Yahoo Stoopid News Article of the week

Wassa Matter, people?  Mel Gibson's DWI already bore you?
Slow Non-news day otherwise?
Why is this a headline?

Heavy people may collapse more in heat 
Wait till you read the copy...it gets even better.

Layers of fat make it extra difficult for a body to dissipate heat, or to move to a cool location. 

Or move to a cool location?  Are we talking about a person or a house here?  I mean WTF?!?!?
This is as much a news article as Skinny People More Likely To Freeze in the Winter.  Or starve.
Why don't you just go ahead and insult them further?  Slide in some wisecrack about snacks or something?  
My LORD you suck.

Everyone is at risk during a severe heat wave, but it makes sense for obese people to be cautious, said Dr. Arthur Kellermann, a professor of emergency medicine at Atlanta's Emory University.

"If they read this article and say 'Well I am kind of heavy, I should be careful,' that's good," Kellermann said.

SFW?!?!?!?  Truth of the matter is this:  It doesn't matter if your suffix is MD, DO, or whatever other alphabet soup you have--you're still a human being with biases and prejudices.  Trust me.  

I know a couple in this office who could have provided the quotes.
I don't think any writer should be allowed to hide behind their skirts and snipe away.  
Grrrrrr.
