Obese Irish Public Figures

znv6i3h7kqf9ys

Just an observation, but does anybody find that there are a disproportionate amount of Public figures on Irish TV and public life that are obese compared to other countries. I’m not just talking Mary Harney (minister for health, cough) or Brian Cowen but others like Joe Duffy (the state of him), Anne Doyle (side profile shows this up) or indeed Gerry Ryan who has the hypocritical audacity (as he would say himself) to present Operation Transformation. Can ye think of any more? Sick of looking at them

Your post is unnecessarily obese.
Font size 3 should only be used in emergencies or if you're really annoyed..
edit: DAMMIT!

Disproportionate to whom? No, people on telly are disproportionate in weight to the general population. We need more fatties to represent us.
And the first two are politicians btw.

I see Anne Doyle a lot she lives near my house, she isn't obese. I'd doubt she's even overweight.

Ryan Tubridy makes up for everyone anyway.

I saw her in Ranelagh one day not so long ago, and she is not, by any stretch of the imagination obese..

Ironic yes having an obese Minister for Health and a fat guy hosting a weight loss program - is it just me or does Gerry retain all that fat in his huge mallet head?!
I'm not sure I agree about Anne Doyle though.

Saw Mary Harney on the news last night, she looked like she had lost a shed load of weight, what's the story there?

Must have given birth to a baby otter. Hope someone called the coastguard.

I don't take any notice tbh - it isn't of any concern to me.

Gerry Ryan actually looks like he's lost weight, to be fair. The jowls aren't so prominent these days.

Arent Irish people supposed to have the highest calorie intake in the world (Popular myth suggests its the Americans but they tend more to be a case of one extreme or the other) ?
