Essay 335


A Super-Sized MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• A new survey revealed Americans’ attitudes about overweight folks are significantly changing from rejection toward acceptance. Jenny Craig, eat your heart out. Mo’Nique, eat everything else.

• A councilman in a Columbian town sparked controversy with his proposal that folks 14 and older should pack a condom at all times to reduce potential pregnancies and diseases. Roman Catholic priests have especially taken offense. “I would have to have a condom even though I’m a member of the clergy,” said one priest. Well, based on the actions of certain priests, it doesn’t seem like a bad idea.

• P. Diddy diddy not threaten a former associate with a baseball bat. A judge threw out a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed by the ex-president of Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment. This is actually the second time the former associate has failed in attempts to sue Puffy. One more strike and he’s out of here.

• Officials in Manassas, Virginia repealed an ordinance that prohibited extended relatives from living with their families, mostly because folks realized the measure was targeting Hispanics. City Council members unanimously voted to find other ways to address the issues they allegedly associate with packed housing and illegal immigration. One possible solution involves employing P. Diddy with a baseball bat.
