...Feeling brash, I began with the Advanced Sexual Techniques tape. Even if I hadn't known that my mother had seen this barely veiled porn tape, I would have been grossed out. The idea of showing average-looking people having real sex sounds admirable until you actually see bald, fat people from the '80s going at it like quaaluded marsupials in bad lighting. While it made my lovely wife Cassandra feel good about her body, it made me feel bad about bodies in general.

...course there's an epidemic of diabetes. We are getting fat. Why? Because we've got it too easy. We don't have to hunt or gather our food anymore. People are not physically active enough. Even when walking around the mall, they have sodas and fast food in their hands. It's sad to see this terrible and preventable disease run rampant among our youth. There are people around the world starving to death, and here we are eating ourselves to death. GLENYS McNALLY Freeport...
