Ministry of the Obvious...

Overweight Kids Have Tough Time Socially

To fully demonstrate the obvious to us, please see Christine in the movie version of "Phantom of the Opera" (as Elena pointed out in the comments and I pointed out in the theater):

I remember there was mist
- See the gray mist.

swirling mist upon a vast, glassy lake ...
- See the black, shiny, glass-like lake. It's almost like that big mirror over there.

There were candles all around
- Do you see all the candles - EVERY-FREAKIN'-WHERE!? It's a fire hazard I tell you! Where is the inspector? Think of the smoke when you snuff them out. *cough cough*

and on the lake there was a boat,
- Don't let go Jack... Don't let go. (picture also includes mist and glassy lake)

and in the boat there was a man ...
- Wearing a mask.. and a white shirt that's halfway open.. sort of brooding but not really. He really just looks kind of like a spoiled 2 year old that hasn't gotten his way. Instead of getting the love of his life, he should sit in time-out.

Thank you Madame Exposition. I think from now on, instead of calling these kind of stories "obvious," I will say the researchers/writers are having a "Christine moment."
