star Trek for years, but I would pay to see this sort of crazy alternate reality mashup if it were infused with the right degree of humour.

"No matter who wins... J.J. Abrams loses... a franchise."

Thumbs up to this...
There's a particular website -- no names but you know the one -- where dumbass stuff like this pops up with increasing regularity. Or, they regurgitate some bit of common sense that been around for decades and pass it off as a previously unknown 'life hack'.

EVERY parent does this to their kid.
I mean that's what I heard anyway...

This is essentially Star Wars re-mixed as an action comedy via some quick cuts and a catchy nostagic soundtrack. It's the same principle as all those 're-mixed' movies trailers that were so popular two or three years ago.

Hugh Jackman... tall, good-looking, superfit, multi-talented singer/actor, sense of humour... I'd hate him if he wasn't so goddam likable...

Sooooo... as a white guy am I allowed to laugh when one non-white guy mocks other non-white races/cultures? What's the rule here?

Ah... wasn't aware of the source material. Watched the original.. still annoying to me though...

I was honestly afraid watching this...
