With the whole lapband thing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapband Note: no % of successes given) and of course the classic gastric surgery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_bypass_surgery mortality & infection rates are greatly underestimated on wiki), you’d think you’d be covered if you were looking for insane ways to fit into a thin-fantasy-centric society…but no! There’s a new way to hurt yourself:
Yes! They are sewing onto her actual tongue a polyethylene patch so that eating food is painful! Aren’t you stoked? (Totally sarcastic, of course!)
Still think there’s a thin person inside of you waiting to get out? WAKE UP! If you’ve considered any scary procedure then you’re probably fat and so fucking what?! 2 in 3 Americans are fat! So you have friends! You are worth more than what any thin-inspired marketing campaign tells you. You are a human being who deserves to live without being discriminated against or shamed!
I have been personally following this case since it first hit the news 17 years ago. I was just a rocker kid back then, too. These guys do not deserve to be behind bars! If you’ve seen the documentaries (and if you haven’t, please go rent them NOW!) you know that there was absolutely no physical evidence used in their conviction. It was all heresay, conjecture and outright rumors & lies! If you can’t afford to buy or donate directly, please pass along the links and ask your friends if they can. Believe me, every little bit helps! And now Johnny Depp joins the millions of voices speaking out to Free The West Memphis Three:
Johnny Depp Speaks Out for Convicted Trio
by Mike Ryan · February 23, 2010
Last year, Johnny Depp played John Dillinger, a one-time inmate who escaped from prison in “Public Enemies.” Now he’s trying to help others find freedom. The actor is raising awareness of an attempt to secure a new trial for three inmates, who he feels have been wrongly convicted. Depp will be appearing on “48 Hours Mystery” this Saturday to make his case.
Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were convicted of the gruesome May 1993 killing of three West Memphis, Arkansas, children. The convicted trio was dubbed the “West Memphis 3.” Citing a mishandled crime scene, a botched investigation, and the media scrutiny surrounding the case, many – including Eddie Vedder and Depp’s former girlfriend Winona Ryder – believe the three accused were wrongly convicted. Even Rick Murray, the father of one of the victims, Christopher Byers, has expressed doubts about the guilt of the “West Memphis 3.”
On the show, Depp says, “I firmly believe Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley are totally innocent. It was a need for swift justice to placate the community.” Depp continues, “Damien Echols is on death row to be killed by lethal injection.” At the time of their arrests, all three men were 18 years old or younger, and Echols has now spent more than 15 years on death row.
How committed is Depp to their cause? He took a break from promoting his new film — the big-budget 3D extravaganza, “Alice in Wonderland” — to tape the segment for “48 Hours Mystery.”
