Hunger pangs
DVD
The British GQ of this month features an inspiring interview with Brüno. (The US GQ had some pictures of the naked Brüno; the British GQ only offers pictures of a more or less fully dressed Brüno.)
The interviewer asks: “Have you ever considered a Brüno fitness dvd?”
Brüno answers: “Zat’s so done. Ich am actually considering ze vorld’s first eating disorder DVD. You know, instructions on how to throw up discreetly in public (Prada zip-up sunglasses cases are perfect), which foods taste best on ze vay back up (profiteroles, peach yoghurt, spaghetti carbonara, bananas und Häagen-Dazs dolce de leche) und what to eat to bulk you out and stave off hunger pangs (tampons – heavy flow.)”
I’m not so sure about the tampons, although eating tampons may be a better solution than let’s say the South Beach Diet, but instructions on how to throw up in public are very much needed.

Two weeks ago I walked a Bernese mountain dog who is known for eating anything that he comes across on the sidewalk, e.g. cigarette butts. On our walk, he managed to devour a used tampon.
Thinspirational! I think Pro-Ana members can't wait to eat their tampons and see the DVD for more great advice.
(Too much food for thought, of course)
Product proposal
Why isnt there a net you can swallow and that sticks under your throat so you can taste the food but it will not enter your stomach. When you get out the net (which is attached to two teeth, eventually with a hook) you will not gain too much weight and you can feed your dog with the remains. For drinks you can use a sort of condom (with olivetaste when you drink a martini)
Food for thought
Is life with all its diet gurus and food fads becoming so sickening we badly need instructions for throwing up in public?
Or is it not the food itself, but modern life in general?
Perhaps when Arnon Grunberg leaves his home he feels some nausea coming up? Or is it the need to throw up in public, sec?
Like we eat in restaurants with a knife and fork, we surely need to agree on some 'civilized' way of throwing up in public.
product proposal
a throw up mask on which front you can write an apology or something funny so that people can read that while you throw up behind the mask. The mask has a beard and behind the beard there is a vomit reservoir, you can also put up the mask when you don't have to vomit but for other reasons. Or you use the foodnet which i described before the other way around, people would be suprised, they expect substance all over but instead they get a sort of rolling tongue filled with vomit out of your mouth. this product can be a huge success during carnival-alike festivities.
sasha is the man. I will marry him once.
I'd do it just for his last name. To have a kid that's named Cohen... I think that's the thing we all have to strive for.

I agree.
Years ago I already proposed a kind of ‘throw up deposit box’ next to the actual ‘urinoir’ and ‘WC’ for use in our youth café. The boss got angry with me. But now I am happy to see my ideas are submerging. Eat that, Panamarenko!
in public
Arnon,
What does 'in public' mean?
On the street? In a restaurant? In the theatre?
At your table when you have guests? In your bed?

instructions!
Arnon,
Your problems may be solved!
Diana Monda Dill wrote a book about throwing up in public:
'How to vomit without making a mess'.
