Today I watched 20 minutes or so of the KELLY CLARKSON show in the lobby
of Jiffy Lube while I was waiting to get my oil changed.

Holy schnikees, has that girl lost a lot of weight. She was always kind
of chubby even during her AMERICAN IDOL days, but then she really
ballooned up and became fully morbidly obese. But she walks on screen
today and she must have lost the equivalent to an entire Backstreet Boy
in weight.

Very slim and fit now. And still healthy looking, so the weight loss
seems to have been accomplished the right way. Good for her.

Not really true - when she won Idol, she was pretty thin back then.

She definitely took 10 years off her looks by losing that weight - She
used to look 40. Now she could easily pass for late 20s. It's impressive.

For no particular reason, I thought of Kelly Carlson, who was on
Nip/Tuck, desperate to look younger with plastic surgery (despite not
being old in any way), but that's somebody else.

you're thinking of Paula Poundstone and Kathy Griffin lined
up for plastic surgery in the tv show Major Crimes...

I disliked that show, so you whooshed me.

It was a pleasant enough time waster, especially
when compared to its predecessor "The Whiner"
("The Closer")...

A game I play on the iPhone has weight loss commercials, supposedly
featuring Clarkson between every round so I see them a lot. They’re
completely fake. They’ve taken random footage of her and replaced the
mouths and written dialogue by people that don’t speak English so what she
saying doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. For instance, she says her name
is Shark Tank at one point.

Anyway, they say she lost all the weight, eating magic gummy’s. Just take
one gummy each day and lose 50 pounds in three weeks. As though that would
be survivable. Dr. Oz comes in to verify what she’s saying.

And every day is the very last day to have them send you a bottle for free
if you just send them like 50 bucks.

Can you explain what the converse, "partially morbidly obese" would mean
then? Holy fuck, how can anyone with an alleged college education be
that fucking stupid with his use of the language? This is why you're
"fully morbidly MAGA" now, because they're accepting that sound as
stupid as a fucking doorknob.

At one point, I got curious about this keto diet, which they promise is
completely safe and guaranteed to lose you weight in record time. It
took very little research to determine that this is NOT a safe diet
and definitely one you should not be on for more than a couple of
weeks. Even then, you put various internal organs at risk. I don't
remember the details at this point but anyone thinking of trying it
should absolutely do some basic research on keto diets - NOT just the
claims they make in the ads!!! - before trying it.

By the way, the foreign language writing is so bad that she actually says
what she’s trying to sell you is a scam!

As far as I know, there aren’t any truth in advertising laws anymore and
there never were as many as people thought.

If there are they simply go unenforced like crime in California.
