Two roads diverged in a fatty wood

There are times in everyone's life which represent turning points: seminal moments which offer us the chance to go in one particular life direction or another. Most of the time we don't necessarily recognise them without hindsight: only looking back down the road do we see where the road forks. And yet somehow I sense that my decision as to whether or not I watch a TV program, just advertised as coming on next, called Amazing Medical Stories: Half Ton Dad, represents some sort of point of no return.

THOUGHTS: Holy fuck is that guy actually a doctor and if so WHAT THE FUCK is he doing on this show? I mean I'm watching it but I'm sitting on my carpet with a bottle of wine, not rattling around with a motherflipping MEDICAL DEGREE.

I watched that show right after dinner. Jesus. Although in the end, one of the most disgusting things was the daughter of the "world's fattest man" feeding her FOUR MONTH OLD BABY a fucking hamburger.

I know - I know. I felt dirty as I watched it but not, you know, dirty enough to stop...
