How F*cking Stupid do you want to be?

According to this article, British women OVERWHELMINGLY woud prefer to be "thin and stupid" rather than "smart and fat".

94%.  F*cking 94%.  I'd say they're already stupid, so all they really want is to be thin....

Yeah, well, as a woman who is both fat and smart, 94% of me would prefer not to be British

Good thing I'm not.

Oh Hell yeah! I agree with this 100% as a fat and smart chick!

I can picture a culture in which looks, size and other physical traits earn you more than intelligence does. In that case, everyone smart enough to qualify as smart and fat may rationally, and accurately, conclude that they'd be better off thin and stupid. Not saying British society is that shallow, just that it could be.

ignorance is bliss after all. Why be unhappy with the world and your appearance, when you can be happy with the world and your image in the mirror.

Some people have their priorities screwed up, severly.

Aw, you're not fat, you're corporeally gifted. Which goes along nicely with being intellectually gifted.

So they'd prefer to have neither brains nor brawn. Well, that will make it that much easier when we fat, smart women take over the world. Bwahaha...I mean...gee...I wish I was emaciated.
