As many of my longtime readers know, I am enormously fat.
Well, not enormously fat. But fatter than I oughtta be. Hence all the moonlit bike riding and so on.
So, naturally, when Mr. Reynolds pointed me towards this article about the CDC's inflation of the numbers on obesity - related deaths, I was innarested, very innarested indeed. I read it, and then went to Google to find a site that would calculate my Body Mass Index.
After I got my BMI (which told me I was fat), a pop - up window appeared: choose your favorite french fries! I am neither kidding nor photoshopping with you. I took a full screenshot that you can see by clicking the thumbnail image.
It's bad enough that they're starting to figure out how to defeat Firefox's anti - popup magicalness. But, I ask you: is that really what you want popping up on a Body Mass Index calculator page?
Then again... clearly somebody knows their market. Chances are if you give a rat's fat patootie about your BMI, you've had more than a passing acquaintance with a french fry or thousand.
