Default Yahoo (AP): "Overweight kids face widespread stigma"

http://health.yahoo.com/news/177292

Youngsters who report teasing, rejection, bullying and other types of abuse because of their weight are two to three times more likely to report suicidal thoughts as well as to suffer from other health issues such as high blood pressure and eating disorders, researchers said.
and this is the picture linked on Yahoo's homepage

Yahoo really isn't helping by putting Topless McSugartits in that get-up. My god.

You're overweight? fine, whatever ... but the AP's article on hardships is being undermined by that goofy picture. I have no idea what Yahoo was thinking.


On top of it, that kid has to exist somewhere. I'm sure he's being drilled into the ground as we speak.

Pretty soon everyone will be fat, and they will make fun of the skinny kids
