If the insipid, family-friendly, Christians-über-alles propaganda that
is unleashed every holiday season has you dreading the end of every
year, do not despair. Relief is at hand, and it is a supreme irony that
it should come from mainstream media sources that normally drown us in
the garbage I just spoke of. Columbia Pictures woke up and realized
that there are people who don't fit into the Nuclear Family, 2.3
children mold that MoneyMas is normally marketed to. That's what Bad
Santa is all about.
Our story focuses on a failure who fritters away his years by working stores as a Santa. As the film opens, we learn why he bothers with the Santa routine. His midget sidekick sneaks into the store he is casing, then disables the alarm, and together, the team loots the store for all they can get. Our main hero, however, wastes away everything he makes from this endeavor. As a result, he is there casing a store the next year, but things don't go quite as smoothly as he plans during the year depicted in this film.
First, he meets a rather attractive bartender. Played by Lauren Graham of Whingemore Girls fame, her turn in this film could not be more far removed from what she is known for. It is almost as if she wanted to take a big dump on people's expectations of her. In this endeavor, Lauren's character is a foul-mouthed nymph with a Santa fetish. Speaking of foul-mouthed, it takes some real nerve to make a MoneyMas film that, at 243 profanities, sets the record for MoneyMas films. Before Bad Santa, I doubt there even was a record of this type for MoneyMas films.
Two major names were signed onto this film, but had to drop out due to other commitments. These being Bill Murray and Jack Nicholson. It is just as well that they did, because the casting here is perfect. Who else but Billy Bob Thornton could deliver lines about what his female costars aren't going to do right for a week with such conviction? Billy Bob says that he was actually drunk during filming. Which adds a whole new dimension to the film - trying to determine which scenes were filmed drunk or sober.
There are going to be people crying that this film is offensive, or not in the "true spirit of MoneyMas" (whatever that means). Quite honestly, with the saccharine feel of MoneyMas, we need *more* films like Bad Santa, not less. The holiday suicide rate would be reduced if people who saw this time for what it was, a time of worshiping the bigger wallet, had greater access to material like this.
I gave Bad Santa a ten out of ten. There is no film on Earth that has been marketed to tie in with MoneyMas, not Santa With Muscles or even the Star Wars Holiday Special, that I have enjoyed this much. See it once, see it twice, see it as many times as you need to get through the so-called Holiday Season.

This movie is a breath of fresh air in so many ways. It's hilarious. On the surface, it's off-putting. Just for starters, there's the profanity, and the dedicated immorality of Billy Bob Thornton's mall Santa character, Willie, and everyone around him. In a way Willie is like a particularly evil version of Bill Murray's grumpy curmudgeon character in Groundhog Day. But Bad Santa has so much the ring of truth to it. When Willie -- a thief, alcoholic and conman -- is forced to look after a determinedly sweet little boy, he discovers he does have a heart somewhere in there and he might just be a rough diamond. The little boy is just the best actor. In fact, you will rarely see a better performance from a child. Some of it is the script, but also the boy plays it so naturally deadpan that most of his lines are hilarious. Good on the directors for going with someone unconventional and not just the cookie-cutter cute kid. The caustic, crude, very un-jolly Billy Bob Thornton is born to play the role of Bad Santa. The movie won't be to everyone's taste, but those with any sense of subtlety and a wicked sense of humour will find it a joy.

This is a cynical and rather amoral film about a man who has had enough
of life. He drinks and drinks, swears, pees in his pants and somehow
still pull the ladies. Well this is Hollywood and he is an expert safe-
cracker. Along with his midget assistant who plays the elf, Billy Bob
Thornton plays Santa Claus at various shopping malls every Christmas.
However this is a prelude to rob the malls and spend the rest of the
time getting drunk in Miami before next Christmas arrives.
As Santa's go, he is mean, foul mouthed and nasty. He is bad Santa. As a comedy it does not really work unless you like seeing an adult being mean to kids although John Ritter and Bernie Mac do provide the laughs. Its more of a black comedy-drama of one man on the edge who finds some sort of humanity when he encounters a kid and see's some genuine kindness and forms some sort of bond and understanding.
Without doubt the picture wrong-footed me as I expected a big lapse into sentimentality at the end of the film but Billy Bob Thornton's Santa has a heart smaller than the Grinch and although there is some light at the end and Bad Santa does thaw its not a mushy ending and there are other's in the film who are more nastier and cynical than Bad Santa.
I think Billy Bob played an awesome Santa, in a homely poor looking "Eating, drinking, shitting f**king Santa Claus". I could picture Santa being like that if he lost his job or retired, just going downhill in life with the booze drinking and everything. My jaw dropped when I heard Santa curse in front of the kids and not to mention coming to work either hung over or drunk and sneaking a booze. The best part was when he came to work... I guess both hung over and drunk the same time, trips over everything and getting into a fight with a statue horse, (yeah, pretty weird if you ask me) while the kids were like OMG!! I was wondering why a kid would want a stuffed elephant, pink or purple. That kid had some issues going on with him, as well as his oblivious grandma who always passes out on the couch.

It's offensive, repulsive and foul-mouthed. It's rude. It's lewd. It's entirely filthy. It's constantly depressing. It's completely irresistible, outrageously funny, and it's inherently decent. It's holiday fun for everyone, except for kids. Rated R for vulgar language and gross humor, this is an adult's comedy. At its heart, Bad Santa displays the bonding relationship between Willie and The Kid. Willie is a miserable alcoholic sleazebag crook who makes his due by pulling apparently clever department store heists each X-mas while posing as a mall santa. The Kid is bright, inexperienced, and irritating and in assured need of a father figure. These two have a lot to offer each other. Billy Bob Thornton plays a very bad santa, and gives one of the top performances seen from a comedy. Bad Santa is Thornton's movie. Bernie Mac and John Ritter do their best to try and steal the show. Mac is deplorable, and Ritter is adorable. I cannot stress enough John Ritter's pleasant performance. This was his best role, and he was on the verge of soaring into a greater stardom. The same could be said for Bernie Mac. God rest their souls in loving memory. Tony Cox has a number of enjoyable roles, though he is at his best here as Marcus, Willie's loathsome partner in crime. Brett Kelly is fine and perfect as The Kid. Lauren Graham fits this movie well, but is relatively out of her league. Let me say, Bad Santa is incredibly presented and well-designed; it has brilliant progressive storytelling. It really stands out in this area. Every scene is purposeful. I give Bad Santa a great 8. I could watch it time and time again.
This film is about two men who dresses up as Santa and the elf to rob
shopping malls.
"Bad Santa" is a very crude film, with lots of swearing, sex and alcohol. It's the exact opposite if what we expect from Santa. Such out of stereotype behaviour is at times funny, but what stands out from "Bad Santa" is the touching bond between Santa and the plump kid. The unlikely bond between them signals their desire for friendship and attachment. The kid's plea for a present from Santa, and his genuine offer of friendship to Santa is touching. Santa's effort regarding the pink elephant is satisfactory to watch, bringing warmth to the hearts. "Bad Santa" is not the typical Christmas film, but it still touches your heart with its unique way.
"Bad Santa" is the perfect antidote for those people tired of the usual
run of feel good and family friendly holiday fare. It's got one hell of
a funny and extremely profane script, and presents a man who just may
be one of the worst Santas ever.
He's Willie (Billy Bob Thornton), a miserable alcoholic with a bad case of self hatred who lets himself get dragged into one department store robbery after another by his conniving "elf" partner, Marcus (Tony Cox). Things finally take a different turn for Willie when he encounters Thurman (Brett Kelly), a portly, bullied young boy who lives a very isolated existence; he's got a dad in prison and a grandmother (an uncredited Cloris Leachman) who's not all there. The kids' sincerity and need for friendship set off something inside Willie, who after all this time has found something to live for.
Thornton is wonderful in this role, one of the best of his career, and the other roles are equally as well cast. Cox is a hoot, as is Lauren Tom as the getaway driver, Lauren Graham as the sexy bartender who lusts after Santa Claus (!), and late talents Bernie Mac, as a security chief who learns the truth about Willie & Marcus, and John Ritter (to whom the film is dedicated) who's good as the uptight store manager. Director Terry Zwigoff ("Crumb", "Ghost World") makes the most of the blackly comic screenplay by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. It's a delight because it's so fresh and unpredictable in terms of what outrageousness the filmmakers will sling at us.
Plus, there's just something irresistible about the time honoured premise of giving a pathetic character his much needed chance at redemption. (The film really isn't too far removed from "A Christmas Carol" in this regard.) As much as we laugh at Willie, we're too uncomfortably aware of how much his life stinks, and how well he knows it. As a result, Zwigoff maintains a really fine balancing act between the wilder moments and the more human ones.
Provided the viewer is more than ready to handle all of the obscenities, and a story that gets dark at times, they should have a high old time with "Bad Santa".
Nine out of 10.
Yes i regret for don't see this film in the cinema in 2004 here in Mexico City. The reason is that i'm not a big fan of Christmas films and also i'm not a big fan of Billy Bob Thornton (only in The Man who wasn't there, that's a great performance). Finally about two months ago i buy the DVD of Crumb and i love it and well i buy also Bad Santa because is the same director. And i really like it. Great characters and really great humor with the style of the producers (Coen brothers) but i put 9 because with Billy B. T. character and his dwarf friend and also the fat kid this could be a better film because this characters have really great humor. I think it missed to see more about the characters but well still a nice film to watch.

This film made me laugh out loud all the way through. I love grumpy, sarcastic and cynical characters and BB Thornton's Santa was the epitome of this. While it falls into the "bad guy turns good" category, it is far from the cheesy American nonsense we are used to. You spend the whole film just wishing that the main character will turn the corner and be that good guy and when he finally does, it is not in the traditional sense, he still keeps that sarcastic pessimism to the very end. Highly entertaining.
There is killer 1-liners throughout, watch this film.
"I'm an eating, drinking smoking, sh#tting Santa" "How could someone drop me on my own head?" "You ain't going to sh#t right for a week!"
In this wickedly subversive comedy, written by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa
and directed by Terry Zwigoff, Billy Bob Thornton plays a department store
Santa who drinks on the job, cusses a blue streak in front of the kids, wets
himself in his suit, and fornicates with patrons in the ladies' dressing
rooms on his coffee breaks. As if all that weren't enough, when his annual
stint is finished, he turns around and burglarizes the very stores that have
hired him for the season. Willy's partner-in-crime is a midget named Marcus
who dresses as one of Santa's little helpers but who is really the `brains'
of the operation. Willy has sunk so low in his life that he makes periodic
attempts at doing himself in. One Christmas he meets a lonely young boy who
believes that this burned-out shell of a man is the real Santa. The kid
begins to follow Willy around, badgering him with endless questions about
Santa's personal life in the North Pole, utterly unfazed by the rude, crude
responses he receives in return.
The best thing about `Bad Santa' is its total irreverence, its complete indifference to any and every code, standard and tradition. It is utterly without shame. While familiar carols play endlessly on the soundtrack, Thornton and his crew act out a macabre black comedy that literally rips to shreds every sacred image and sacrosanct concept related to the world's most cherished holiday. Even the choice of setting summer-like Phoenix with its searing hot pavements and fully blooming foliage in the dead of midwinter reflects the skewed, off-kilter tone of the film. There's something downright perverse about lyrics like `let it snow, let it snow, let it snow' blaring from mall loudspeakers when shoppers are in shorts and t-shirts and the temperature outside is 85 degrees. And the filmmakers play up this perverseness for all its worth.
The finest scenes in the film involve the interplay between Willy and the boy, known mainly as `The Kid' for the majority of the film. It is the counterpoint between Willy's complete and utter cynicism and the kid's naïve imperturbability that serves as the engine fueling the comedy. Without the kid, the story would be little more than a one-note riff on a nasty Santa. The youngster provides the heart that makes the whole concept work.
Thornton has been handed one of the plum roles of his career and he certainly makes the most of it. Most actors would kill for a part like this, yet few would have been able to turn this loathsome character into such an appealing figure. Rather than shy away from the harsh realities of the character, Thornton allows us to see the genuine pain lurking beneath the man's surface. Yet, whenever the film threatens to turn wistful and sentimental on us, Thornton rescues it by slipping back into character and landing a good kick or punch where it will do the most good. Young Brett Kelly is magnificent as the kid who manages to turn Willy's life around. His deadpan responses to even the most outrageous comments and actions perpetrated by this unconventional Santa provide some of the best laughs of the film. The movie also boasts fine turns from Tony Cox as Marcus; Bernie Mac, as a store security manager who wises up to the game these two are playing; and the late John Ritter, as the nervous store manager who bends over backwards to make sure he doesn't offend anyone, even those who most deserve offending. The film, itself, is certainly not afraid of offending large segments of the population, as it makes light of alcoholism, senility, suicide, murder, and a whole host of other `taboo' topics without apologies to anyone.
`Bad Santa' is definitely not for the kiddies, and perhaps even some adults will be outraged by the antics contained herein. But for those who like their eggnog with a bit more of a kick to it, this film should certainly do the trick.

"I Am A Nobody Filmmaker"
By Ted Hope
Today's guest post is from filmmaker & blogger Christopher J. Boghosian.
I'm a nobody filmmaker: I don't have a recognizable name nor a recognizable film. In essence, most of the world couldn't care less about me nor my movies. This sounds pathetic, I know, but coming to grips with this reality has truly liberated me and provided an invaluable perspective on my work and career.
As a result of the internet, mass media, and proliferation of panel discussions and seminars, beginning filmmakers can now listen in on the conversation between film industry experts. Insider tips and wisdom are readily available, from casting celebrities to negotiating a VOD deal. It's true: gurus sometimes discuss broad principles and concepts that apply to every level of filmmaking, but more often than not, there is a buried assumption in their discussion: that a filmmaker or their project has a considerable amount of credibility, hype or leverage. As a result, many of these conversations are inapplicable to nobody filmmakers who have no reputable name nor a film with high salability. Nevertheless, in our earnest search for success, us nobodies continue to invest a lot of time, energy and money on experts.
A beginning filmmaker can learn all about financing, film production, marketing and distribution, but if s/he has little or nothing to back it up with, what's the point? Living in LA, I've met countless filmmakers trying to raise thousands of dollars, even millions, with very little to their credit. Who do they think they are? What other business or profession operates like that? Like every other profession, filmmakers must earn the right to ask for thousands of dollars. They must earn the right to mass market and distribute their film. In the end, most of these filmmakers discover that only their friends and family are willing to invest in them, since that is with whom they have earned trust.
The baker bakes, the architect designs, and the filmmaker must continually make films. What baker bakes one loaf of bread and asks for thousands of dollars to open a bakery? What architect designs one home and expects to have thousands of fans on Facebook? None. It's ludicrous. As a nobody filmmaker, I have come to realize that I need to earn my right to ask people for their time and money. And the way to do that is by consistently making films, plain-and-simple.
In fact, even the desire to make a great film must be earned. An expert baker who has studied and worked for years would scoff at a novice attempting to develop a great loaf of bread. It takes years of trial-and-error, blood, sweat and tears to bake great bread. How is filmmaking any different? Why do so many beginning filmmakers strive to make a great film? It's presumptuous and disrespectful toward the art and craft of filmmaking.
Coming to grips with my nobody-ness as a filmmaker has set me straight in many ways. Rather than attempt to make a great film and attain thousands of fans, my focus now is to continually make the very best films I can within my means. Additionally, I have come to realize that I am, in fact, a somebody to a few folks out there. Most are friends and family members who watch my films, read my blog, and anticipate my future work. Thus, as I continue to make films and develop my craft, I will, first and foremost, share with them. Rather than create my own Facebook Fan page, I will call and email them, letting them know what I'm up to. And, hopefully, if my films are any good, they'll spread the word and, maybe, create a Fan page for me!

Next time I read a blog, Hopefully it does not fail me as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I actually thought you would probably have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something you can fix if you were not too busy searching for attention.
Having read this I thought it was extremely informative. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this informative article together. I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and posting comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!

The invention relates to molded components and a method of manufacturing and handling the molded components
Molded components, particularly micro-molded components, present challenges that arise in the context of transporting, storing, feeding and handling such components through manufacturing systems. These challenges are particularly associated with the difficulty of gripping and securing these components due to their small size and the force of static electricity, which makes the components stick to production equipment, i.e., to storage trays and/or magazines, or even to one another.
The electronics industry uses plastic and metal component carriers quite frequently. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,148,596 describes a continuous molded electronic component assembly process in which a continuous line of components is supplied on reels for assembly and insertion. U.S. Pat. No. 6,003,676 describes a carrier tape formed with a plurality of product receiving pockets molded thereon. U.S. Pat. No. 7,134,197 describes a method such that plastic parts can be transported on a carrier for manufacturing of a final product based initially on the plastic part.
However, there still exists a need to provide molded components and a method that overcomes the above-mentioned problems associated with transporting, storing, feeding and handling molded components.
In an aspect, the invention features a method of manufacturing a plurality of molded components. The method includes: (a) providing a carrier to a manufacturing assembly, the manufacturing assembly comprising a source device and an uptake device, both being adapted for winding and unwinding, and a latch; (b) forming a plurality of molded components on the carrier, the molded components comprising a sacrificial portion being secured to a carrier and being movable along the carrier, the sacrificial portion having a bottom surface and a top surface, and a functional portion extending from the sacrificial portion, adjacent first portions are spaced from one another by a first distance; (c) winding the carrier in a forward direction onto the uptake device; and (d) unwinding the uptake device in a reverse direction such that the carrier and molded components move toward the source device, one of the molded components contacts the latch preventing the molded components from moving in the reverse direction such that adjacent sacrificial portions are moved closer together to a second distance that is less than the first distance.
In another implementation, the invention features a molded component, comprising a sacrificial portion secured to a carrier and being movable along the carrier, and a functional portion extending from the sacrificial portion.
In yet another aspect, the invention features a plurality of molded components comprising a first molded component having a sacrificial portion and a functional portion, the sacrificial portion being secured to a carrier and being movable along the carrier, the sacrificial portion having a bottom surface and a top surface, and the functional portion extending from the sacrificial portion, and a second molded component having a sacrificial portion and a functional portion, the sacrificial portion being secured to a carrier and being movable along the carrier, the sacrificial portion having a bottom surface and a top surface, and the functional portion extending from the sacrificial portion, wherein the top surface of the first molded component interlocks with the bottom surface of the second molded component.
Certain implementations of the invention may include one or more of the following features. The manufacturing assembly is a reel-to-reel mechanism. The molded component includes a second functional portion that extends from the sacrificial portion such that the functional portions may be the same or different from one another. The carrier may be selected from the group consisting of a wire, polymeric monofilament, synthetic fiber, nylon and combinations thereof. Other suitable carriers can be used. Utilizing this type of carrier allows the carrier to twist or turn, but does not affect the molding process.
The invention described herein overcomes the problems associated with the prior art by supplying a carrier that is fed through a mold in such a way that a molded component is secured to the carrier as it is molded. The carrier with the molded component on it is then collected onto an uptake device or reel, which, in turn, is filled with parts to be delivered to the next manufacturing process.
The invention reduces the cost of manufacturing because it provides for a carrier that can be re-used, instead of discarding it after a single use. Additionally, a separator strip is no longer needed to protect the parts from each other. The invention allows neighboring sacrificial portions to contact each other, but the functional portions that will be used in the product do not contact each other, thereby minimizing damage, i.e., overall cost, to the functional portion. Furthermore, cost reduction is evident because the carrier no longer needs to be indexed to assure alignment with the mold. Forming the molded component directly on the carrier not only eliminates indexing, it also assures secure attachment and reduces the likelihood that the molded component will be damaged. The molded component is no longer limited to a flat, two-dimensional shape because the molded component is easily movable along the carrier and the layers on reels are stable. Furthermore, the carrier of the invention allows for less stringent tolerances and thicknesses, thereby reducing cost.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.
Then, the carrier is unwound from the uptake device in a reverse direction such that the carrier and molded components move toward the source device (108). One of the molded components contacts the latch preventing the molded components from moving in the reverse direction, but allows the carrier to continue to move toward the source device. The adjacent sacrificial portions are moved closer together to a second distance that is less than the first distance. The preceding steps can be repeated (112) to produce additional molded components.
In an embodiment, as the uptake device is being wound, the molded components may contact the latch (110) as the carrier moves toward the uptake device. Alternatively, a first sensor may be used for detecting the molded components (114) as they move forward. Upon detection by the first sensor, the uptake device stops winding (116).
After the molded component stops, the carrier continues moving toward the source device. After the slack in the carrier has been taken out from stopping the molded components, the resistance to pulling the carrier increases and will eventually displace the latch upon reaching or exceeding a threshold value (118). The threshold value is related to the total number of molded components required to be moved and the force required to overcome the static friction force of each component on the carrier. A second sensor may be used for detecting displacement of the latch by the molded components. Once the latch becomes displaced, a signal is sent to the source device to stop winding (120). For example, the signal may not only be derived from displacement of the latch, but also lapse of time, or some other condition.
Ultimately, the functional portion of the molded component will be utilized in an assembled product. In an embodiment, the functional portion is first separated from the sacrificial portion and inserted into the product (122). Alternatively, the functional portion can be inserted into the product and then separated from the sacrificial portion (124).
The manufacturing assembly (200), shown in
In an embodiment, the manufacturing assembly (200) is a reel-to-reel device. The carrier (202) may be selected from the group consisting of a wire, monofilament, polyester, synthetic fiber, nylon, and combinations thereof. Other suitable carriers can be used. The carrier (202) may be a single strand, tape, or band of material or braided/twisted into a single strand, tape, or band.
As the uptake device (206) is wound, shown in
Referring now to
A force control mechanism (214) may be connected to the latch (208) that is adapted for applying tension to the latch (208) as well as biasing the latch (208) between a normal position and a displaced position. The force control mechanism may be a spring, an air cylinder, or any other suitable mechanism. The amount of tension applied to the latch (208) has a threshold value relative to the total number of molded components (401) required to be moved and the force required to overcome the static friction force of each individual molded component (401) on the carrier (202). After the slack in the carrier (202) has been taken out from stopping the molded components (401), the resistance to pulling the carrier (202) increases and will eventually displace the latch (208) upon reaching or exceeding the threshold value. Once the latch (208) becomes displaced, a signal is sent to the source device (204) to stop winding. In an embodiment, a second sensor (212) may be used for detecting displacement the latch (208) by the molded components (401).
A compacting device (not shown) may also be included on the manufacturing assembly (200) for sliding the molded component (401) along the carrier (202) thereby separating and reducing the space between the sacrificial portions (402 a, 402 b, 402 c). In an embodiment, the molded components (401) are tapered, which further aids in stacking the multiple molded components (401). In either case, the neighboring functional portions (404 a, 404 b, 404 c) are not in contact allowing for storage without damaging the functional portions (404 a, 404 b, 404 c) that will be later utilized in an assembled product. The functional portion (404) may be first separated from the sacrificial portion (402) and inserted into the product or the functional portion (404) can be inserted into the product and then separated from the sacrificial portion (402).

This truly made our Disney trip better! I wish every town had a garden grocer!!!!
This was the first time that I used this service and the process was flawless! I got a call to verify my order, and a text, email and a call to let me know that it was delivered. It was stored at the resort for me until my room was ready, and then was brought up by the bellman. I was very impressed with the whole process, and will be using you again in the future. I have already recommended Garden Grocer to friends traveling to WDW.
My order was in the room fridge before we even checked in!

Hey, Maybe Being Fat Is Good For You
I want to run this article with a picture, but if I ran it with this picture, people would scream for eyebleach. So, pretend this picture appears right under the headline, and note before you click it you're going to see a very fat man. A very fat man.
He was the world's fattest man, but got a gastric bypass, and now he just looks awesome.
Anyway I've been hearing this story going around for a week: a meta-study finds that overweight people actually live longer than those at normal weight. And one level of people defined as "obese" -- lower end of the scale -- have no worse mortality than the normal-weight.
Grade 1 obesity overall was not associated with higher mortality, and overweight was associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality. The use of predefined standard BMI groupings can facilitate between-study comparisons.
Grade 2 and 3 obesity -- really fat and really fatter -- were, however, associated with worse mortality rates.
So, it's claimed, a little bit of comfort fat might be good for you, long-term.
Hey, it's a study. Must be true.
Here's a possibility: Given that we are generally never put through periods of starvation or hunger and have all the calories we could possibly want, our bodyweight has shifted upwards -- including our tendency to put on fat. Because we're just not built to have all the calories we could possibly want.
The people who remain thin tend to remain thin not because they're especially healthy but because they're a little on the unhealthy side, while the people who would -- in prehistoric times -- look healthy have tended to put on a bit of overweight.
Note that some very healthy and very active people are at "normal weight" -- they work out enough to keep off fat -- or thin but they're anomalies and don't impact the stats that much. Most people will wind up having weights in accordance with their metabolic bias.
So, anyway, my attempt to explain this postulates that it's not the overweight per se that makes people live longer, but those people are basically born a little healthier, and would have longer lives whether they were in prehistoric, lean times (in which case they'd be at the "right" weight) or in comfortable, flabby modern times (in which case they add 15 pounds).
I just made that up now. If it doesn't make sense, that would be why.
The other possibility is the Sleeper Hypothesis: That literally everything they once said was good for you is in fact bad for you, and vice versa.
There's also the
Old Theory: Carbs cause fat
Newer Theory: Carbs don't cause fat at all! Those old fuddy-duddies were all wet!
Newest Theory: Carbs cause fat. The last fuddy-duddies were all wet, while the fuddy-duddies previous to them had it just right.
When no one knows what the hell they're talking about it's a wide open field for paradigm-changing new studies.

Washington - Pop diva Lady Gaga set a social media record on Thursday when she became the first person on Twitter to amass more than 25 million followers, more than anyone else on the micro-blogging website.
"#25milliontweetymonsters wow! I'm officially feeling like the luckiest girl in the world today. Last sold out show in Singapore in 2 hrs!" she tweeted from Southeast Asia, where she has been on tour.
Seven of the nine most-followed people on Twitter are pop singers: Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber (in second place with nearly 22.9 million followers), Katy Perry, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Shakira and Taylor Swift.
The outliers are US President Barack Obama, in seventh place with 17 million followers, and reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who is eighth with 14.8 million, according to twittercounter.com
Lady Gaga previously made Twitter history as the first to surpass the 10, 15 and 20 million follower milestones.
News of her latest breakthrough came on the heels of her decision to cancel the Indonesian leg of her Born This Way tour in the face of threats from Muslim hardliners.
She used Twitter to apologise to fans, saying: "We had to cancel the concert in Indonesia. I'm so very sorry to the fans & just as devastated as you if not more. You are everything to me."

Smith, Burden to stay at Toulon?
- 20 Jan 2014
Former Springbok loose forward Juan Smith and former Sharks hooker Craig Burden are likely to stay at Toulon.
La Provence reports that Burden, who was brought to Toulon as a medical joker, will be offered a contract extention, along with 2007 World Cup-winning Smith.
Both Burden and Smith have been in good form for the star-studded French side, and have often found themselves in the starting line-up.
Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal recently discussed how he has lifted Toulon from a struggling second division side into a Top 14 powerhouse by bringing in international talent such as former England flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson and Australian playmaker Matt Giteau.

The Springboks dodged a bullet in Port Elizabeth, but they may not be ready for the rapid fire that awaits them in the Rugby Championship, writes JON CARDINELLI.

The Army has issued a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) solicitation open from 19 Feb. to 19 March for companies to solicit ideas on developing bi-spectral smoke/obscurant material. "This material will form an obscuring screen for the protection of soldiers and platforms against visible and infrared threats (heat seeking missiles, thermal viewer, laser guided missiles, sniper fire, etc.)," the solicitation states.
Intensive chemistry and material science, breakthroughs in vapor phase synthesis, and nanotechnology may be involved in this new bi-spectral obscurant, Army researchers say.
Now let's see what's eventually developed to counter this new weapon.
