My head is spinning a bit here. \u00a0Sarah Arrow<\/a>\u00a0pointed out to me a guy named Kenneth Tong,\u00a0 billed as a \u201cHong Kong playboy\u201d who spent six days on the cast of the British version of \u201cBig Brother\u201d back in 2009. \u00a0 He also advocates what he calls \u201cmanaged anorexia\u201d and is getting ready to sell a miracle pill that will get you from a size 12 to a size 6 in three weeks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Really<\/em>?\u00a0 WTF?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

His Twitter link takes you to a closed Facebook page so who knows what happens there. \u00a0But here\u2019s a peak at some of the messages on his stream:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

If I managed to give one person \u201cfood for thought\u201d as opposed to them snacking on Crisps or Chocolate, I\u2019d be more fulfilled than you.<\/p>\r\n

@JoleneDillon<\/a>\u00a0Personally read your essay. Well done on wishing to be size zero but had your anorexia been supervised, you\u2019d have been fine.<\/p>\r\n

Do hope the youth read my Tweets. Weight-loss can never start too young and snacking can never be allowed to begin.<\/p>\r\n

To not be thin is a sin. I\u2019m singlehandedly brave enough to champion this size zero agenda, which you\u2019ve all oppressed for far too long.<\/p>\r\n

Glad my size zero message is being heard globally. Honestly, to have an imperfect body is to have an imperfect soul\u2026<\/p>\r\n

Only the thin truly win. My Size Zero Pill will change lives, it\u2019s like the modern day Schindler\u2019s List. Will I be your salvation?<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Really?\u00a0 Using Jewish people subjected to the Holocaust as an example to aspire to?\u00a0 WTF? \u00a0I\u2019m reticent to write this post; I\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s what he wants.\u00a0 He\u2019s definitely enjoying the attention and has even managed to drag Simon Cowell into this. \u00a0Thank you Simon for your responses:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Just been informed about @MrKennethTong<\/a>.\u00a0 Twitter.com has a new village idiot\u2026 In fact he doesn\u2019t even deserve the village. He\u2019s an idiot.<\/p>\r\n

@MrKennethTong<\/a>\u00a0You keep telling people to lose weight\u2026 The only weight people should lose is you. You\u2019re not worth my time.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Basically this guy refuses to have sex with anyone who\u2019s not a size zero (I guess you\u2019re gonna have to show him your dress tags) and thinks that if you\u2019re not a zero, than you\u00a0are\u00a0<\/em>a zero.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So I did a little digging. \u00a0Some statistics:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
