Why did she name herself Meme? Is she into Dawkins?
Yeah, she sounds like she's some kind of hoax. Can't be real, right?
Gawd, you're so committed to gloom. It's actually sort of a sweet little scene: you meet your idol and he basically deems you fuckable, and makes you promise to stay the same. It's the "stay the same wonder person you've always been" joke come to life.
Lindsay links to this entertaining story.
Dontcha just love the MeMe generation?
From Ms. Roth's site:
Q: You've suggested dumping ones fat friends?
MeMe Roth: Your fat friends are more likely to suggest a Starbucks topped with whipped cream than your fit friends who might think a yoga class or quick jog sounds fun. This is about your health; it's no different than alcoholics avoiding drinkers.
Presumably, being genuinely unlikable makes for easy-to-break friendships.
Did you see the comments on that Wedding Gown Challenge post? She's left a bunch of spam up, as well as a couple of drive-by criticisms, one that even claims to know her and her son and says they're jerks, not one positive response unless you count the guy who bets she has nice tits. What would tempt a person so very picky about propriety to not tend her comment threads? What would tempt someone like that to blog at all?
To be fair to Eddie van Halen, he apparently doesn't look like that, post-rehab.
Wow, I wouldn't have thought that one could look that good after one looked so bad.
Probably a combination of a tan, a good hair cut, some cosmetic dentistry and botox.
AWB's blog post on this is good, too, btw.
yeah, sorry, clumsy phrasing. Didn't mean you hadn't. Was just acknowledging its goodness...
I like the idea of her being into Dawkins, it would make her perfectly unlikeable, instead of only very nearly perfect.
w00t rehab! let the higher power of vanity rule.
I swear to god, watching assholes cloak their assholery in concern trolling about the health of perfect strangers makes me want to poison them.
Isn't MeMe worried that some large person is going to snap her in half? That would be a serious health problem.
re: 16
Poisoning is so remote and unsatisfying. I am concerned about your mental health ...
Yeah, and they hide before they die, and you can only find them by smell.
16: As seen perhaps even more incessantly in mothering "advice"?
20: Sorta. The mommy drive-by people, I want to gag them and lock them in a trunk.
So THAT'S why he divorced Valerie Bertinelli (because she got fat enough to become the new spokesperson for Jenny Craig®).
Glad MeMe cleared that up.
16: Sounds like the perfect topic for a blog post, no?
MeMe is basically setting herself up to be the Ann Coulter of fat hysteria, so I can't take anything she says particularly seriously. My impression of her is that she long ago learned that crazy gets press, so I don't think she makes a real effort to be or sound reasonable - there's no percentage in it for her.
