This is hilarious. I picture the janitor from Scrubs, whose name IS Janitor, fighting the germs all around me.

She is very astute on the martial metaphors for disease and the immune system.

And I guess I’m stealing the idea a little bit from “Fat! So?” that shows pictures of a similar fat replica traveling the world. But all art is theft anyway, so screw it.

But seriously, when I pulled up the website that sells the fat replicas, Nasco, a home economics supply catalog, I was shocked to see that they now have a category of gastric bypass educational supplies. Previously I’d just been riveted by their food replicas that are used for nutritional education. But the weight loss angle that they seem to have taken on is alarming and kind of unexpected. What, the home economists are now marching against us too?

Cutest. Ninjas. Evar.

EVERY TIME YOU THINK FOR YOURSELF A COCONUT CRAB EATS A PUPPY

Caitlin, this is pure genius. May I use it as a quote on my blog? I will give you full credit of course!

The amount of self-loathing wrapped up in that product makes me very sad.

We speak of the immune system as if it were an army, for instance, when it could just as easily be seen as janitorial services.

*blinks* *thinks about it* *mind is quietly blown*

Besides, it’s ridiculous. People don’t tend to gain 5lbs overnight, so your body has time to adjust. I don’t find walking to be any more or less difficult now than I did 5lbs ago! What hogwash!

But re your art project – are you going to put these ninja-fats up for sale?

Oh, the horror. Because we all know that being fat is just like having an ugly lobe of yellow plastic strapped to your belly. Yeah. That’s it.
