Adam Nimoy "For the Love of Spock" Documentary On KickStarter
New submitter Yohannon writes: In November of 2014, Adam Nimoy, son of Leonard, began talking with his father about creating a documentary regarding the late actor's most iconic role for potential release on the 50th anniversary of the premier of Star Trek. With the actor sadly passing in late February, the project has become more of a celebration of Leonard Nimoy's life as a whole. To fund the project, Adam has turned to KickStarter to raise the relatively modest 600 thousand dollars (US) to complete the documentary.
[Full disclosure: I am the husband of one of the models Nimoy used for his "Full Body Project", and she might be interviewed as a part of the documentary; However, cutting room floors being what they are, even virtually, that's not a guarantee she would actually be IN the doc.]

I can read both the AC's comment and yours just fine, because I browse at -1. Slashdot is one of the very few remaining sites that practices almost zero censorship, unless forced to by legal action, for which I'm grateful.
In response to the point being made, I believe morbid obesity should certainly not be celebrated or pedestalised, but neither should it be mocked for its own sake. Suggesting it's a good or healthy way to go through life however is putting lives at risk in no uncertain terms.
