Why has this threat been censured? You can show a sexy chick but not a fat guy walking upstairs?! Shame on you! My point, even if expressed with a touch of comedy, was a valid one. Grow up!

Get real man

Its not the apps fault is it. If you were trying to lose weight go to a special consultant or gym or something, not rely on iphone app

They wont refund you for that, well at least i wouldn't

That's not the point any more. The point is that I posted here a picture etc, and because it was of a fat male ass walking upstairs it HAS BEEN CENSURED! DELETED! And that's not OK.
regardless I would appreciate my money back.

Glad sarcasam hasn't been lost here. :rolleyes:


OP: Buy a Nano and Nike+ and see if that helps. I hear if you just clip the sensor on your shoe you magically lose weight.

I can't believe they did that either... It isn't like you could see his (sorry, your ;) ) junk or anything in appropriate... If I have to look at half the fat chicks I see walking around in spandex and crop tops there shouldn't be any problem with you posting a fat guy's back... I mean you could see he was wearing a thong so he wasn't naked or anything...:rolleyes:

BTW, the original point was that the OP was JOKING!! you know, making fun of people that might actually think that just buying an app would make them skinny... it amazing how quickly dense people can kill a good joke :rolleyes:

well i thought about it and dont care.

But to be honest everyone would rather look at sexy ladies rather than a big fat man.

For an established member (OP) you're sure fussy. You should know by now your questions regarding the removal of a picture are better suited for those with power to remove said images. A moderator.

Now you're just being silly and you know it.

Statistically, you are more likely to be attractive if you are a normal weight than fat.

I don't want to see pictures of morbidly obese people on public forums. What if a young child sees it?

that's funny! Most kids in the US and EU see their morbidly obese parents all day long.
But that wasn't the point. The point is that MacRumour forums should not censure what is normal and OK.

I would think it would be healthier for a young child to see a fat guy than a half-dressed "hot chick"... they see the underweight, surgically (and probably digitally) enhanced chick and feel worse about themselves.. they see the fat a** and feel better that they don't look like that guy :p

There you go! Totally right! So why is this site censuring the pics? WHY?! Are they all rather idiotic? I'm sure not...

Dude, it all depends on what the photo showed. If it violated the MR rules, it gets removed. Simple. Geeez.

It was a fat guy in a thong from behind! It didn't show anything more that a little blubber.
God, give us a break! And Macrumours, join the century.
