Ha ha! That is hilarious!

They’re not masterminds.
“OK, you take bomb, right? And you put in backpack.
Then you get on bus and you blow yourself up.”
“Why do I have to blow myself up? Why don’t I put…”
“Who’s the fucking mastermind here? Me or you?”

:thumbsup:

The text is great. I would like to see/hear more of the comic.
The "music" I have NO interest in - at all.

Mass exodus to Europe and Asia, anyone?

I think it's a wake up call for a lot of people I know. It's just the sad state that America is in. We think we're so perfect while we're far from it. You know that whole, "You have to acknowledge the problem before you treate it" saying? Well, how are we ever gonna fix this country if we keep thinking we're so damned perfect.

Thank you, Nancy.

Great song.

And I apologize if this has been milled over a million times...but what can we do about the obesity? Yes it is a big problem, but it is not the country's problem, or the economy's problem, it is tens of millions of individuals' problem, and nothing more. I for one will never let it happen to my body, and I pity those who do, but it is both their choice and their responsibility. There is a market for that type of food, so it will be produced. For the government to limitations on fattening foods sounds pretty comunist to me. If you want to keep a healthy body, it's your and only your job.

Good presentation. If you just laugh at the lyrics the first couple times but continue listening eventually it will hit you on the head no matter how obtuse you are. Lots of (most?) kids pay no attention to the world around them perhaps this song will make a difference to a small number. I can see it causing kids to become more disrespectfull and loathing of the population in general though.

Actually it is the country's problem and not the individual's since taxpayers are going to end up paying a LOT of the healthcare costs for those who make themselves ill as a result of their dietary habits and life choices. The truth is many of those people will end up on welfare (SSI, State medical coverage, etc.) because they are undereducated and cannot afford to pay for their own healthcare, or because they become so sick they cannot work. Who pays when a 450-pound diabetic woman with an eighth-grade education and no income needs a live-in health aid? You do.

Yeah i like this song. Sometimes the best places to make political/social statements is through music and humor.

Exactly. Since Denmark has free health care the Government does a lot to prevent people from getting obese and thereby keeping the costs down. The latest efford it so force people to work out by giving them a "prescription of workout" as they call it. Luckily the "prescription of workout" project has been a great success here! There are many senior citizens that work out at my gym :thumbsup:

I have this album, and this is the best song on it. The other songs, while good, are nothing as good as this is.

When I first heard this song on my XM Radio I had to get the album. Overall I thought it was worth the purchase.

I love songs that hit with the hammer of truth.




They are also doing this in a few states here in the US. I think it was about a week ago I had read about this in a paper.

I think this is a wonderful idea, because I simply cannot understand how large of a percentage chunk of the population is considered overweight , let alone obese.

It doesnt take that much effort in your life to think, geee.. should I be eating this?

Ah yes, Aqua was their name. I'm not a fan of lazyboy, but he has some points and is way better than stupid Aqua.

Looks like some Europeans will be facing the same problem.

Definitely. It's the negative effect of us becoming "Americanized" as we call it :(

heh, awesome MSD. After listening to the rap I read your rant in the same poetic mannerism.. and it works out quite nicely. :)

I don't know. The times I've been in Europe the food was so good I found it almost irresistable. I think if I lived there I would gain some weight. :)

Right now America is just a celebrity, people are people, there have been idiots, jerks, obese, and lazy people for centuries. People just tend to pick on America because she's in the spot light. In conclusion, it has nothing do to with America but more the current trends of humanity. Don't blame us just cause we got their first.
