Thinville: A City Of Perfection

In the town of Thinville, where exercise prevails, stick figures run all day under the yellow shiny light. These people eat while doing jumping jacks and work on their computers while doing sit ups. This city is not similar to perfections, its live perfection. New technologies in this town are not new blackberry phones or new touch computers, they are new workouts. “Tired” isn’t a word in a Thinville citizen’s vocabulary, it is an unknown word that they are not interested in knowing. There are no red signs placed on the street that impedes people from working out and makes them stay in their thin houses.
Slimmer, the skinniest man in town who lives in the tallest but thinnest house at the end of Size 0 Street, is the leader of Thinville. He wore a huge heart everyday to remind people that their health is important so they could keep exercising. His responsibility is to encourage people’s exercise. He did through huge advertisement posters that replace stop signs on the streets and by selling green bicycles to help people transport faster but still supporting one’s health and exercise. There are no cars, buses, trains, or any other motor vehicles in the town for two major reasons. The first and most obvious reason is because they don’t allow productive exercise. People just sit in a comfortable seat pressing pedals while the car does everything for them in a faster way. The second reason is due to equality. Rich people will not be showing off expensive Ferrari cars in the streets and poor people will not be searching and waiting for taxis that can transport them. Everyone will walk/run to the place the need to be at and will burn enough calories per day. This will promote equality in transportation.
Slimmer also helps the “biggest” people of the town by recommending them profound exercises as representation of his care. Slimmer has a list of exercises that helped him become the thin man he is; though people are free to do any other exercises they come up with. He even hears citizen’s opinions and asks them for new exercises to help others and to promote a free corruption society.  
Thinville’s education is 60 percent about exercise (35 percent: different types of exercises and 25 percent: techniques) and 40 percent are for equations, test tubes, writing, ancient books, and other subjects required in life and in a citizen’s knowledge.

                According to Slimmer, “People in this city enjoy themselves more than what people from technologically advanced cities do due to their health. Families get to enjoy their kids better because they are more active than what people from other cities that have relatively the same age.” In fact it is true because both old and young people have an active and healthy life which helps them live longer. “This city is a role model to other cities” says Slimmer “because life is not only about improving life through technology, it is about improving your life and your health through a daily routine of exercise. At the end, it’s not technology that will suffer, it’ll be you.”
