DOOJ - update

Thanks to the mild genius that is my kid brother, he's got a new definition of the word Dooj on Urban Dictionary.
Already my army of followers from around the internet are increasing the numbers on his definition to get the word set in stone as a positive word, rather than a negative one.

As I type, it's in position number 2.
After the other definitions were hammered after I asked for help in getting them thumbed down, I'm hoping that this new definition will become the real meaning of the word Dooj.

Go forth in glory.

Fat...

So obesity is becoming a problem. Turns out over 30% of kids aged between 2 and 15 are too fat, a figure that's increasing.
In adults, a quarter of all men and one-fifth of women are obese.

Steps are being taking by the government to eradicate fatty foods from school dinner tables; stuff like chips and burgers washed down with fizzy drinks are out. Salad and pastas are in. Vending machines with chocolate bars are being restocked with fruit. All good news.

Obviously, fat kids are going to get picked on at school. Fat adults also feel the pressure because of the media who promote the slim ideal. It's easy to see how the larger person could feel marginalised.
In response to such feelings, web sites such as The Big Blog are around to help promote fat acceptance. Not only do they want to promote fat acceptance, but also gain equal treatment for fat people in all walks of life.
They have over 1200 members all aiming for these goals.

What a stupid idea from a bunch of overweight morons.

Fat is costing the tax payer in the UK over £2 billion a year in treating fat-realted illnesses. Not to mention they look disgusting.
Big isn't beautiful. It's foul. Before I begin listing all my reasons, take a look at Gwyneth Paltrow:



The one on the left is real, and she's fit.
The one on the right is a mock up to show what she'd look like as a fat blob. She makes me want to vomit.

Fat acceptance societies need to be outlawed. They promote ill health and cost the tax payer too much.
Josef Stalin killed 3 million of his own people. Do we give his corpse a hug and say he didn't mean to be bad? No. But these morons from The Big Blog give fat people a hug and say it's ok to put yourself in the firing line for heart attacks, strokes, type2 diabetes, and just general sweat and blobbness.
Fat people can't fit their ass in public transport seats properly either. A fatter nation would mean making seats larger. Larger seats would mean bigger buses and planes. Bigger planes and buses would increase carbon emissions. Therefore fat people destroy the environment. In such an environmentally aware society, do we really want fat people to kill us all? No.

Gentleman, study the picture below and tell me which you'd prefer:


And for the ladies, which of these faces would you rather gaze upon?




I rest my case.

DOOJ

So I have a fledgling web design outfit.
I've made many sites, doing about one a month at the moment. To say it's all through word of mouth that's pretty good going I reckon.
Anyway, back when I was trying to think of a name for this venture, I wanted something that was easy to make a logo out of. It also needed the letters D and J.

And thus DOOJ was born.

It was working for me up until about an hour ago. It's even become a nickname to a lot of my online buddies.
The reason for the sudden change of mind is discovering people had placed definitions of the word in Urban Dictionary.
The most recent in November of last year has Dooj meaning "The act of having your groin or ass waxed by duct tape."

Plans are afoot to get this definition killed by having people click the thumbs down on it. By all means go there now and do it.
Of course, if I see a rapid escalation on the thumbs up then I hate you all.
