Not the kind of crane you’re thinking. (Puns. Who needs them? I do. ME.)

Marilyn Wann is doing a new project to help out the fat people of Japan (you will have read about them here, here, and here, as well as a few other places.)

The new guidelines in Japan — for which Sandy points out there is no scientific support — will require people whose waistlines exceed the narrow limits, ha-ha, to face “re-education,” and their employers to face stiff financial penalties.

Please warm up your thumbs, sign in to Myspace and go to 1,000 Fat Cranes. Then follow Marilyn’s wonderfully easy photographic and videographic instructions to fold a lovely, chubby paper crane. (Or eight.)

I made mine with a leaf from Fat!So?. My smallest cat then attacked, and ran around the room with, the finished crane. She don’t take no guff from uppity fat birds. (Puns!)

Mail your cranes to Box 423464, San Francisco, CA 94142. Marilyn will send them to Japan when the time is right.
