Kids today are fat.
And not in the good way. We are told that kids of today are considerably more obese than we were when we were kids, which I guess says something for a diet of Space Dust, Milky Bars and Hubba Bubba.
There are apparently many things to blame for the fat kid crisis. Things like computer games, television adverts for fast food, and the fact that most of them are utter lazy cunts.
This problem is only being exacerbated by the introduction of this new fad for “Heelies”. For those of you that live in a cave or somewhere on the outskirts of civilization, like Basingstoke, these are shoes with a little wheel in them so that kids can roll from place to place instead of walking. I think you can probably see the link I am suggesting here. More rolling. Less walking. More fat fucking kids.
In a society where children are going to get fatter and fatter, we do not need to be inventing toys which make their lives more sedate. This is like introducing the ‘Segue’ to Americans. We need to make trendy shoes with lead implants. Or teach all dogs to chase little people, a bit harsh on the midgets I’ll admit, but they have a life of adversity already so probably won’t notice the extra imposition. Let us be honest, nothing induces a higher heart rate and spurt of strenuous activity like the threat of being mauled by a rabid dog. Anything to bring on a bit of a sweat in the little fat fuckers.
I have long since advocated putting e-coli or some other wasting disease into chocolate bars, just to help people who have zero will power cut down on the calories. It is akin to Pavlov’s dog. Once our children associate ‘sweets’ with a five day dose of the shits and getting their meals through an intravenous drip, I am sure they will cut down.
Add this to blood thirsty dogs on every street corner and I guarantee you in five years our kids will have a body fat ratio we can be proud of. Those that are left, anyway.

Imagine the results at the 2012 Olympics with your suggested fat fighting training techniques, we as a nation could finally make the father of modern athletics Seb Coe proud.

Hmm rabid starving dogs and choclate full of e-coli…. Can we PLEASE make a sport out of this? I for one, would be more than happy to change career into being a bookie if we could have bets like which kid makes it to the loo before either being savaged by the dog, explosive diaorreah filling his pants or both. If we could add in a busy A road between the kid and the loos, that would be even better.
GH.

PS - It would definitely make Romford Dog Track “the” place to be!

Now although I’m in favour of anything that is harmful to midgets (it’s not right and they can’t be trusted) I have spotted a slight flaw in your otherwise admirable plan.
“Once our children associate ‘sweets’ with a five day dose of the shits and getting their meals through an intravenous drip, I am sure they will cut down.”
Um, surely “getting their meals through an intravenous drip” equals a perfect life for the wee fat bastards.
Otherwise, spot on.

Space Dust! My mouth’s going tingle, tingle at the thought of it.
I was too embarrassed to buy my own, so I used to steal Katy’s.

one of the fat fuckers ran over my toes with a wheelie shoe a few months ago. utter cunts
June 14th, 2007 at 11:03 am
…and don’t forget putting fatter, heavier kids on wheels in shopping centres etc is just asking for trouble! Could also be very very funny if they get out of control though….

My Mrs is 28 and she’s just bought a pair of heelies…

Mr Motivator - Hello. So long as they introduce the ‘chased by dogs’ running event.
GH - Crossing busy roads… hmmmm, that has potential.
S Hamilton - You are right! A drip attached to a treadmill it is!
Chairwoman - it is for cases like this that Childline was invented.
Eliza - I hope you reprimanded them?
Griff - That is a good point, inertia can be a powerful thing.
AFC 30K - I know a good divorce lawyer if you are interested?

brill, love it, totally agree
although I love those wheelies (not being a parent of course) and hear they do adult sizes too, brilliant

I hate those heelies, it makes the children look like little floating demons suddenly careering towards you when you’re expecting them to be walking normally.

i was enjoying a quiet stroll, en famille, through a peaceful National Trust property recently. We were intrigued by the sound of a small but powerful motor approaching - revealed to be a 3 year old on a fucking battery powered car. shoot the parents, i say.

The solution is to introduce more bullying at schools. In may day, lardy kids were chased around, taunted and beaten up for their dinner money, therefore depriving the over-sized bastards of the ability to purchase sugary snacks.
Perhaps the thin kids could be issued with rottweilers with which to chase the fat kids?
June 14th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Obviously I meant “in my day” not “may day”. Once-a-year bullying is good for no one.

Legislation to make sugar a controlled substance, say for anyone under 18. Not perfect, but might reduce the number of fat kids to a more manageable number for the otherwise brilliant suggestions put forward here.

I think it’s so cute when European types start bemoaning the adiposity of their children. Y’all are amateurs. Also, while out with a friend in California recently I saw a pallid, rotund group gliding mysteriously across the ground. I figured them for oddly robust ghosts at first, but realized the horrible truth - a Segue club. Fortunately the friend was flying his remote airplane and we were able to buzz them several times “accidentally.”

I’m all for the rabid dogs, but put e. coli in my chocolate and you’ll have one livid cubana.

It makes me laugh seeing all people moaning about fat kids. Lets look at this realistically shall we - kids are fed by who? Their parents. Kids sit at home being lazy because who doesn’t mind? Their parents. But then you get the excuse “well i don’t give my kid junk food, he buys it” Who gives the kid the money? The parents.
I do understand that kids get pocket money- i got 50p every saturday to buy sweets when i was 10. Kids these days seem to get tenners, and you can’t blame inflation!

I like the spartan approach - leave them for the wolves.
Hmm,
This would likely lead to overweight wolves dieing of heart disease.
How about locking them in the basement and starving them instead?
June 14th, 2007 at 9:30 pm
Mr Angry,
Love the thinking - may have to introduce at the school I work at! Fat kids normally have fat parents as well, so maybe we can introduce the rabid dogs to them as well. One of the kids at our school managed to fall ‘off’ her wheelie shoes and dislocate her shoulder - ha ha!

I feel like my childhood has been wasted because Heelies weren’t invented in time.
They don’t know they’re born.
June 15th, 2007 at 1:57 am
Oh, Will! At least your childhood wasn’t ruined by having to wear tie-on skates while all the other kids had roller boots!
OT -
The govment could wipe out obesity in a month if it taxed sugar and take-away junk as heavily as it does fuel, fags and funjuice.
June 15th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
Totally. Fucking. Hilarious. And I hate those little shits on Heelies, too. I often just want to push them into traffic. However, since I’m a mother, and I wouldn’t want someone to push my little shit into traffic, I resist the urge. Well, most of the time anyway.

Stop abusing fat kids. Gordon Brown used to be one of them. Oh bugger, what do I mean used to be? You wont hear him giving speeches on fatness. How can he give self rightous distribes on having a lard arse? Have you seen the FAT CUNT?! Thinking abut it, Prescott and the blair hog can’t do it either. Oh what will mrs thunder thighs soft guts do now she aint at number ten? Give lectures in the USA?

Rrrrr!
Excuse my French, but I fucking HATE those stupid bloody shoes. There’s always some horrible little shit of a kid rolling across the supermarket floor in them, two seconds away from knocking an adult or a display of food flying - and every single time, the parent totally ignores this and the glares from people trying to shop.
There’s a time and a place for toys like that, a busy supermarket is not it.
