Might be poor judgement on the part of AOL, but Tanya became a real "Porker"

@ThisIsMandatory Requesting Paul Ulane pull his Athletes Let Themselves go article. It's petty and promotes bullying. Irresponsible!

Sorry Agnes I accidentally gave your post a thumbs down! You're right on though. This is petty. I'm so disgusted with AOL right now.

Agreed...this article is wrong. People grow up; they age! The body changes and things happen. This is why people have eating disorders and depression. This should really be taken down.

I'm amazed that AOL picked this up. This is grade school level bullying. What's up with that? This is immature and hateful. Its exactly the kind of thing our kids DO NOT need to see and imitate. Please remove this.

In a time where BULLYING is unacceptable...this writer shows that even adults continue to be mean and hurtful. Let's put Paul Ulane's photo up and ask for a critique of his mug shot. AOL needs to pull this off the site. Bad. This is just BAD.

This whole thing is mean-spirited.

Cruel, petty, ridiculous. Clearly the people who put this together have such low self esteem and no talent that they need to ridicule others for their looks. Shameful and pathetic.

I would comment on the appearance of the guy who is responsible for this , but I would be lowering myself to his level...total trash of an article/slideshow. I didn't mean to click on the link and could not believe the rudeness of the descriptions as well as the complete lack of reality. Shawn Kemp fat? He still has no body fat at all...
