                *Recently, in a large city in Australia ,*
                *a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared
                in the window of a gym.*
                *It said, "This summer,*
                *do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"

                A middle-aged woman,*
                *whose physical characteristics did not match those of
                the woman on the poster,*
                *responded publicly to the question*
                *posed by the gym.


                To Whom It May Concern,
                Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea
                lions, curious humans.)*
                *They have an active sex life,*
                *get pregnant and have adorable baby whales.
                They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing
                themselves with shrimp.*
                *They play and swim in the seas,*
                *seeing wonderful places like Patagonia ,*
                *the Bering Sea*
                *and the coral reefs of Polynesia .*
                *Whales are wonderful singers*
                *and have even recorded CDs.
                They are incredible creatures*
                *and virtually have no predators*
                *other than humans.*
                *They are loved, protected and admired*
                *by almost everyone in the world.

                Mermaids don't exist.*
                *If they did exist,*
                *they would be lining up outside the offices*
                *of Argentinean psychoanalysts*
                *due to identity crisis. Fish or human?*
                *They don't have a sex life*
                *because they kill men who get close to them, not to
                mention how could they have sex?*
                *Just look at them ... where is IT?*
                *Therefore, they don't have kids either.*
                *Not to mention,*
                *who wants to get close to a girl who smells*
                *like a fish store?

                The choice is perfectly clear to me:*
                *I want to be a whale.

                P.S. We are in an age*
                *when media puts into our heads*
                *the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I
                prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner
                with a man who makes me shiver, and a piece of chocolate
                with my friends.*

                *With time, we gain weight because we accumulate so much
                information and wisdom in our heads that when there is
                no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies.
                So we aren't heavy; we are enormously cultured, educated
                and happy.  Beginning today, when I look at my butt in
                the mirror I will think, ¨Good grief, look how smart I am!¨*
