Why did they insist on putting this guy in front of the camera in the first place? It was a pity gesture from the get go, even before the transjesterization. This guy is the very antithesis to a video host: morbidly obese, a homely face, awkward.
At this point they're taking advantage of him. In normal times they would have brought in a psychotherapist for an intervention.
He's very knowledgeable, and a guy who just explains stuff without being as highly strung as Linus. I don't think putting him on the air is in any way a pity gesture. I'm not pro-fat by any means, but I enjoyed videos in which he made an appearance simply because of all this.
That's just Clarkson aging, even Hammond is getting a bit chonky in his old age.
Watching the latest GT when they went to Northern Norway and Sweden, they all seemed noticeably to old for the old hijinks, it felt far more scripted and set up than the old specials.
Maybe I have low standards, but his presentation seems fine. Massively obese people are always difficult to look at. I actually though well of Linus for putting this guy on. When you start using fat people as models, that's ridiculous. Fat people presenting information is fine. Based on my assessment of morbidly obese people, they're dumber than average. That's one reason you don't see a lot of hugely obese smart people. But you see a lot of em with quite a few extra pounds on.
Yeah I'm not obese, but I have a few extra on me. I mean literally a few, <10. It's really hard to work (ie sit on ass) every day and then go to the gym. In the sense of: I'll start the day fine and then 9 hours into it just be like fuck it I don't want to go to the gym any more and THEN have to finish my work. Some days.
What I should do is go in the morning.
I don't think it's any different from why anyone else is obese, though. You do even less physical work than many jobs where people at least walk around. But that's a matter of degree.
Anthony was very knowledgeable about both hardware and software. That is why he was brought on the show. No one was watching Linus tech tips based on how the people on it looked… people will probably stop with people calling Anthony Emily though.
rofl, but consider the following.

Maybe there's something wrong with me. I dunno.
Jeremy Clarkson isn't exactly the picture of health and he's on TV all the time because he's knowledgeable and good at presenting information.
Comparing this dude with Jeremy Clarkson. What on ...
Clarkson is better than Anthony in every category, the point is that if you're a good presenter you don't have to be attractive.

IT has a lot of overweight/obese people but that is caused mostly due to the job not really promoting a healthy lifestyle.
I go to the actual gym just to get out of the house. But to each his own.
