I beg you all -- please help save our family name.

I think the Mom is the Rude in this scenario. First, she is buying the most passive-aggressive present ever- a gift certificate to JackLa Lanne's , probably sold with the "KEEP that New Year's Resolution THIS YEAR with this membership of only ninety nine cents per month" deal. Not only does she tell Dad he is a Fat, she gets to pocket the savings to upgrade tthe cable to digital and she gets Mr. Pale White Skin pulsing with big blue varicose veins and a sheath of curly black leg hair legs out of the house for a couple of hours, springing him on Slave and his lycra covered man-pals in the Nautilus room. Well, I suppose if there was a case for body hair, your dad's legs might be it.
And then Mom has the cajones to tell you, the SeasonalSock, what to buy Dad, so as to defray her own costs? Who the fuck wants to buy gym clothes as a Xmas present? Whgo wants to get them? What a gift. It really screams "Merry Christmas Dad from the whole family who thinks you are a giant Fat. SOrry the present sucks but Mom made us buy it. We included the receipt so you can go back to Target and get the plastic raft and fishing pole you really wanted."
