Punkypink Posted December 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Aw its a joke, even if the year those singles were released was true. Origin of joke: aussie comedian Adams Hill Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 the worst part of that joke is that we dont have the highest obesity rates in the world. we are just up there and are famous for it, but we aren't at the top Link to post Share on other sites

Punkypink Posted December 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Christ, if the joke was retitled: Why America has so many obese people, would that make sense? How about, being less pendantic and enjoying the humorous coincidence that a year after "Feed the world" was released, America, which happens to have a lot of well-fed people, released "We are the world"?

Pureownage Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Sigh, it's sad to see a originally funny thread with a good joke descend into epic failz.
