I didn't watch it, I just think Bill Maher is a smug prick. I can't stand the guy.

Even he knows this about himself. It’s his schtick. That doesn’t determine the quality of his opinions.

No, but it does determine my willingness to listen to them.

It's not like his opinions are unique or groundbreaking. All he's really bringing to the table is being an asshole.

I used to watch him and I hate watch the occasional clip every now and again. It's just mainstream, obvious opinions in a hateful package. I don't see the appeal at all.

Also his audience is usually pretty stupid and he knows it. The only thing I like about watching him is watching him get frustrated when they laugh or gasp at the wrong time.

His audience and interactions with them is very annoying to me. "Whaaaaaat?! You didn't like that one?! Oooookayyy.... moooving on then"

I understand how spike's brand of humor isn't for everyone, but it is for me

So dumb. Nike et al aren’t promoting obesity; they’re simply trying to, ahem, widen their consumer base to make more money.

Who cares if he's technically right anyway? Was the world really calling out for ANOTHER article/video about how unhealthy it is to be fat?

Is "the world" ever calling out for anything?

I accept that what other people want for / do with their own bodies is none of my business

I accept that weight and health are mutually exclusive categories; there are healthy fat people and unhealthy thin people; there are people with no choice either way

and I accept that many fat people are just really fuckin hot; attractiveness doesn't depend on being thin

I haven't done the poll because it's a trick question

"Mutually exclusive" probably overstates the case. Broadly true that weight is not a direct indicator of health.

"mutually exclusive" doesn't preclude the intersection of the two, sometimes; it means that even though the circles can cross, they are two different circles
