Screw up newspapers and make a name for yourself!

It's ridiculous how boring sunday times can be. Take for example the fitness section where people email in photographs of their bodies and then describe how they achieve it. Which of course reinforces the perception of looks being all-important in our superficial and shallow society. Which of course should not be the case. But the worst thing is that it's so godamn boring. Almost everyone says the same things. Sample below:








Diet: I try to avoid oily food. I only allow myself some on special occasions. I eat 10 boiled eggs a day. I take plenty of carbohydrates and buckets of protein drink. I keep my meals small, so i eat more often (way to waste your time, you vain idiot)

Exercise: I go to the gym x times a week (where x is equal or more than 3) i do bench press, and whatever other stuff they have in the gym. I also have dragon boating training x times a week (don't know why these people usually from dragon boating). Which means i like spend half my life exercising and the other half resting from the exercise.

Which brings me to my conclusion that these people have nothing better to do than to spend their lives obsessing over their bodies and making them buff.

The Challenge

The Challenge is to send in a picture of your buff body, hell, it doesn't even have to be your own body, there's so many pictures on the internet, and write your diet and exercise as such (or to similar effect)

Diet: Oh i don't have any restricitons on diet, in fact i eat oily food like KFC chickens and char kway tiao for every meal. I love fats. After every meal, i wash them down with soya sauce. yup, i drink it. And every night, i eat a tub of ice-cream.

Exercise: What exercise? Oh you mean watching television and studying. I do that all the time. No wonder i have such a buff body.

I wonder what'll everyone's reaction be. At least it's a break from what we see every sunday.

Another challenge is for thursday's urban part of the newspaper. If ever anyone of you ever get chosen for the 'hey, good-looking' section, be sure to be armed with this reply:

reporter: Do you think you are good-looking?
you: No way man, i think i look like frankenstein.

help make singapore newspapers more interesting.
