Because plenty of famous people aren’t talented, thats why.

And you have characters like Lady Gaga, who can sing quite beautifully when she wants to, but what made her famous wasn’t her voice, but her showmanship (riculous meat dresses, show costumes, running errands while “coincidentally” dressed in a weird way, etc).

I’m surprised that they didn’t just steal a boat/yacht/schooner and head into international waters. International waters has to be closer to NY than Canada.

I’m not personally upset by anything she said because it has nothing to do with me.

Oh please. This has everything to do with other people and nothing at all to do with her personal body. The fact is that Amy is on the heavy side, and zaftig if you want to be polite about it.

In other words, if she lost 20-30lb she wouldn’t look anywhere near anorexic, and would still be considered healthy.

“Tiny percentage” really isn’t the key. The CBC has regular stories about people with kids that have expensive rare diseases and whose treatment isn’t covered by the provincial healthcare plans. And if parents want it covered, they pretty much have to resort to lobbying and CBC sob stories to get a public outcry.

If they were in “religious conflict”, they would have a problem with being gay. But from what the commenter said, they’re fine with being gay and just have an issue with gay marriage.

Raspberry gelato may be your jam, though. I don’t know if Ben & Jerry makes it, but Haagen Dazs does.

First of all, Stockholm Syndrome is not a drug, so bad analogy.

Second of all, it’s entirely possible to be against gay marriage and not be insane. These people may be against marriage altogether, and just be in favor of civil unions instead.

It’s possible if you survive on beans and rice until you have enough saved up. And I’m saying this as a person who will have spend almost 2 paychecks by the end of this month on dental work I knew I had to get done since January.

As a person also with shitty and crooked teeth, the best investment I made (aside from cutting down on the chocolate eating) is one of those pressurized water flossers.

There are many brands out there, so I am not going to hawk for Waterpik specifically since I don’t think the brand matters much. Pressurized water…

Cosmetic procedures to alter an otherwise healthy and well-functioning body is not “medical care”. That’s why boob jobs and ass implants aren’t covered.

Or vision coverage for that matter.

The real problem is that she does get attention, both from venues and from the media. How this person is able to get work as a comedian for 20+ years is beyond me.

The traumatizing part was that it was solid, so whatever girl expelled the beast question clearly did not have diarrhea. I mean, it’s the sort of baby-sized loaf you only envision being capable of exiting (after great pain) from your vagina, not your anus. I don’t know how she was able to walk out of there after that.

If anything, this proves that people (not just crazy Hollywood scientologists) will do anything to avoid doing the hard work required to lose weight.

I see what you did there, and I’m onto you.

I propose a more logical system that it not as dumb as treating some people “of color” while others not of color. Unless you’re freaking transparent, you are colored.

Or like a normal person you go to the libary or a fitness centre and ask somebody to show you targeted exercises for your problem area.

I would not have believed it until I saw one, in a library bathroom. I swear to God, it was the size of a loaf of bread so huge that it would not flush. Never have I been so glad to not be a janitor.

POC is as annoying and weird as “colored people”. So no to POC and no to “colored people”
