Things that make you go "WTF?!?!?"

From this article, here's a quote for you:

Kobayashi’s victory reminded me of happier, younger and fewer anal times when overeating was still considered an act of heroism.

I am hoping this is a case of something being lost in the translation.

Fewer anal times. My God.
