Forget the Festive Season Guys.
Seems that the PC mob (political correctness, not Personal Computer!) are at it again, this time having a go at good old Santa.
A major mall in the UK has ordered it Santas to 'shape up' by bringing in a fitness trainer.
The Santa Bootcamp has specially designed Xmascises including the Sack Lift and the Present Twist to encourage Santas to shed some pounds before Xmas.
Seems that by 2050 50% of all Brits will be obese due to their sedntary lifestyle and the growth of poor eating habits.
As Santa is so endeared to the children it is feared that some will see his round and jolly physique as some kind of aspirational role model.
Or so the report says. Maybe its a bit of Christmas hype to get some column inches for the mall?
Incidentally this follows closely on a report in the National Press that being fat is actually good for you with moderately overweight people living a tad longer that the skinny brigade.
This also follows on from a report that using the BMI calculator (body mass index, a method of determining whether you are overweight or not) the entire British rugby team were obese. I'm sure that this calculation would also indicate that all American Footballers are similarly obese.
Now who is going to tell them?
Just remember a minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. Enjoy your Christmas.
