I am Joe’s Kidney

Okay, so in Anatomy class we watch these videos ( “I am Joe’s -insert organ here-” ) and today we watched “I am Joe’s Kidney”. I actually enjoy watching these videos, they are so lame they are funny. And they seem like they are from 30 years ago.

During this one I had a ‘WTF?’ moment. They were talking about the Kidneys (dur) and how Joe got FLOATING KIDNEY!!! *lame corney scare music*. Then Joe’s ‘kidney’ (the organ narrates the entire time lol) tells what Floating Kidney is. It says that it is caused when the protective fat around the kidney is lessened and the kidney kinda floats around without the fat surrounding it. Okay, I get that. But then the kidney was all “Joe doesn’t know it yet, but he better watch his weight!” (in a “he’s gonna get fat” kinda way)… WTF? I was pretty much just told that losing weight was the cause for floating kidney, and this dumb fucking kidney is telling me that joe better lose some of them pounds…. It doesn’t make any sense! Stupid kidney pretty much just told me that I better not be obese, but if I lose the weight that makes me obese, then I might get floating kidney. Gee wiz oh golly.

Maybe I was tired because it was the first period of the day and misunderstood. It’s not above the media to, you know, send mixed messages though, so it doesn’t surprise me (people are living longer, but look at all the bad fatties! Love your body at any weight, here’s how to lose 10 pounds in 10 days! etc. etc.).

Yep…

45 days of school left! wooo!!
