that's good: unfounded, impotent rage is a great cardio workout.

This is untrue. Aliens are always depicted as skinny - sometimes even skeletal. They wouldn't get that way with a high-fat diet.

Perhaps they're coming here because fat is scarce on their world, and thus a valuable resource?

or maybe their home planet is finally starting to receive broadcasts of designing women and they got that universally awkward boner for delta burke.

Maybe they are vegetarian and so we don't need to worry?

There's a chapter in my first book in 2004 where I suggest it is not the fatties but actually we nicely-marbled folk who'll be most highly prized.

Nope, the fatties will be able to hide for months with nothing but a 55 gallon drum of water and some vitamin supplements. The skinny people will have to venture out for supplies.

Well it's true. Fat is high in calories, which you'd need after a multi-century trip in cryo, fat people are easier to catch, and eating fatties is less likely to affect the breeding population, ensuring the food supply remains stable.

This doesn't make sense. I grew up on a ranch with cattle and pigs and those who were the most healthy and fit were the ones I looked forward to eating. Muscular, but trim.

I don't enjoy eating lard.

They'll eat the fat ones, but they'll enslave the lean, muscular ones and make them mine for gold in radioactive regions. Which fate is worse?

Wonder how many of the fatties were also "outraged" over Wall-E also. Maybe they should do something about it so they can be less outraged.

No, no, no. Everyone knows they will eat the children first. Young = tender. Old and fat = gristly and gamey. Everyone keep breeding like rabbits and we will be fine.

I recall an ad campaign for a gym in the US that was almost identical to this one like a decade ago that generated some controversy.

If it's true, then bring on the aliens! Fat people know the risks! I say, let 'em get eaten!

If this was that alternate universe that Donna Noble from Doctor Who found herself in, America would be nothing but those aliens made from peoples' fat.

If the aliens are black cricket fans, can we tide them over with a bunch of Kentuckians in a bucket?

Local resident Alison Winter added: 'I am shocked and disgusted that they feel they have the right to blatantly discriminate like this.'

Unless you're talking about the aliens having discriminating palates, I do not think those words mean what you think they do.

You can exercise off fat, but you can't cure stupid, I guess.

Exactly. You need to render the fatties down for to french the fries.

If Signs, Independence Day, and War of the Worlds have proven anything, it's that we don't need to worry.

All we need to fight off the aliens are:

1.) people armed with Super Soakers

2.) people who can use Macs reasonably well

3.) people who have a head cold

Nothing like some greasy, bacon flavored tears.

If you're offended by this ad, it probably applies to you. If it applies to you, do something about it instead of being a lard-encrusted burden on society and throwing a jiggly fit every time someone points it out to you.

ok, so the fat ones will be eaten and the strong ones will be subjected to forced labor.

Does that mean all the scrawny people like me get to be part of the breeding programs? Sweet!
