Nutrisystems supports comedian who mocks people with developmental disabilities

Top U.S. comedian Larry The Cable Guy has become the unlikely face of weightloss company NutriSystem.

The star, real name Dan Whitney, has lost 50 pounds (22.7 kilograms) using the NutriSystem program, and he is so pleased with the results he’s decided to help promote the firm in a series of print and TV advertisements.

Unfortunately,  in doing this Nutrisystems has aligned itself with a comedian who makes a profit from mocking people with developmental disabilities.
