And I don't even watch AI, for crying out loud.

An obesity campaigner who criticized American Idol winner Jordin Sparks' weight has received death threats over her remarks. MeMe Roth, of the National Action Against Obesity group in the U.S., admits she has been the victim of hate-mail ever since her appearance on a TV show, with fans of the star "calling for my death." But Roth refuses to retract her opinions, and insists 17-year-old Sparks is in need of severe weight loss, but denies she referred to the singer as "obese." She tells The Scoop, "When I look at Jordin I see diabetes, I see heart disease, I see high cholesterol. That's what's so sad about this - she is not the vision of health - she is the vision of 'unhealth'. Her extra weight is a reflection of today's society and a culture where many of our children have compromised health due to unhealthful food choices and inactivity ... We have to stop with the 'baby fat,' 'curvy,' 'goddess' euphemisms and own this child health crisis."And

Dear Miss Roth ... SHUT IT.

I'll give you three reasons why I think you're an idiot: Jordin's father is a former football player, she's six feet tall, and she modeled for Torrid. Meaning I'll bet dollars to donuts (pun not intended) that her body shape is based more on genetics and good health and less on sitting on her ass and eating everything in sight.

Surprisingly enough, you asshat, it IS possible to be built like Jordin Sparks and NOT be in need of severe weight loss. Especially considering I've seen the pictures of her and ... seriously, are you fucking kidding me?

Dear Miss Roth:

Shut it or I will shut it for you. With a hammer. Or maybe I won't have to, because I'll bet Ms. Sparks can beat the shit out of you with one hand tied behind her back. Or maybe her daddy will do it. ::coughs::

Goddammnit, there is a true obesity epidemic out there, but Jordin Sparks doesn't exemplify it.

Exactly! I highly doubt that someone whose father was a professional football player sat on her ass in front of the TV twenty-four/seven and ate Ho-Hos until she was blue in the face.
