Another attraction which doesn't fit the modern Yellowstone was the Firefall. Every night in summer, a stream of embers was pushed off the side of Glacier Point to make it look like a waterfall of fire.
The Spanish brought the first domesticated cats to America long before the Pilgrims in 1620. See http://www.answers.com/Q/Who_brought_the_first_cat_to_america which says that the Spanish ships to Florida were the first to bring cats to what is now the US.
That river has 15+ bears in it! I'm assuming the photographer was there to take pictures of the bears fishing. No wonder one might wander to the photographer. Probably also not a hungry bear, just curious.
Both of you are talking about transcontinental passenger service. The video completely agrees with your comments, and says so in the first few sentences. It poses and answers a different question. There are areas of the US where regional intercity rail is completely reasonable. For example, the Northeast megalopolis has a population density of 1,000/sq. mile, which is only slightly less than that of the Netherlands, and with many cities within 200 miles of NYC. Why we don't have good intercity rail service in those areas?
The leveling here is not that of Harrison Bergeron, as you imply, but of the starting line. After all, in an oval race course, the inside track starts further back than the outside. The rich often have the inside track. Why should the course for others be longer by forcing everyone to start at the same line?
I don't think it's neat to use such descriptions, no. Not even if all the cool kids are doing it. Yes, I remember "Star Wars kid", and the ridicule and bullying he received.
There is little need to emphasize American women. By far the heaviest person shown is a man, in the very bottom picture. The heaviest Olympic competitor is Ricardo Blas, Jr., at 200+ kg. Should we discourage judo? It shows several boxers, and over 10% of professional boxers get dementia pugilistica. Should we discourage boxing (which some do)? One of the rhythmic gymnasts is standing en pointe, which may lead to life-long foot problems. Should we discourage ballet? And so on.
I do agree that John's comment about "healthy body" wasn't quite on topic. The linked-to article explored what it means to have an athletic build, not a healthy one.
Based on Wikipedia's list of US metropolitan areas by population it's missing Phoenix (#12), Cleveland (#16), Orlando (#20) and others before getting to Memphis at #46, so it covers 26 of the first 46 major US cities, or somewhat more than half of them.
