Woo!TJ: Just found this interview transcript on the BBC website.
BBC: Pac Man, thank you for agreeing to talk with us. The subject which everyone is talking about at the moment is your recent admission that you suffer from bulimia.
PAC MAN: Yes, it’s something I’ve been battling with for years and I’ve finally found the courage to talk about it.
BBC: So how did the bulimia manifest itself?
PAC MAN: Well…once I’d started eating the white dots, I just couldn’t stop myself. I would just eat and eat and eat until I’d finished all of them. Then I would go into the next maze and continue eating and eating until I felt sick. As soon as the game finished, I’d be in the bathroom throwing up. I’m just amazed that nobody noticed I had bulimia.
BBC: So after each binge on white dots you’d go force yourself to be sick due to the guilt of your overeating?
PAC MAN: I never needed to force myself to be sick. I’d throw up because I’d eaten too much due my bulimia.
BBC: Surely that’s just eating until you throw up, not actually bulimia? Some people might think that you’re using this revelation to boost sales of your memoirs which are being published next month.
PAC MAN: No, of course not. I have been struggling to hide this affliction all the time I’ve been in the public eye. People liked to make jokes about me but nobody could see that deep down inside, each dot I ate was a way of punishing myself.
BBC: So you didn’t enjoy your food and only over ate when you were depressed or worried?
PAC MAN: Don’t get me wrong, those little white dots are really tasty and I could eat them all day. It didn’t matter what mood I was in, bulimia made me want to eat all the time. Constantly. Non-stop.
BBC: Bulimia is usually seen as an eating disorder where sufferers attempt to control their weight when they feel the rest of their life is out of control. Some people are saying that you’re not a very successful bulimic.
PAC MAN: Well I know I’m quite round but I think the general public have a slightly skewed idea of what bulimia is. Most people associate the disease with young women. I’m sure nobody would have been surprised if it had been Ms. Pac Man who was admitting to being bulimic.
BBC: As I’m sure nobody would have been surprised if you’d just admitted you were a greedy, fat bastard. Pac Man, thank you.

No its better to just pretend you've looked at a post and then hijack it with something completley unrelated, taking interest away from the original poster who spent time working on something

I like the way that you made use of the initial B, B and C to relate your post to the original without hijacking it with something completley unrelated, taking interest away from the original poster who spent time working on something
