It seems that nothing is good for you these days. If it's not enough that we are a 'nation of fatties', we also lack motivation and will power, and thus have binged on social networking too. The day after Facebook was named as the 'world's number one social networking site', is the day the world's number one is also responsible for the obesity epidemic, as 'Facebook 'makes you fat''Too much time surfing online and not enough will power to go the gym? Yes that will be FATbook's fault. Makes you wonder whether the metaphorical Poke could actually be a latent form of exercise action.
The image that springs to mind is the 'fat guy being poked with a stick'.
So FATbook’s caused an epidemic. But weren’t the fatties F.A.T. before Facebook?
This level of reportage is ridiculous, but what else does one expect from the summer time, lazy British tabloid press. The story will be straight from the 'fatty demographic’ who surf too much and don't get to the gym anyway. Buy an iphone and poke FATbook on the move I say.

but what about the thin demographic who surf too much and don't get to the gym? And what about the fatties who do go to the gym? (or who probably do some alternative form of exercise because gyms are so fat phobic)
I know plenty of folk, fat and thin who admit to the facebook/Web addiction and those who just surf n go once a day. And plenty of thin folk who don't do any exercise at all except press a key for Scrabulous.
I'd imagine the next hysteria will be 'Brown's free laptops and broadband for kids is encouraging the child obesity epidemic!'
