    Deserves a much better rap than he gets ... hide show

    Yes, I like this man.

    I admit that he can be a little annoying at times, but considering all he has selflessly done for the one group of people that the world still considers "okay" to ridicule and discriminate against - I have to say that he has my utmost respect and admiration.

    He was fat, now he’s annoying. He’s getting old, but he’s still annoying. hide show

    Richard Simmons was apparently quite fat at one time. No one knew who he was at the time, but he reminds people about it all the time. He does exercise tapes and exercise shows. He sells his exercise programs and fitness stuff. He does infomercials for his tapes and some diet program involving colored cards. Sometimes he does guest appearances on shows (mostly sitcoms).

    He is a goofy man, and is getting old, but he still wears shorts and shrieks a lot. He is annoying.

    The perfect best man! hide show

    Richard Simmons is one of my favorite people! He's sort of gay, but that doesn't really bother me. I mean, look at Elton John, he's even more gay! Give him a show! Oh yeah, he already has one. But the first time I saw him was in an episode of "Whose Line is It Anyway" That episode was so darn funny!
