It must spread like wildfire during the Christmas holidays. Whew! We can blame the weight gain on the virus, instead of that extra piece of pie.

Fox News takes a story from the SUN, who quotes an associate professor at a research lab in Louisiana. So it must be true. And the fat virus apparently attacked their reporter's brain.

I don't think this is what Queen had in mind when they sang 'Fat Bottomed Girls'. I'm assuming that is a female but I really can't tell.
