New Zealand Immigration prohibits the obese from moving into their country. They won’t let fat people in because these fatties will inevitably become a drain on the New Zealand health care system. Richie Trezise, (pictured above), went on a crash diet so he got in, but his wife just can’t drop the lbs. Rowan Trezise, (next to Richie), is stuck back in the UK eating cotton balls, and trying to get into New Zealand so she can get back together with her hubby.
New Zealand is batting 1000. First, “Flight of the Conchords”, then Paul’s Heli-skiing spectacular, and now this. If New Zealand is trying to win me over, it is working. They are finally making up for 10 years of Hobbit Hell.

I think there is also a ban on tranies in Kiwi land that is more to the point of the lass (if you please) not being able to enter the country.
Fat people need love too. I think this policy is ludacris and would like to provide examples of those who are 10 fat people that have changed my life in a positive way:
1) BIG
2) John Candy
3) Pun (inthemiddleoflittleitaly)
4) Mrs. Yingling
5) Garret Holmes
6) Luther Vandross
7) the fat white kid in the cosby show
8) Every brother in my neighborhood, in particular at Marlow's chicken wing spot on Georgia ave (mumbo sauce young!)
9) Robert "tractor" Trailer
10)Paul in college
F New Zealand. I'll take my ben's chili bowl and taco bell any day
im a bit torn here. i appreciate pf's point on the need for our big boned brothers and sisters to get loved. i think we could all name a few husky folks who are near and dear to our hearts. on the other hand, NZ is probably my second favorite country besides the good ol' us of a.
I feel terrible, and I think I misrepresented myself. I love fat people…love them! My family is full of diabetics! I just might love crazy people more….This guy went on a crash diet to lose weight, and then left his wife back in the UK to go enjoy NZ w/out her…and she is still married to him, and trying to lose weight? I feel bad that NZ is in the dark ages about fat, but am fascinated that people would jump through hoops to live there…NZ is intriguing.
don't beat yourself up lady. to me the point was made that the kiwis don't accept obesity as a disability, which is light years beyond the approach taken in our own country. further, it is intersting that this guy dropped some elbows in order to move, then left his wife back home. my guess is that he knew she couldn't lose the weight, and this was his out. in any event, bill cosby bouncing that fat whitey on his knee is forever etched into my subconcious.
