The World is Fat

If Thomas Friedman ever writes a book about the global obesity crisis titled The World is Fat!, I call "Not it" for being on the cover.

Can you imagine if they used a stock photo for that book cover? Some plus-sized model standing there with her arms crossed, smiling. And behind her, there's a picture of a globe covered in ice cream. She thought she was posing for the Lane Bryant catalog, but instead she becomes the symbol for the obesity pandemic.

Or worse, what if they just used the "Before" picture taken from the ad for a diet pill? Some sad, shirtless guy with his belly sticking out, holding a newspaper, flanked by the words: The World is Fat! by Thomas Friedman.

Or what if they used a skinny guy? That would probably blow your fucking mind.
