Fatematou admitted that sometimes the girls cried at the treatment.

"Of course they cry - they scream," she said.

"We grab them and we force them to eat. If they cry a lot we leave them sometimes for a day or two and then we come back to start again.

They're going to give those girls an eating disor...

Oh.

A culture that reveres girls over boys for once, and this is how they show it? The article was disgusting and horrifying yet full of some truly golden quotes. What a conundrum; do I see only the sadness of the situation, or can I also laugh at the following without feeling guilty for doing so?

"They are proud and show off their good size to make men dribble. Don't you think that's good?"

I wasn't aware that wives needed to go to farms to do that.

/Thank God I'm semi-anonymous on this internet-thingy.

Woman: "I've tried everything, and I just couldn't keep those extra 200 pounds off! It started to affect my marriage."

Man: "She was too big for me, and I'll sleep with anything!"

Woman: "The Abdomatrix, the Thigh-asizer, tummy stapling, I've had my mouth sewn up, my hands chopped off, you name it, I've tried it!"

Man: "Except for exercising and eating right, porky!"

Woman: "That's right, honey! Then I found The Dormatron! Using a new technology called bio-rhythmic-subconscious-gymnastics, the Dormatron exercises you while you sleep. Just strap in your arms and legs, put on The Dormatron headset, then wrap yourself in the special high-voltage electric blanket. Turn it on to 11 and burn those pounds away while a relaxing nights sleep! Now that I've lost 280 pounds, my husbands all mine again!"

Man: "That's right honey, no more escort services for me!"

Male Voice: "Don't be fat a day longer than you have to! Remember, being fat can even ruin a romantic cruise! Call Dormatron now, at 1-800-sleepofflard. Or visit sleepofflard.com , and sleep your way to a thinner, happier you!"

****PSA***

I have to go back to work now, but I plan to read this thread later. Please don't post any pictures of morbidly fat people in this thread.

****END OF PSA****

if a girl was thin she was considered poor, and would not be respected

Ohh you poor girls, come here, I'll console you.

Just another form of body oppression and ideas of beauty used against women. Nothing new.

Now now cola, let's not act like there aren't similar views by women toward men.

"It takes all kinds of critters to make farmer Vincent's fritters!"

(/obscure reference)

I asked her if she ever felt cruel, beating and force feeding children?

"No! It's not cruel to make girls fat!" she said.

"Me, I've seen 10-year old girls give birth. I tell you, 10 years old!

WTF?! What does one have to do with the other?

My wife was thin and hot but turned into a fat, lazy, heating, drunken biatch. I hate her.

Ninja_Pancakes Seriously, they should be invaded by a more advanced culture and taught that their ways are WRONG!

Damn straight. Lemme know when you find one.


A pity these people don't have adequate access to the internet. They can find a wide variety of sexy women on there. (NSFA)

"I tell them if you want to find a man, a European or a Mauritanian, stay thin, it's better for you."

Are European and Mauritanian new genders? Different species? Please, someone help me out here.

"Me, I've seen 10-year old girls give birth. I tell you, 10 years old!

good people.

cheating biatch

I'd be glad to start a Silicon Valley Airlift to help beautify Mauritania. We're overrun with these goddesses here. "BBW Surplus," I believe they call it...

::runs before getting flattened by some fat-rights activist::

Anybody else remember the lyrics to the Rev. Billy C. Wirtz's, 'Roberta'?

Fooshnik

Wow! The woman in the pic is a looker!

Oh yeah.

And what's the difference between a wife and a girlfriend?

That's right: about 20 pounds.

Not just africans, african-americans like thier fatties too.

Here in the US the fat farm is called, Ohio State University.

I make them eat lots of dates,

Come on, tell me you guys wouldn't like this.

"Me, I've seen 10-year old girls give birth. I tell you, 10 years old!

WTF?! What does one have to do with the other?

10 year olds are fat enough to be attractive, make men dribble and bear children in this culture?

As Murphy would say: "Holy Crap!"

"They get used to it in the end."

That's what Kobe says.

Too skinny is unattractive. Too fat is unattractive. The best girls, by my tastes, are the ones with enough meat on their bones that their ribs aren't sticking out. Like BBW Lites. Do a GIS for Kerry Marie or Ines Cudna to see what I mean.

wife fattening farm?

Mauritania has problems we wish we had.

/likes 'em lean

too funny groundhog

NICE! Now we have a place to export all our fat chicks to, and they can send us all their fit ones.

It's not surprising-- cultures tend to hold whatever is most difficult to attain as the beauty standard. When most people worked outside and got dark, being pasty and fat was in for Europeans. When most people sit indoors all day and get fat, being tan and thin became popular.

Now, of course, regular women can't compete because the women they're compared to often aren't even real-- they've had plastic surgery, breast enhancements, and airbrushing as well.

Errr...that GIS would be NSFW, sorry I didn't mention it earlier.

Non-western cultures are stupid.

"We're fed up of fat women here," said 19-year-old shop owner Yusuf.

Amen, brother. A-m-e-n.

Well, keep in mind that it's basically being considered a sign of wealth to be pudgy. Hey, it worked in Europe for centuries.

Sounds like a great reverse psychology ploy. "Honey, you're a bit too thin. Ever think about go to one of those fattening farms?" Use this preemptively before she asks "Do these pants make my butt look big?"

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read

Great, this has the potential to turn into a flamewar between 'womyn' and conservatives...

Freedom of chouce.. gotta love it

"...Rosie O'Donnell weeps with joy, immediately announces plan to move to Mauritania."

This just in. Mauritania found to posess Weapons of Mass Consumption.

"Obesity is seen as a sign a husband cares for his wife"

Well well, Guess I love my wife afterall.

Seymour Gibbs: Motel Hell rules!

Security Guard: All right son, I'm going to need those two hams back.
Chris Griffin: I...I don't have any hams.
Security Guard: Lift up your shirt son.
Chris Griffin: I need an adult! I need an adult!
Security Guard: You're not a shoplifter, you're just a fat kid. Sorry about that fatty, fat, fatty. Hey Tom, he's just a fat kid! Aren't ya fatty? He's a big ol' fat kid. Here's some chocolate fatso.
Chris Griffin: Thanks!
