    I’m convinced Dr. Spaceman was based on a real Hollywood doctor.

    Dr Leo Spaceman offers Jenna meth to lose weight

    (If you can see the pamphlet because of the caption, it says “You do the meth!”)

      I came in to make this joke and you beat me to it.

      This lady would probably join a cult to cure a mental illness.

        Delta or Jenna?

        I haven’t heard much about Delta Burke since the early 90s, but no major controversies come to mind (YMMV).

        Jenna definitely, though. lol

    well, if that was an amazing beautiful woman i would give it a try but let’s be honest, as a fat woman myself, it did work very well. I guess I’ll just keep doing nothing

    It’s literally FDA approved for weight loss.

    Methamphetamine (desoxyephedrine) was first approved in 1943 by the FDA for treating narcolepsy, mild depression, postencephalitic Parkinson syndrome, chronic alcoholism, cerebral arteriosclerosis, and hay fever. Later, in 1947, methamphetamine was also approved as the first drug for treating obesity.

    I had no idea who this was so I went and looked on IMDB and she was in a show called “Designing Women” and one of the top rated episodes has this description:

    Suzanne [Burke] attends her high school reunion, where people shun her because she weighs more than she did in high school.

    Irony.
