Anyone even remotely cool or normal using one of those backpacks on wheels?
About 95% of everyone i have ever seen using one, is a fatty and the other 5% have been socially inept rejects. You know the kind who still wear a fanny pack.

Just curious if you have ever seen anyone even remotely regular pulling their backpack behind them around campus? Or any place for that matter?

I saw 3 completely normal elementary school kids rolling em' home the other day... GOtta assume those would be huge for the Youngins'

I'm so manly, I use a hiking day pack.

Actually, I only use it because it's the best damn backpack I've ever used and it's lasted 9 years now. I foresee it lasting me all the way through college and beyond also. This thing is likely to go to the grave with me. I had this way before the whole The North Face fad, which I still find to be stupid.

manpurse ftw?

I prefer to call it a messenger bag.

No one at my middle school or high schools had a roller bag or i probably would have kicked them back then.

It would be pretty funny to kick a fatties roller bag at college, but i don't think i will.

See the kick is executed by kicking the bag sideways (with a sweeping motion with the leg) into oncoming traffic, perferably in front of angry black females, who then proceed to yell and the unsuspecting roller while you duck and laugh.

I can imagine it would have been great fun, but this is where i went to high school



too many stairs for a roller bag to be effective.

I also went to an alternative high school for a while, but if anyone would have tried to sport a roller bag they would have gotten beaten and/or robbed.

iirc it was modeled after some french château and was originally going to be a hotel. The hotel went bankrupt before it was finished and they turned it into a school.

A photograph of a ***** anorexic woman appeared on Monday in Italian newspapers and on billboards to highlight the effects of the illness during Milan fashion week while promoting a fashion brand.

Written above the photo of the woman, used to advertise fashion group Flash&Partners's clothing brand Nolita, are the words: "No Anorexia".

The picture was shot by the controversial Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani, who in 1992 photographed a man dying of AIDS for a campaign for clothing group Benetton.

Toscani's aim was "to use that ***** body to show everyone the reality of this illness, caused in most cases by the stereotypes imposed by the world of fashion", Flash&Partners said in a statement.

"Everyone says it's ugly but I don't think it is, it really brings the message home," said passer-by Giuseppina Ravelli after seeing the billboard in Milan.

"The people who reach these kind of levels have such great problems it is good that they use their illness to teach others about it."

But the president of Italy's Association for the Study of Anorexia, Fabiola De Clercq, said the woman used for the photo should be in hospital and the image was "too crude".

Far from helping women suffering from anorexia, the photo may make many of them feel envious of the model and determined to become even thinner than her, she said.

Super-skinny models gained mass media attention last year after Madrid Fashion Week banned girls with a body mass index of below 18 from its catwalks (18.5-25 is considered the "normal" range).

Milan responded by announcing a new catwalk code of conduct which obliges models to carry medical certificates, and opened fashion week with a show featuring more shapely models.

Isabelle Caro, the French woman who appears in the photo, has been anorexic for 15 years, weighs 31 kg (68 lb) and suffers from the skin disease psoriasis.

"I hid myself and covered myself up for too long," she told Vanity Fair magazine in an interview to be published on Wednesday. "Now I want to show myself without fear even though I know my body is repugnant."

The Nolita campaign has received backing from the Ministry of Health, and the statement quotes Health Minister Livia Turco saying it can "promote responsibility towards the problem of anorexia".
