...Gambia's Prime Minister, Sir Dawda Jawara, K.B., had peered out a window of his seaside residence a few days ago, he would have seen a fat, nude 75-year-old Swede standing on his head. Shocking? Not a bit, for over the past four years the residents of this tiny West African nation have shrugged off the sight of Swedes-nude or clothed -who each winter desert their frosty homeland for a gambol on Gambia's beautiful white sand beaches. As a travel brochure puts it: "If you like, you can swim nude alone-so huge...
...potential riches of real estate development. The valuable land beside their tracks or the air rights above them often present more beguiling opportunities for profits than running trains. Union Pacific is building apartments near Los Angeles and a hotel in Las Vegas. Penn Central, which has long earned a fat income from its holdings in midtown Manhattan, recently claimed front rank among builders of housing (9,000 units...
...Funt's TV work there was an underlying hum of smugness. Here it becomes a dominant theme. The most vulnerable targets of Funt's sexual satire are social victims: fat ladies in print dresses, cavernous old men prattling about the new amorality, young men anxious for employment, unaware that the hidden waiting-room camera is counting every tic.

...sure that the thought isn't lost on the viewer. His unwieldly assortment of stereotypes and caricatured life-styles pounds out the message too heavily to be maximally effective. The police sergeants are pig's pigs, the passing midwestern tourist hops out of his souvenir-decalled camper with his fat, snorting wife and a brownie box camera, and no less fiery a militant than Kathleen Cleaver chairs the student meeting. And after enough contrasts of clips of gorgeous desert scenes interspersed with unbelievably Orwellian visions of the supercorporation (they used tanned mannequins, plastic-grass golf courses, and rubber food...
...surprised at reasonably good brains or even a functioning personality. Actually, a waitress is a kind of a nothing who gets the food. You can be nice to her, if you want to, but there's no need to relate to her for Christ's sake. She's probably fat or skinny, had bad skin or knocked knees, drawls out your order and crosses her eyes when she adds up the bill. You can shit on her if it makes you feel big, and unless you get really gross, it's a cheap thrill...
