I'll admit — I'm a product of our instant gratification, no responsibility quick fix culture, and when I get sick, I want to get better fast. And the fastest way to get better from any disease is surgery. For a cold — a 10-hour noseoscopy usually does the trick, after which I want my doctor to really dig into that throat and eliminate any residual laryngitis with his naked palms. So I really don't get this outburst from Ricky Gervais:
The Office and Extras star said people who have liposuction and gastric band operations "lazy f—ing fat pigs".
Gervais, 47, launched his tirade on his new audiobook, The Ricky Gervais Guide To Medicine, which was released on iTunes on Thursday.
He said: "I really don't know why a doctor under a hippocratic oath takes the risk of something going badly wrong, sometimes with general anesthetic, because someone can't be bothered to go for a f—ing run.
I especially disagree with that last point: It is relatively easy to bother fat people to go for a f—ing run. Assuming that one can't is regrettably natural, because the act itself is so highly erotic.

So it appears compulsive eating disorder is the last addiction disorder where it is socially acceptable to be a bigot?
