Playing The Man

I have decided to devote a whole blogpost to the making of fat jokes at the expense of Gerry Brownlee.

There are so many reasons to dislike Brownlee without resorting to cheap-shots about his weight, and I'm not actually going to make any fat jokes, because the very thought of using someone's weight as a weapon against them fills me with dismay.

But I can't control what my followers decide to post in the comments thread following this blogpost.

So now's your chance to play the man, not the ball. Fill me with some dismay, people!

  1. I'd love to fill you with dismay.... But Gerry ate it all. :o(

  2. Gerry's so fat, his picture couldn't fit in your frame.

    [actually, look at the picture again. His face looks perfectly flat, like some he's been skinned and hung, stretched out on the wall like a hanging rug... does everyone look like that if you crop their face tightly, or do you have to be a fat fuck for it to work?]

  3. Gerry's so fat he fell in love and he broke it.

    That's all I got.

  4. There's something glorious about this 2010 effort

    Evidence suggests I do permit myself about two-thirds of a fat-related reference per thing-about-Brownlee. In some weird way I felt like they were clever enough to justify it.

  5. I was always convinced that the reason he wanted to mine the national parks is 'cause someone told him there were pies underneath 'em.

  6. Mark Sainsbury was interviewing Gerry the other night and said "Someone suggested they should put up a statue of Gerry Brownlee in Cathedral Square - what do you think of that?" - Gerry laughed and said "Not enough room."

    This gave me satisfaction because he does a better job making fun of himself than all you sad people who have no better argument to make than mocking an overweight person.

3. Moronic or nonsensical comments may be deleted.
4. I don't often exercise the heavy hand of censorship, but I do reserve the right to delete any comment I don't like, for any reason.
