If you go onto twitter, you pretty much know what you'll see right?
A bunch of people making descriptive 140 character sentences frequently throughout to day to let people know what is going on in thier lives, though i doubt very many people are listening.
Yes, I use it.
yes, I endorse it.
For me, it is a stress reliever. It is the one place that my parents and other elders do not see on a daily basis (unlike facebook) where I can voice my opinions and not feel as though I will get beratted. Now, i have this blog, but I'll still use Twitter, just because well...si simply like it. so sue me. However, there are some very shady people typing up those 140 character sentences. Take, for instance Mr. Kenneth Tong.
Mr. Tong is a self proclaimed “Hong Kong playboy” who spent six days on the cast of the British version of “Big Brother” back in 2009. Or at least this is what I gather. Recently, he has found a new way of gathering attention: Managed Anorexa.
You have got to shitting me...
One of his tweets states "Only the thin truly win. My Size Zero Pill will change lives, it’s like the modern day Schindler’s List. Will I be your salvation?"
(really. this nut is actually using jewish holocaust information to make people listen to him.)
He also goes on to say things like "to be thin is to be perfect and to be fat is unnaceptable" and telling people who write to him about their struggles with anorexia that "had your anorexia been supervised, you’d have been fine."
Yeah, because THATS what needs to happen. While a good amount of americans are very overweight and do need to think about their health, "managed Anorexia" is the very last thing that needs to happen. And, I don't think I even need to begin to say that there are plenty of girls out there who are naturally a size 0 and are very healthy, just as there are girls (like myself) who are NOT a size zero and are healthy. The number on the back of your pants or dress does not tell your health. A woman who is a size 4 can be much more unhealthy than a woman who is a size 12. so where is this guy getting this stuff?
Obviously, he was beat by an overweight woman as a child and still harbors resentment.
Here's my question though: Who's doing the supervising? Obviously, it cannot be the person dieting, because then it reverts back to plain old anorexia. And it sure as hell isn't going to be Tong, because he cannot be everywhere at once. And if there really isn't anybody "managing" this disease for all the young girls who want to try it, then he's actually marketing a disease that has killed thousands of women (and men, I believe). So, I'd love to know how this works. Does this guy have drones who travel the world to make sure girls aren't eating? Or is he just some quack who thinks this will get the worlds attention about our obesity?
I'm betting its the latter.
I'm going to think on this, and hopefully someone can figure out some way to shut him down. because there HAS to be a way. and this is just NOT okay.
if you have any ideas or you have something to say on the subject (wether you agree with me or Mr. Quac- I mean Tong), then please, comment on my blog.
