unfortunately, personally I think the only (or at least main) publicity this gets will be for the media to take the mickey out of the guy. Surprised there isnt a joke about it in our joke section yet.......someone's slow this week.....
If it could highlight the problem/issues in a positive way then that will be a great thang though.

I wasnt saying there *should* be a joke here about it, far from it.........I meant that sometimes people are too quick to find summat funny about a serious issue, which kind of dilutes, or desensitises, the issue. If that makes sense? If the media especially start off by cracking funnies about poor Prescot not being skinny then the serious nature and opportunity for bringing the whole problem to the forefront, is lost.
Alot of people dont know or understand the difference between anorexia and bulimia and mis-information, funny or serious, does not help.
