Yeah, with a title like that I got your attention and you are probably like what the F does that mean? Well, I received an email request a few weeks back that I literally spit my water out at the screen when reading it and purposely saved this blog for the day the website lunched - saynotocankles.com .So here it is folks, according to Gold's Gym if current trends continue, by the year 2012 Cankles will surpass Love Handles as the number one aesthetic affliction in the world! (not sure exactly what trend they are referring to here since it wasn't noted) This was seriously on the website and is frickin hilarious to me...have you ever heard about belly fat or jiggly ass?
This just cracked me up that they have created a Cankle Awareness month in July to make people more aware that Cankles are not attractive and you can somewhat do something about it. Even more, here's a piece of the email I received letting me know about this month:
Muffin tops. Love handles. Spare tires. As if there weren’t enough embarrassing body burdens to worry about, here’s one more: The Cankle. What exactly is a cankle? The word comes from the combination of “calf” and “ankle.” On the leg, it’s when there is no clear distinction between a person’s calf and foot, essentially no ankle.
Sadly, this growing epidemic has fast become a pop-culture punch line, but to sufferers of the condition, cankles are no laughing matter. That’s why this July, Gold’s Gym is launching a campaign to combat this pop-culture punch line, helping America put its best foot (and ankle) forward as we head into the season where people trade in their long pants for cropped pants, shorts and skirts.

I mean I love the pun, "put it's best foot forward", it's just hilarious. An this is worth deeming Cankles as an epidemic, I mean epidemic is saved for major diseases that kill millions like Influenza and The Plague - not for something so simple as Cankles.
At the end of the day this is a funny email and not something you'd expect to receive in your inbox. But many people struggle with this hereditary disease and it's no laughing matter. But for the purpose of this blog and Cankle awareness month, visit saynotocankles.com and together we can put an end to Cankles!!!
