It's about everything... the stadium, the surroundings, the travel time, the fact that USC plays at the Rose Bowl every other year, the fact that other teams from said conference play at the Rose Bowl every other year, the fact that I personally saw 75% of stadium in red yesterday despite supposed ticket allocations, etc I can go on and on but it's redundant because the whole entire system is a joke. A true playoff system in college football is the only "fair" way, however I'm afraid that will never happen.

Soooooo, back to the only real sport... fútbol.
Don't you mean Calcio, ANGE?

I'm watching Supersize Me at the moment and it's a good project IMO. I missed the beginning, but IIRC the point is the guy will eat fastfood for a month and see what the effects are. Now he also stops working out. Since he was training before, I don't see how the project is not affected by this. This way the effects become overrated, no? Were he eating fastfood for a month, but would still be training, his transformation would be dramatically less IMO.

I also disagree with the responsibility he puts with McDonald's. One of the arguments is that McDonald's are the only places with playgrounds, o they lure kids with them. Sure, good move by McDonald's, but shouldn't you ask yourself why they have to go there for playgrounds? Obesitas is a horrible problem and I, for one, don't show any mercy to someone stuffing himself.

By the way, apparently the fastfood sector is somewhat more "evolved" in America. We simply don't have all these sizes here. Dear god, they sell half of a gallon of coke to ONE person?

Yea, I've seen it, and it was done a while ago, so you have to take that into account with the whole playground thing, also with the health problems, they still are terrible, but a lot of fast food companies have tried to make their food "more healthy" by cutting high fatty acids.

Ohh, and that guy is from my home state of West Virginia that makes that film.

Not since he's become a Barcelona fan.

It's in Spanish, not Catalan. And I'm a Barca fan too, they are a great team, and I have seen them many times in person.

I'm not a big fan of the documentary. This guy fucks up in quite a number of ways. His cause is noble, but he's hardly doing it the right way IMO. BTW I think it's all the coke that is causing the stomach pain he's been suffering from since day one. The fastfood industry really looks totally different in America though :).

Celebutard Paris Hilton got the name of her own videogame wrong

- Yeah Jeeks, she actually referred to it as "Ass Fucking" instead of "Ass Fooking". What a dipshit.

No, because we are fatter and crazier in America, Europeans don't eat as much as we do. Why do you think we are the fattest country in the world?
Well, there has got to be an explanation for that. And I don't buy that it is simply all the advertising you are getting. How come Americans and Europeans differ?

Dear god, this guy is eating fastfood for a couple of weeks and he's dying.
