That's the look you have when you realize just how fat you've become.
I think everybody has lost all hope for the obesity epidemic in this country at this point, just eat whatever you want. And yes, it's an epidemic when it's projected that 50 percent of the U.S. will be obese, not overweight, obese, by 2030. That doesn't mean that we have to drag our household pets down with us which is exactly what's happening. The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention estimates that 50 percent of cats and dogs are overweight, with 20 percent being obese. The association would like people to keep their pets on a diet with plenty of exercise in order to keep them in shape. And believe it or not, stop getting your pets high. They get the munchies just like everybody else. I like that at least somebody wants to keep pets healthy but this is most likely a losing battle. Parents can't stop stuffing their kids faces with unhealthy food, what makes anybody think pet owners are going to stop overfeeding their cats and dogs? Nobody wants to be fat alone, that's just depressing. Besides, nothing keeps a dog under better control than if its stomach drags along the floor. Fluffy isn't jumping up on people who come in the house because he can't get out of his dog bed. You think it's because he's so tired from eating, but he's actually going into shock because you haven't given him his insulin shot. That's right, Fluffy is a diabetic and you're a terrible owner. TL;DR Cats and dogs are keeping pace with humans in the field of being fatasses. What Are They Feeding You? 50% of U.S. Cats and Dogs Are Overweight [The Atlantic] Posted by Atkins under Lifestyle
Little do you know, there could be a millionaire waiting in line right next to you.
With so many people struggling to stay afloat while they're unemployed, a startling number popped up in a recent report by the Congressional Research Service. As it turns out, 2,362 people received unemployment benefits while living in millionaire homes. This report represents tax filers who reported unemployed insurance benefits in 2009; it also doesn't include the 954,000 households that earned incomes greater than $100,000. Researchers believe that removing those with such a high income from unemployment benefits would save $20 million in the next decade. Something new to hear, especially for those of us who are flat broke all the time. I'm poor more often than not and I still consider myself to make enough money to not attempt to claim government benefits. Now that I see everybody is hopping on the "I want free money from the government" train, I might hop on as well. I just hope this goes to show all those people who claim that the government shouldn't look too far into who's receiving government benefits realize that maybe they should. Then money would go to the people who really need it, not those who need some extra cash for coke on the weekends. TL;DR Almost 2,400 millionaires received unemployment benefits in 2009, during one of this country's greatest recessions.

He's confused as to how people don't believe in evolution either.
The U.S. has taken a weird turn to a growing debate between creationists and evolutionists. On one side the evolutionists believe that our world was created after billions of years of evolution. Creationists think that they're heathens and sinners. On the other side creationists believe our world was created by God in our present form, less than 10,000 years ago. Evolutionists call them morons and pedophiles. According to the latest Gallup poll, that belief accounts for 46 percent of U.S. adults. Only 15 percent believe that humans evolved on their own, with no help from God. I don't want to create a religion battle on this website, but oh well, it's about to happen. This, this right here is the reason why gay marriage is voted down at every opportunity. It's because of people who actually believe that the Earth was created 10,000 years ago by a wizard in the sky. This is disregarding all of the evidence that has proven otherwise, simply choosing to believe a story book. I choose what I want to believe, and whether God is real or not is still up in the air for me. But understanding that there has been proof of human life dating back farther than 10,000 years should be enough proof for most people, although my assumption is that those people don't have the internet. For me, I simply refuse to believe that humans were created by an entity who could have made the world of Harry Potter real but chose to give us cancer instead. TL;DR 46 percent of Americans believe that God created humans in the past 10,000 years. Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent Design [Gallup] Posted by Atkins under Lifestyle
Sometimes he can't even believe what he's watching.
It's been long debated that porn may become a problem. It's everywhere and you can get it for free, so obviously some would assume that guys are watching way too much of it. Well according to Dr. Phil Watts, a porn researcher (how do you go about getting that job?) and psychologist, it is a problem as tens of thousands of porn addicts watch up to five hours of porn per day. He claims it's detrimental to relationships as those who watch porn so frequently can "distort the reality of sexuality." What they view as normal isn't normal to everybody else. First off, who the fuck is watching porn for five hours a day? Do these people not have jobs? I couldn't watch porn for five hours a day if I tried to, never mind for the joy of it. I didn't even think anybody got any joy out of watching it after five minutes anyway. Who wants to watch porn for hours on end? I have things to do. Although I will say this, there isn't a guy in this world who hasn't sat down and watched porn out of sheer boredom. Nothing good is on TV, the weather outside is terrible; it's either that or take a nap. The solution to this is simple, find a hobby. You won't sit around watching porn if there's a stamp collection to attend to. TL;DR Tens of thousands of people watch porn for up to five hours per day.

Social media bans at work are giving him a heart attack.
With further integration of social media in everyday aspects of life, survey results from Tomorrow's Workforce show that one in five job-seekers would turn down a job if the employer banned access to social media. That's not to say that everybody wants to use social media outlets all the time, with only 13.3 percent acknowledging they log on daily, but employees don't like the restrictions. Because of this, employers are also working to incorporate more access to social media outlets with one-third allowing full access. In high school there were blocks everywhere when you tried to access anything on the internet. Then I would spend night and day figuring out a way around it, IT would put up another block, and the circle of life would continue, creating the biggest waste of time you could possibly have. I'm an adult, I expect my employer to treat me like one. If you think that I don't deserve to access everything on the internet, I think you should find somebody else who likes your totalitarian view on internet browsing, you Nazi. If you think I don't deserve full access to the internet then I'll build my own company, with blackjack, and hookers. TL;DR One in five job-seekers will turn down a job if the employer bans social media.

 He might know how to write if he wasn't drooling on his desk all the time. When it comes to having good writing skills it turns out that today's youth don't have a damn clue what they're doing. That's even with permission to use spell check and computers during testing. Only 24 percent of eighth grade and 12th grade students could write essays that had proper language and grammar according to the results of a national exam released Friday. Three percent scored advanced and everybody else pretty much had no clue what they were doing. The results also showed a gap in proficiency between ethnicities (Caucasians and Asians scored higher) as well as genders (girls scored higher). After being in public schools my whole life I can tell you that this is entirely accurate. The sheer amount of people who can't even form coherent sentences with proper grammatical structure, never mind write an entire essay, is mind boggling. These are the same people who stand outside and protest that there's no jobs available for anybody because of the economy. It could be the economy, or it could be the fact that you can barely read and write. I'm not even sure who I should be blaming for this, the schools or the parents? I guess a mixture of both would be a good guess as the rest of the world is most likely laughing at Americans now. As if being fat wasn't enough, now we're fat and can't write. We're basically hillbillies. TL;DR Only twenty four percent of teens have proficient writing skills, even when they're allowed to use spell check and computers.

I think it's great how every picture for spanking is in black and white.
If you asked me how to raise a kid I would tell you to beat them until they understand right from wrong. That may not be the best advice according to John Fletcher, editor-in-chief of the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ). He believes, along with other experts, that using physical force to discipline your child leads to mental health issues such as substance abuse, depression and increased aggression. With spanking being such a hot topic in places such as the U.S., it's raising concerns about the affect it's having on children. I'll be the first to tell you to hit your kids, after all it's what my parents did to me and look how great I turned out. Then I remember that my parents never really hit me. My mom would spank me but I grew too big for that by the time I was eight, then it was my dad's job. I don't remember ever actually being hit by my dad, it was the sheer fear from the possibility of it that kept me in line. Maybe that's what kids need; no actual physical force, just fear. Fear keeps everybody in line, and fear of your dad beating you until you have detached retinas will keep you from getting high and accidentally lighting your grandmother on fire. TL;DR In Canada experts are trying to ban spanking as they believe it causes mental health issues in children as they get older.

I always assumed the point of women's magazines were to make the women reading them feel bad about themselves.
A top-selling magazine in Germany banned the use of professional models in 2009. The idea was to do away with ultra-thin models and use amateur models instead to feature only "real women" in the magazine. Switching over to amateur models has proven to be a challenge though, creating more work for photographers and stylists who have to work with inexperienced models, not to mention that it hasn't helped the magazine as readers still complain that the models are too thin. Sales have also remained in a decline, so abandoning professional models has done nothing for the magazine. This is what happens when you completely listen to the consumer. Granted you should listen to them for some things, but the best tool at your disposal will always be analytics. Forget what plump women who can't stop stuffing their faces with food long enough to realize that the only reason they feel bad about themselves is because they don't know the meaning of the words "healthy diet" say, go with what you know works. You think I like finding pictures of half-naked girls with big boobs every day? Of course I do, but it also gives me a reason to shut down feminists who try to argue with me. "I don't post pictures of beautiful women because I want to" I say, "I do it because that's what brings in the readers, complain to them. Now go shave your armpits." TL;DR A top-selling magazine is considering reversing its ban on professional models because amateur "real" models are proving to be much more of a hassle and readers still don't like them.

 There's no meat in this picture, therefore it is an abomination. As time goes on, with more and more people inhabiting the planet, there will eventually be overcrowding without enough food for everybody. Leading water scientists believe that as soon as the year 2050, everybody may have to become a vegetarian in order to feed the extra two billion people expected to be alive. The reason being that there just isn't enough water to produce the crops needed to feed everybody on the planet. With the droughts in the U.S. and Russia, the U.N. is already preparing for a food crisis that would severely impact developing countries that rely on imports. As time goes on, unless conditions improve, global food shortages will only become worse. I will eat people before I change over to a vegetarian diet. The easiest way to give everybody the opportunity to always eat meat is to simply eat the vegetarians, I hate them anyway. Sure there are a couple who aren't that bad, but the majority consistently try to make me feel bad for eating meat. It's not my fault that most animals taste delicious, if I wasn't supposed to eat them they wouldn't taste like heaven. Have any vegetarians even had bacon before? If a pig couldn't be turned into bacon I'm not sure what other purpose in life it would have. And before anybody even thinks to say I could always eat a tofu burger, you can burn in hell. I'm not a fan of eating things that taste like a goat shit into my mouth. TL;DR By 2050 the entire world may have to switch to a vegetarian diet due to a water shortage.

The blurred letters are only there to confuse drunk people.
Urban Outfitters have been known to get in trouble for making clothes with slogans that may be offensive to some people, so you would think they would stray away from that. Well if you thought that you thought wrong as they're in hot water again for selling T-shirts that say "I Vote For Vodka," "USA Drinking Team," or "I Drink You're Cute." With the majority of Urban Outfitters' demographic being between 18 and 24, many people are upset that they're targeting kids in college, especially when alcohol is associated with increased rates of sexual activity. I'm not sure what parents are thinking their kids are doing in college but I'll break it down for you, they're having sex. Not the kind of sex that involves a man and woman in love either, the kind that involves groups of people who want to explore their sexuality because their parents wouldn't let them wear humorous T-shirts. Not only that but they're drinking too, probably enough to kill a horse. So when you think that telling your daughter she can't wear a T-shirt that says "I Drink You're Cute" to college always remember this, she will be drunk with her ankles pinned behind her ears for an audience before the end of the first night of college. TL;DR Parents are upset that Urban Outfitters made T-shirts about drinking when all kids do is drink.
