Herald-Sun: fat woman loves Bacon; no, really

Sep. 28th, 2008 | 09:33 pm

A VICTORIAN woman who beat a rare flesh-eating disease says she survived the terrifying ordeal only because she was "fat".

Clair Robinson, 23, is lucky to be alive after contracting the killer bacteria following surgery at a regional hospital.

The shop assistant thought she had a fever and stomach ache until she was told the life-threatening condition was eating through her stomach muscles and body tissue.

"Being big saved my life," she said.

"If I had have been smaller it would have eaten my organs and my insides. My kidneys and liver would have been eaten if I hadn't have been big.

"Maybe fat people do have a good life after all."
Her fiance Ashley Bacon proposed on a recent trip to Venice and they plan to marry on Valentine's Day.

Is this Sierra Mist ad now funny or sad?

FOLLOWUP:
The more I think about it, it's definitely funny. I mean — inadvertently brilliant!

The Ad Council should pick it up as a PSA:
