Kirstie Alley To Legally Change Her Name To "Nom Nom Nom"

Hahahaha. Unbelievable. I am willing to believe that impulse control is a serious enough problem for some people to the point of needing professional help. And I recognize that the human body comes in all shapes and sizes and that some of those sizes are more difficult to regulate than others. Moreover, we live in a society of over-consumption and selfish indulgence, where immediate gratification is a virtue, and the constant pursuit of "more" is a national pasttime. It takes a certain amount of restraint and willful resistance to balance between what we actually need or even want and what we are constantly told we must have right now. OK. But JESUS CHIRST, KIRSTIE ALLEY, YOU NEED TO GET A GRIP NOW. She was just on Oprah less than two months ago looking like Pizza the Hut (no offense, that's a clinical term from real hospitals) and trying to position herself as the emblematic spokesperson for Future Biggest Loser Contestants everywhere. It was, I am told, by the internet, a touchingly honest and open admission of genuine weakness. But now that outpouring of humanity has been trampled beneath the weight of Kirstie Alley's stomping elephant hooves (I'm a scientist, and I know what things are called) as they STAMPEEEEEEEEEEEEDE to the nearest Sonic for a FREE ROOT BEER FLOAT PUT IT IN MY BODY FUUUUUUUUCK.

Kirstie Alley. National hero.

How the FUCK did we come to a point where someone can be a celebrity simply by the mind-blowing ability to fuckin PILE ON SOME POUNDS and then drop that shit off when a company pays her to?!? It's like a Marvel reject.


HOW IS THAT A SKILL!? I mean, shit. Kids in Africa can't eat, and yet we all line up to hear this bitch's sob story of "I eat so much! Oh no!" AND THEN WE JUMP ON THIS TRAIN TO CRAZYVILLE!!! WHY?!? This story is played out and DONE. Get a fuckin hold of yourself, America. Lest Kirstie Alley eat us all in a bid to outdo herself.

If it makes Kirstie Alley this happy to be fat, she should just be fat and be done with it. Do what makes you feel good, Kirstie. You go get yourself a float girl, you're worth it.

I know THAT. But that'd done. Gone. Irrelevant. There ain't some MTV show where teenagers are high-fiving each other talking about CHEERS! No, I LOVE CHEERS on VH1. WE HAVE FINISHED WITH CHEERS, YA'LL.


And I'd be fine with that, if America was willing to sit around and talk about how great she was in Cheers. NOPE. This isn't "Kirstie Alley To Legally Change Her Name To "Cheers was FUCKIN AWESOME." This is an oh look BITCH BE FAT AND DOING FAT STUFF post. Because how is she famous now? Because she gets fat. And ya'll are fat enablers. You and sonic, sitting in a boat, talking about how you're enabling fat. Disgusting.

Personally I consider this a public service announcement, because much like the distinguished Liz Lemon I went to the gym today and I deserve a treat.
Maybe you could eat a root beer float too, and it would make you less of an angry.

and here's the essential problem with America's relationship with food. When you boil it down, we regard it as a reward. Reward for exercising, making it through a bad day, being alive....

I'm a lady, I have my own issues with body image and (specifically) cupcakes... but I agree with gabe on this one. America needs to slow their roll on WHY we're eating, and start thinking about what we actually need. Running to the Sonic for a free float is yet another example of creating a costly (financially and environmentally) supply for an unnecessary demand.

Now, excuse me as I huff and puff my way off of this soap box.

Liz Lemon did not go to the gym. "I planned on going to the gym today so I deserve a treat." That line she said was funny because it showed her weakness for snacks and her lack of commitment to workout. You know she won't go to the gym.

you really think the only reason this post is here is because she is fat? my cousin is much much more fat, and i don't see anything on here about her late-night ice cream twitters. this is here because "once famous sitcom star has turned dieting into a rollercoaster and she is taking america for a ride."



the fact is, america loves to see it's STARS and IDOLS (notice the words we choose to appropriate these people) fail miserably. this very blog is exhibit A in my argument. this blog isn't about fat people, it is about fat people that we all know and can ridicule. we can all gather in a glorious union of contempt and scorn.

THANK YOU! Goddamn, that is what I'm saying. Did you read the first post? I'm wondering how the fuckz we got to the point where someone stays in the news soley for gaining weight and losing it!


Yeah, she overcomes obstacles and shit but fuck the fuckin shit, America. You want her to lose weight so she can gain it again. Why does this keep someone in the news? WHY ARE WE THIS FUCKIN PATHETIC?!? It's not that this post is here because she's fat. This post is here because Kirstie goddamned Alley is fat. AGAIN. As American's, we have become addicted to Kirstie's fat, and I call for a War on Kirstie's Fat IMMEDIATELY.

I spent a shit ton of my teenage years asking for forgiveness over those goddamned thoughts; nearly cut my arm off cause they WERE THAT INTENSE OF SEXUAL FANTASIES. I don't want to even get into it. I just wish I could be allowed to just remember her as that, not some bloated ass balloon fuckin up my shit.

It's great that people are sensitive to making fun of fat people, but this is completely onside. This is like JJ Walker tweeting "Everyone run down to Popeye's and get your free slice of watermelon!!!" I'll take stereotypes in the corner square for the win, Tom.

I hope all of you people who are defending overeating aren't also the people who support government run health care, because I don't think the rest of us who have enough willpower to stop stuffing our faces when we're full should have to pay for all the health costs associated with obesity.

Some people are naturally hefty, that's fine, nothing wrong with that. Others have no willpower and would rather have that extra piece of cake everyday then live long enough to see their children graduate college. Kristie Alley is one of those people.
