Art Imitating Life

A clever artist with photoshop recently updated Michelangelo's David scultpture to reflect 21st century America, i.e. the 30% of America that is obese.

The photo raises an interesting question: if David had been a plus-sized model, would he have made the cut? Or put another way, can a hero, a conqueror, and a defender of justice also be fat?

You make the call.
