Anyone who actually watched the video or read the article knew exactly what Chuck was saying, but since reading isn’t fundamental in our society it turned into something totally different (Charles Barkley Says Weight Watchers Biggest Scam Ever Off Air).

Chuck and Weight Watchers released a statement basically saying the same thing Barkley said last night.

Weight Watchers: “We love Charles for the same reason everyone loves Charles, he’s unfiltered. We are thrilled that he is having great success and inspiring millions of men to join him. We agree that being a spokesman for Weight Watchers is a pretty great gig.”

Charles Barkley: “I meant what I said, the fact that I’m dropping pounds, getting healthier and getting paid at the same time, is my definition of a great scam. The only problem is I’m going to have to use some of the money to buy a new wardrobe.”

And that was that….
