Funny: Adam Carolla on the Value of Shaming

Personally I think this ship has sailed. It's true, but the ship has sailed.

Americans' most cherished right is to be fat, dumb, lazy, entitled, selfish and cowardly without anyone making them "feel bad" about it.

Anyway, Carolla says something here that made me laugh out loud so I'll quote it. (Also, I need a fresh post.)

“I say good,” Carolla declared. “That’s all we have. That’s all we have ever had, is as a society. I mean, there are not enough counselors or dietitians or cops. We have to shame. I would like to expand the shaming to welfare moms and deadbeat dads and people who think it’s a good idea to fly in flip flops. I want shaming. It keeps society in order.”

O'Reilly wondered if there wasn't any exception for compassion. Carolla had none of it.

“Well, listen, I think they are going to get beat up by society no matter what,” Carolla replied. “I mean, prom season is not great when you’re fat. And dating is tough. And even job interviews. I mean, society gets its pound of flesh out of these people. … But, eventually when there is more of them than there are of us, they will literally crush us. This way, if you think about it … they’re going to take over the world with their enormity.”

Laughed out loud.

Speaking of which, apparently some plus-sized model* can now claim the world's record for world's biggest hips -- eight feet around.

Dude.

Sir Mix-A-Lot just issued a public apology and retraction.

* Is she really a model? What does she model -- sandwiches?

I Just Realized... Ever see a Star Wars A-Wing fighter?

Same.

Except chunkier in the engines.
