Yes and no, while they are air breathers of course, their body (their rib cage especially) is not capable of supporting their weight on dry land, hence they do tend to suffocate. This though is due the the mechanical effected of their breathing being inhibited, rather than the more normal process of being starved of oxygen (or oygenated water in the case of fish.)

I`d be happy for an approxomate age to be stated for videos or pictures of people posted here.
I`m not keen on pictures or videos featuring people too young.

Some do deserve it, but I won't be the one to insult them.
I happen to like Americans.

Let's just leave it at the fact Americans are fat so if something is labeled as "American-sized", assume they are fat, perhaps obese. And I am an American. And if I ever even came close to weighing 163 lbs, I'd kill myself. Americans always need to go overboard with everything. Super-size, biggie gulp, XXXL, 1/2 pound beef patties, fried twinkies dipped in chocolate on a stick... ugh... Americans deserve to be insulted.

Other Anonymous,
I don't think you understand the definition of obese. It's generally defined as more than 30lbs over one's ideal weight. Missy doesn't look very tall, but let's give her the benefit of the doubt and say she is 5'10" with a large frame. Her ideal weight would be between 150-175lbs. She has to be at least 240, and she looks a lot shorter than 5'10, which would make her very obese, and much heavier than the average american woman (163lbs).

Yep, Canadians are only 8 lbs less on average than americans.
If Missy weighed 8 lbs less, I would have said Canadian-sized. But she doesn't, so...what can we do?
Oh, I know what we can do! Lets go get more spanking stuff and post it.

Anonymous,
I don't think you understand what the word "average" means.
If 33% are obese, and 67% are not, then Missy would be about average. She is overweight, but not obese.

The average Canadian woman is about 8lbs less than the average American, so if this is the average American, it doesn't say much for the average Canadian either.

Cinndunc,
You idiot, America does have a high obesity rate, 33%, which means 67% are not obese, meaning this is not what an average American woman looks like.

Don't be silly. I've lived in America too, and the American that I know best LOVES the term. It's not an insult, it's a fact. America has highest obesity rate on the planet. This is definitely an average American-sized woman.
But it would not be an average sized woman in, say, England or Italy.

"Paul, if I don't put that tag on there, then they complain that I forgot to warn them that she was fat."
If you really do care about people watching videos that they don't want to, how about a warning when it's a 6 year old?

Paul, if I don't put that tag on there, then they complain that I forgot to warn them that she was fat.
But I'm not going to post "warning: fat" in the title.
