That channel has been a black hole of COPS reruns for a while now, not that Esquire will be much better.

EDIT: Just saw a commercial for weight gain pills. I thought we were at the point people realized what it took to get fat. (Although it seemed like it was directed at women with high metabolisms who couldn't get curves.)

Actually trying to intentionally get fat (and stay that way) is actually a lot harder than you might expect.

It all depends on the person really.

Well yeah, exactly. Someone who's body is already predisposed to keeping them really thin (a really high metabolism or something?) probably won't be able to intentionally put on a ton of fat (and keep it on, that's the key part) easily.

I guess you could gain weight by building muscle, but that's not really the same thing.

I have had around 151 steam market transactions :P. They cap you at 200 unless you fill out the form.

Have a library of around 500+ games so I have been draining all my card drops and selling them. Plus I dumped all the TF2 promo items on the market.

Here is their FAQ

Yes, but as a guy with a natural bit of a gut, I would kill to be one of those skinny little tiny guys.

With women I can understand a bit more, but the guy on the commercial wanting to gain weight threw me off. I don't know any reason a guy would want to gain fat.

Oh, you know, some disease hit so that he was rapidly losing weight and needed to gain some. Or he wanted to bulk up, and you bulk up by increasing caloric intake and transforming it to muscle by exercising.
