Fat Chance

Photo of vomiting woman removed from Leamington show

A photograph showing an obese woman vomiting has been removed from an art exhibition in Warwickshire after people complained that it was offensive. The thumbnail-sized image taken from the internet formed part of an obesity art exhibition at the Bath Place Community Venture in Leamington Spa.

John Yeadon, who brought the collection together, said he was being censored. Mr Yeadon, a former fine arts lecturer at Coventry University, said: "There was no discussion on this, the work was just removed, censored and then nobody came to explain why."

The four removed images include a picture of an obese, naked man sitting at a computer, another obese, naked man whose skin overhangs the chair he is sitting on, a photo of an obese woman vomiting and another photo of an obese, naked woman eating cake. Mr Yeadon said he found the pictures while browsing online and decided to include them in his exhibition next to photos of fast food. The collection, which is called, Fat: The mortality of the eater and the eaten, also includes blown-up images of fatty foods and the last meals of convicted US murderers that have been half eaten.

Mr Yeadon was browsing for what exactly? Did Mr Yeadon have the snake unleashed at the time. Dirty Mr Yeadon! This photo is dedicated to you.
