I thought this was one of the stupidest things ever until I figured out that it was actually a comprimise. The feature they originally wanted was the Fat People Removal Filter - "Like ya know how you've got this really great shot of you and some friends except that you've got the 'fat friend' in the shot and it takes you like HOURS to photoshop them out ?" ...

" what if you turned the camera sideways for a portrait shot? wouldnt this make you look fatter than you already were? " i think it would give you a bigger head and larger feet.. two things people who buy this want any way ;) u know what i mean.. big feet.. big....

Wouldn't guys be more inclined to buy a camera which does the opposite? I don't want to give my gf the impression that her cake diet is working.

I, for one, would welcome a camera that would take off about 200 lbs...

This could be the dumbest feature ever :-) What's next...digital hair replacements? Plastic surgery FX? Cellulite removal filters ? Oh...how about a "trophy partner" that is always standing next to you in the photos? Crap...still got another 20 minutes on the stair machine...hmmm, the slimming camera is not such a bad idea after all....

That's f-ing hilarious. As America gets fatter we rely on technology to make us look thinner rather than actually addressing the problem. I've got an even better idea: contact lenses with the same distortion built-in. That way you can look at yourself in the mirror and think you're thinner, and you can look at other people and think they're thinner too - no need for beer-goggles, just use ThinSpecsÂ®!
