Fat Journalist Wins Peabody Award For Article Revealing "Inactivity Causes Obesity"
Pat Assateague, the 275 pound journalist whose New York Times article "Inactivity Causes Obesity" sparked a global public health debate, has won the prestigious Peabody Award for Scientific Journalism, it was announced today. Assateague, who stands 5 foot 9 inches tall, thanked the Peabody voting committee in a ceremony last evening, and talked about how he spent a great many hours sitting and writing the award-winning article: "From six in the morning until six at night I sat at my computer, contemplating, reflecting on why obesity is such a growing health problem in the country," said Assateague. "After awhile, I could begin to feel the circulation behind my knees start to tingle, and as I opened up another box of Hostess Ho-Ho's, I realized that from an anthropological standpoint, the current obesity epidemic is unlike anything we've ever witnessed in public health." Assateague recounted the excitement he felt when, after finally completing his article, he quickly submitted it to his editor with the Times and ran down to the Sub shop down the street, where he devoured a foot-long Italian sausage deluxe sub, spilling the toppings all over the restaurant floor and smearing marinara sauce around the corners of his mouth... Assateague then thanked the crowd again, let out a painful-sounding belch, and waddled back to his seat... Kerry Says Unrest in Iraq Proves the Need for UN Intervention
