Okay, so I found another video on YouTube (via Clinical Cases and Images - Blog) that is meant to be humorous and educational, but manages to insult the "big belly people."
This video is meant to be a serious public service announcement by the Portuguese Cardiology Foundation as it talks about the danger of intrabadominal fat. But, somehow spoofing Sir David Attenborough doesn't quite work for me.
Besides, the content isn't an accurate portrayal of what it means to be a big belly person. I'm not at my fittest but I certainly don't sit around and scratch on rocks when I'm at the beach. When I was a bit younger and lived in snow country I went X-C skiing every day. One day I invited one of the "skinny belly people" that didn't exercise every day and she was quite amazed that she was sweating like a stuck pig and couldn't breath after five minutes. As I recall, she wanted to check my pulse to make sure I was still alive. How could it possibly have been that a fat person was more fit than a skinny person?
Ah gee.
