New Zealand Denies Immigration to U.K. Wife Because She's Too Fat
Saturday, November 17, 2007
NEW YORK
New Zealand immigration officials are keeping a U.K. wife from joining her husband "down under" because they say she is too fat, the Daily Mail reports.
Click here to read the full report in the Daily Mail.
British citizens Rowan Trezise, 33, and Richie Trezise, 35, are living apart as she tries desperately to shed the pounds needed to comply with New Zealand guidelines that immigrants maintain a healthy BMI, or body mass index.
BMI is a weight-height ratio that estimates percentage of body fat. The New Zealand Immigration Service requires all applicants to undergo a complete medical examination, which includes body size measures like "waist circumference."
The regulations were supposedly put into place for budget reasons. The country's health care system cannot afford to open its doors to overweight immigrants, a spokesman for New Zealand's Fight the Obesity Epidemic explained to the Daily Mail.
Over half of New Zealand adults and nearly one-third of New Zealand children are already overweight or obese, according to the group. Those figures are expected to rise, as are the health problems associated with being overweight, such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
Richie Trezise managed to trim two inches off his waistline, the Daily Mail reports, bringing his BMI down and allowing him to take the first step toward the couple's dream of resettling in New Zealand.
Rowan Trezise is alone at home and still struggling.
In an interview with the paper, Richie Trezise admitted his wife is having trouble losing the weight a difficulty which may force the couple to abandon their overseas plans and stay in the U.K. for good.
They've set Christmas as their deadline.

Here's the ULTIMATE irony. The socialist larda$$ Michael Moore undoubtedly supports the socialized medical system in New Zealand, yet HE would be denied immigration entry due to his extreme obsesity.
Liberalism and socialism always lead to unintended and/or unforeseen consequences.
What is that hanging down between her legs? Her brain?

Please, please tell me that’s been photoshopped.
I think it’s a real pic.
I haven’t photoshopped it.

Here’s a silly ditty,
You can sing it right away
Now, here is what you say
So sing it while you may
Here’s a silly jingle,
You can sing it night or noon
Here’s the words, that’s all you need
‘Cause I just sang the tune:
Oh, I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her, you can have her,
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat
She’s too fat
She’s too fat for me
I get dizzy
I get numbo
When I’m dancing
With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo
I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat
She’s too fat
She’s too fat for me
Can she prance up a hill?
No, no, no, no, no
Can she dance a quadrille?
No, no, no, no, no
Does she fit in your coupe?
By herself she’s a group
Could she possibly
Sit upon your knee?
No, no, no
We don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
And she’s too fat for me
But she’s just right for me
We don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
Yeah, she’s too fat,
Much too fat
But she’s just right for me
She’s so charming
And she’s so winning
But it’s alarming
When she goes in swimming
We don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
But she’s just right for me
So I sure want her, you can’t have her
She’s just right for me
But she’s too fat!
She’s not too fat!
She’s just right for me!
She’s a twosome,
She’s a foursome
If she’d lose some
I would like her more some
I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat
Much too fat
She’s too fat for me
Hey!
This one is bizarre.

I’ve got a touch of Dunlap disease myself but I hope somebody will shoot me if I ever look anything like that.
I live in a city where that would be considered “slender.”
No, I think that’s really her belly button down at her ankles! LOL! Too busy thinking about her next meal than questioning the anti-Bush left-wing propaganda.
Where was that picture taken, I swear I believe I have seen that woman in the grocery stores right here where I live! I am serious!
