i've been reading this as a comment about people losing weight
a lot lately. i've seen it pop up on the org too, when someone
lost some weight or someone should (in others opinion) lose an
extra bit of weight.

so what's up with the cocaine and tapeworm? is that just some
kind of joke or is it a reality?

i know about the cocaine, even seen it happen to some friends a
while ago. but the tapeworm? -eventho it's probably less of an
onslaught to your body than cocaine, sounds disgusting.

would someone actually willingly get a tapeworm just to lose a
certain amount of weight?

i just texted pepsi about this. surely she knows.

pepsi may have got the tapeworm, but she accidentally
killed it by drinking coke by the bucketload, disolving it

It was Jers being a fool...people do not intentionaly get a tapeworm...but the cocaine...will have the same effect as say crystal meth....overtime it will make you loose weight to the point you are nothing....IMHO....crystal meth will do it faster then cocaine.

yeah well, you know Jers might have started a trend here.

before you know it this 'news' will spread to other mssg
boards and hit this national news before july.

Oh god just what we don't need...Paris's tapeworm having a talkshow...that makes me wanna get about 10 tapeworms...waste away and die...just so I don't haveb to see that train wreck.

she she got rid of it by walking it off in her 80s platforms on the dutch sidewalks.

The tapeworm thing is all true. In the 1920's they were commonly used by women as a weight loss option. I think it was a bit of a phase. However, today, I would imagine less so....

imagine sitting at home with 10 tapeworms, waiting to waste away

Christopher said:

you don't know what a tapeworm is, do you?

this thread needs more Cheek

unfortunately, cocaine has some pesky side effects.

it dissolves your nose if you snort it, teeth if you rub it on your gums and stomach if you swallow it.

mmm, all the above are mightily attractive, even if you are skinny.

Also, it increases paranoia and depression, meaning that however much weight you lose, you won't be happy with it and your self image will be poor, thus sparking more cocaine to inflate your fragile ego,triggering a full on whitney.

such a bad look.

Whatever happened to the good old fashioned method of weight loss? Laxatives and cigarettes

the tapeworm weight loss legend goes waaaaay back in the performing arts community, but it's the kind of folklorish story that's lost its' potentency over time, though; however one of the most internationally infamous allegations of tapeworm's magical potency would be exemplified by opera diva (and Onassis mistress) MARIA CALLAS...in her day, the media swore up and down that that she went from a big hipped-brooklynite to international operatic swan practically overnight...through the ingestion of some magical pharmaceutical drug that would give her tapeworm...whether it's true or not, we'll probabably never know. but she did lose the weight rather drastically, in an incredibly short time, and this was before the age of the Scarsdale, Atkins, and Zone diets, and the advent of kickboxing and spinning classes (!) so anything could have been possible back then, I suppose...but to answer your question, this is where i originally heard of the magic tapeworm legend ...with all of the advances made in high impact cardio( and scientific discoveries about the efects of certain foods on certain body types), i would imagine the tapeworm thing would be obsolete these days...

Isten, Is this your tapeworm?
NSFW!!!
