It seems to happen more and more. I’m on the Internet, minding my own business. I’m on weather.com, or some random programming site trying to figure out how the fuck to do something in Java (I hate Java), or reading about google’s latest foray into collecting as much information on us as possible (I think google could become SkyNet some day). And then…
BAM
WTF?!
There are these weigh loss ads, showing a fat belly and a skinny belly–before and after pictures. They might be alternating in animation form, or adjacent to each other but there they are. And one is a big, saggy gut chosen specifically for it’s undesirable appearance.
I don’t want to see that! I could easily have found examples to post here, but I don’t want to do that to my readers. I’m too nice. Plus, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about already.
STOP IT!

Hah, perhaps this post does make me sound a bit prickish. Oh well!
I expect to see bellies in various places, like the beach, locker rooms, porno web sites, etc. I don’t expect to see them on weather and technology web sites when I’m at work. This should be a no-belly (whether flabby or slim, really) zone.
