Looking for fit people inspiration, tried to watch a Cirque du Soleil special: "Luzia." Couldn't get past seven minutes. All the women "acrobats" were chubby - doing less than spectacular routines. There were two trim men, and they were indeed competent, but in the minority. The fat singer then came on stage. That was it for me.

Of course, Canada is steeped now in SJW PC HAES culture, so I suppose it shouldn't be surprising. But I am disappointed.

Normally Cirque du Soleil has world class acrobats... I had to go find a video

Holy fat acceptance pandering Batman! My jaw dropped when i saw that chubby chick doing somersault tumbles through the hoolahoop. My daughters did more advanced stuff in their acro dance class when they were about 9 or 10.

Addendum on revisiting: Later on it does get better with real acrobats, but now I'm somewhat jaundiced.

It's clear they're there to pander to the fat acceptance crowd.
