The Jolly “Green” Giant

From this month’s “green” issue of Vanity Fair:

yeah, I saw it too, my first reaction was who were the other guys.

Greg should have worn a necklace that said "Mayor Gridlock" or "My Tunnel Or Else", but that would have been against his pro-green image.

oh dear.

Idea for new t-shirt, "My mayor is a fatso."

His concern for the environment clearly stems from his concern for the well being of the twins he's about to deliver any day now, holy cow. He's a hot wife away from having his own network sitcom.

You can't trust politicans who look like models. People who look like that belong be on TV, reading the news from a teleprmpter (Yes, Bill Frist, I am looking at you).

He's wrong about that stupid tunnel, and he monorail turnabouts were sleazy, but I think he at least looks the part of a Real Mayor.

I foresee some photoshop fun with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes here....

Yay! And just in time for Spring Thaw!

Don't hate him because he's fat - hate him because he's a wholly owned subsidiary of Vulcan, Inc.

I'd hit that.

now, now, if he wasn't Mayor Gridlock, we might have Skytrain running all throughout the city by now, instead of a tunnel noone except rich developers wants.

Man, you people are ridiculous. Have you ever lived anywhere else? I don't think this Mayor is perfect either, but I do understand that no politician is going to do 100% of what I think is the right thing to do. Compared our Mayor to those or most other US cities and he comes out looking pretty damn good.

Nickels should trade with Tom Carr! Mr. Mayor can ride a bike to work, and Sidran-Lite can get off his high horse, err monorail, and hit the road.

It's hard to lose weight (or for that matter to reduce greenhouse emissions) when you're chauffered around in a Cadillac.

I hate to pick on him because of that picture, but it's great that he's the man who keeps saying we should have healthier, walkable cities.

Can we trade with that sexy guy who is the mayor of Frisco? I'd drink his bathwater anyday.

Jesus
You guys all suck. He's fat? Well you're dumb.
Way to go Greg.

It would be so much nicer if everyone looked and dressed like Lance Armstrong.

We could subsidize skin bleaching and "Back" reduction for our African American brothers, liposuction for the rich whites and enforced dieting for the poor.

Diversity in humanity only causes strife anyway.


Pull the stick out of your (well rounded) ass.

Greg is all natural curves, with the body of a god. (Buddah)

brought to you by a happy member of the chubby comittee

One word: hippo.

Fat people are gross and lazy. When I moved to Seattle, I was happy that people keep in shape here biking, running and hiking.

Fat people should move back to the red states to be with their own kind.

Gene - yeah, I used to live in Vancouver BC - just visited there in fact, it's sad how a city half our size has done way more for transit and the environment while we slacked off. And Greg owes some of his votes to my hard work getting him elected, so I think I'm entitled.

as to the weight stuff - not sure why so many posters are sizeist.

Larry, you insensitive asshole. I'm thin as a rail, but I think you're pig-faced fuck.

Fat people are not gross and lazy; some are, true. But lots of skinny folks are also gross and lazy.

Are all black people stupid, and gay people sexaholics. Are all people named "Larry" insecure douchebags?

Larry is gross and lazy.

Larry should move to a red states to be his their own kind, bigoted assholes who suck ass. FUCK YOU LARRY!

As for Mayor Nickels he deserves a hell of a lot of credit for his Kyoto city's work. This is a big stab in the eye of all the red state people you hate so much.
