Things that make me turn off the radio

Overheard during a Think Out Loud discussion of health care reform: some guy (a guest, not a caller!) suggesting that [schools?] should
'notify parents of their children's height, weight and body mass index, so that they can be empowered and take charge'

Can you name all the reasons why this is a horrible idea?

if current aesthetics declare you unattractive, clearly you must have a tremendously shortened life span AND be morally deficient somehow.

Well, this is why weight loss surgery is so great. By losing a hundred pounds you can suddenly gain back all your moral character! Who needs church or therapy?

Yes, clearly moral character is proportional to how much self-control and effort you exert in your life. After weight loss surgery you must eat very small portions of foods that will not immediately pass undigested through your system. All that self-control and effort gives you +1000 moral points!

If you sign up now you can get one hundred (100) extra virgins once you get to heaven.

I think the supply of virgins is fixed and everybody has to share. Which... yeah.
