    Apparently you missed the part where it's an article from The Onion. In other words, it's a joke.

    Well considering I've never gone onto that site & didnt know it existed till now..... kinda hard to know that right? I don't follow bull**** sites.
    But you read the article, right? I think your satire detector needs re-calibration. :huh:

    And this is why people believe the stupidest things, nobody bothers to actually check out the source of an article. "If it's on the internet, it must be real!" A 5 second look at the web site itself would've told you it's a satirical site. Heck, they even publish an actual print newspaper and have their own radio station.

    I was thinking the same thing. Sad how many people just believe what's on the internet. They don't bother looking into the page or the author.

    Actually in this case it's pretty obvious it's a joke without even knowing the source...

    But what makes the onion funny is that it's not really that much of a stretch.

    Yea, but from the poster who made the above statement, it's not really much of a surprise

    This is actually really motivating. If the onion feels the need to be satirical about it, it means it obviously possible. :D

    This was just too funny. It gave me a good laugh. Of course, then I had to shake my head not at the people who thought it was real but at the people who got all uppity at those who mistook it for real. So they didn't know it was a joke. Chill out. No reason to freak out over it. This is for a good laugh. Although, I have to admit, sometimes it feels like it's impossible to lose weight. I was on this program for over a year, quit for a few months, gained 35 pounds, so now I'm back. Feels impossible, but unlike the article, it's not! Great for a laugh! Thanks! :laugh:
