idiocracy approaches

No sex please, we're British and we're lazier than ever

We can't be bothered to walk up a few flights of stairs, balk at the idea of running to catch a bus and would rather snooze than have sex with our partners, according to a report published today.

Despite a huge government push to encourage healthy living, Britons are lazier than ever, concludes the study conducted by Nuffield Health, a not for profit health organization.

One in six people would rather watch a TV programme they didn't like than leave the sofa to change the channel if their remote control was broken. A third (36%) of the 2,000 adults surveyed for the study said they would not run to catch a bus and more than half (59%) would not walk up two flights of stairs to reach their office, choosing instead to take the lift.

More than half of dog owners (52%) did not walk their dogs, and two-thirds (64%) of parents admit to always being too tired to play with their children.

The laziness epidemic appears to have spread to the bedroom, with almost three-quarters (73%) of couples saying they regularly do not have enough energy at the end of the day to have sex, with more than half (58%) blaming a lack of fitness.

San Francisco, CA – On July 29, 2009 SF Recovery Theatre hosted the Screening Room venue at the SF Theater Festival in Yerba Buena Gardens and brought the house down.

Grier stated, “I want to take a moment to thank my friends actors that made this what is was, braved personal adversity and completed the circle by channeling and rekindling the Bay Area Black Theater experience.”

The opening will take place October 17, 2009 in the Tenderloin, with performances to follow.

Geoffrey Grier heads the Company and also host the Mr. Geoffrey’s Show, a local cable television show that focuses on the issues, concerns and events of the Tenderloin community. Grier feels that the theatre’s productions is the only safe place that people of different cultures, races and religious backgrounds can experience the lifestyle of another without feeling threatened.

While many people are still battling substance abuse, mental health, or housing problems, it becomes a formidable task for Recovery Theatre to assist those in need,  to transcend them to a healthier, progressively positive life.

Article on Sac show at Jay Jay

"How could you resist a show titled "Fresh Young Things"? The young things in question are not baby green beans but artists fresh out of graduate school. As for "young," the term seems to be a bit elastic, since most of the participants are in the 30-something range."
