Stock footage of obese people
My second fat person post of the night.
Anyway, one of my favorite news quirks is when they deal with any story involving obesity, the cut away to neck down shots of fat people walking around. I have to wonder how a camera man gets that assignment.
"Ted, we have a hot mission for you"
"What's that?"
"We need you to walk around the city block and film neck down shots of fat people. You must not be noticed. Here, take these Double Cheeseburgers. Throw them in the direction of the fat person if your activity is compromised. Can you handle this."
"Yes?"
"Good luck and Godspeed"
