I agree, life is absurd, but there are levels to absurdity and handing out trophies for being morbidly obese slobs is near the top.I think that the whole idea of winning anything in itself is adsorbed. During the world cup I met people depressed because the football team representing the country of their birth had been defeated. Utterly ridiculous! But, from a rational point of view, life is ridiculous. I prefer a fat woman than a skinny one, and a chubby one tather than an athletic one. What we celebrate in society doesn't necessary reflect reality.
