I personally hope everyone who is even remotely associated with the NY Post dies a grizzly and horrifying death, but before they do, they can read my lil letter.
There are a couple gaps I will fill in one once I get the information from Amy.
I am writing in reference to Linda Stasi’s scathing review over MTV’s True Life segment on obesity. I realize dear Linda has had her own personal issues to deal with as of late – that raging flare up of genital warts on her anus would drive anyone to serious bouts of crankiness. But I must say I’m surprised the New York Post would allow such one sided pre-menstrual fueled columns.
In regards to Linda’s statement, “No! Your life has been taken away by your refusal to stop stuffing yourself with three pizzas at a time, lady.” While I assume Linda’s nearly debilitating phobia of obesity concludes that she is of normal proportional size, I have to wonder if she ever indulges in filling the holes of her own body excessively. After all, many obsessions, cravings, needs and outright desires aren’t always so noticeable (to the naked eye) like obesity. As humans we feel a need to fill that aching hole in our lives – food, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, sex, shopping, mutilation and sometimes even ceramic toy poodles make up the majority of our secret little indulgences.
I also think it’s rather cute that the New York Post seemingly doesn’t require their reporters to check the validity of their facts and information. To give Linda credit, she was correct about Amy Williams being a 615 pound woman. However she failed to note, or even bothered to research, that Amy Williams also suffers from Severe Lymphoedema. A serious illness which occurs because the lymph vessels are damaged or blocked and consequently causes swelling and fluid build up in the arms and legs. In severe cases such as Amy’s weight fluctuations are extreme (often topping ... in just a few days) and her body becomes riddled with grotesque protrusions and bulges. Certainly this would inhibit mobility and there lies the reason for Amy William’s wheelchair.
Linda is quoted to saying this in your pleasant and informative article, “Tonight's new doc, "I'm Obese" left me not only shocked, but determined never to eat again.” I must admit that after reading this statement I’m personally determined to be more considerate towards my fellow race of human beings, and to ALWAYS check the facts first and be well informed. After all, you wouldn’t want to be mistaken for The New York Times.
If Linda is reading this letter and touching her herself over the anticipation of responding to me I’m afraid I must steal your glory my dear: For yes, I am morbidly obese also.
