Wake up! We're fat!

Twice as many Americans as Europeans can't stop shoving food into their mouths, a new study says. Americans used to be among the fittest and the tallest people in world. We've eaten our way off of that lofty perch, and we are sicker for it. We spend $2 TRILLION on health care--16% of the GDP. And yet, none of this makes us put down the Ho-hos, turn off Judge Judy, and go for a walk. Are we idiots? Or are we so lazy that we're unwilling to prevent our own untimely deaths by heart attack and diabetes? Either way, it's pretty sad.

Another stupid invention we don't need...

Is the greeting cards that play music when opened. Every time I go into a card shop now I have to listen to some idiot opening every single one of these infernal things. As if it's not going to play the song listed on the label, or they need to hear "Bad to the Bone" or "Celebration" one more time. Not to mention the fact that the unadjustable volume on these things is set at a level that would make a deaf person cup their ears.
