[edit] Weight Watchers quote

Surely, I'm not the only person who doesn't see it as a "marketing quote," as alleged? It's in the source regardless, I won't add it back without some extra input, but still. --badlydrawnjeff talk 02:54, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Here's the original source for the quote[1] - the source is not even weightwatchers directly, its random people on their website forums who were asked for a article list of 16 diet food they "can't live without". It may not be a "marketing quote" in the sense of direct advertising copy for Pirate's Booty but its a certainly a promotional-style phrasing in support of a commercial enterprise i.e. WeightWatchers.

How does it support Weight Watchers in this case? --badlydrawnjeff talk 13:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

As of the time of this comment, every sentence (with the exception of the governor claim, which I see nothing to indicate they're the same person yet) is sourced. Before adding fact tags, please take a look at the references at the end of paragraphs - they source everything that comes before it. --badlydrawnjeff talk 13:34, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I doubt they're the same person, and have removed the "fact" from the Main Page. -- tariqabjotu 15:09, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
