Does "Nutrisystem" makes people stupid?

[Redstone]

It must, because "Zora" keeps insisting, in the commercials, that "it works so good."

1. Mah husband, he said I wuz HAWT!

:rofl:

2. I've long suspected it leeches some vital chemical...

...from the brain. There's really no other explanation for the advanced cretinism displayed by the people who claim to use it.

3. itz fer loosing wait, write?

4. 1200 calories a day

will take its toll, man.

5. What do you want from Ms. Joe Millionaire?

Yep, she "won" the first Joe Millionaire.

[Redstone]

7. The fuck is a "Joe Millionaire?" I'm serious here; I know absolutely NOTHING about

popular culture / TV shows that everyone watches.

9. LOL. You didn't miss much.

A few years ago Fox decided its reality shows weren't trashy enough.

...man I can't even do this shit justice. I'l let wiki explain for me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Millionaire

I watched it only to make fun of it with my friends. We came up with drinking games. I think I'm still recovering the lost brain cells.

[Redstone]

10. Oh, fuck me. That HAD to have led to drinking games, and serious ones.

11. We nearly had alcohol poisoning a few times

:rofl:

12. Stone me, I'd have liked to have seen (and participated in) that. So, do you think

that it's at all possible to underestimate the stupidity of the American TV-watching public?

I think not, after reading about that show.

15. I did that too with some friends.

Our rules were pretty simple. Just take a shot anytime he talks about living a lie or feeling out of place because he's a construction worker and finds it difficult pretending to have money.

[jgraz]

6. I know I'm going out on a limb here..

but I'm thinking Zora was stupid pre-NutriSystem.

[Redstone]

8. Prolly. But you'd think the producers would coach her a bit, yes?

Redstone

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. No, the issue that nutrisystem is attractive only to the ignorant

So it only seems that nutrisystem makes people stupid.

[Redstone]

14. Bingo!

16. We've got a DUer around who's losing weight on it

and she or he seems sharp enough. Me on the other hand, my memory is shot--I forget that DUer's handle.

[Redstone]

17. I'm not casting aspersions on the "system's" effectiveness; just on the commercial.

You'd think there would be SOMEONE on the production staff who had graduated from, say, sixth grade.

18. pretty bad when you can't just be told what to eat

they have to FEED YOU

[flvegan]

19. The lack of nutritional training might.

Just sayin'...
