Sometimes, when I see something like This is Why You’re Fat: Where Dreams Become Heart Attacks (warning: not safe for the queazy), I think about how hard it would be to get such an elegantly simple, yet deep-fat fried idea past all the committees and lawyers and boards of a business or organization devoted to preventing heart disease.

The medium is the extra large.

(Sidenote: The site is being run on Tumblr.com , the same platform that some folks at Hammock used for some participatory , but less graphic, story-telling .)

    Thanks, Jon. As someone named HAMmock, I’m a big fan of pork. (But not that big.)
