Divisions and Precisions

I don't know whether to laugh or cry...

The local NBC affiliate is doing its own weight-loss challenge to mirror the whole Dr. Phil thing. Their participants are incredibly sad, all people who think they can't have a whole life unless they lose weight. I watched the segment and got angrier and angrier, irrationally angry, which is my knee-jerk reaction to these things.

The camera switched back to the anchor woman who said, "It's the fastest growing crime in the United States." The placard over her shoulder read, "Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge".

How very true.
