it didnt bother them when they called rush Limbaugh fat

I saw that magazine once about 10 years ago at the hairdressers and remember thinking it was vaguely obscene. Some article about “pleasant” abortions.

Overweight is a disability, and needs to be treated as such. We no longer shame and shun lepers. The same should be true of the overweight.

The blogger who wrote the article is a bowser:

“you probably shouldn’t tell the world that you find fat people disgusting”

I don’t find them particularly disgusting, but I can see how someone might.

[A_perfect_lady]

If you’re going to say you find fat people disgusting, say it and be prepared to have all the fat people yell at you, and don’t bother apologizing because we all know you aren’t sorry for how you feel, you’re just sorry you had to hear how other people feel about what you said. I’m so sick of people apologizing because they can’t handle the reaction.

Opinions are no longer to be tolerated.

If you have an opinionated thought—keep it to yourself—never, EVER, dare speak or type it.

The first amendment is trumped by feelings and the protected class status...the new game of rock-paper-scissors.

I'm sure this chick thinks fat people are nasty too

Internet Fatties Call for Marie Claire Boycott After Writer Slams 'Fatties'

Fixed it.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

The writer hates herself and has suffered from anorexia for over a decade.... and for the record, "Mike and Molly" is a very sweet story of two working class folks who make jokes about themselves to cover the pain of rejection. The writer is a classless bitch

[MissTed]

"Yes, I think I'd be grossed out if I had to watch two characters with rolls and rolls of fat kissing each other ... because I'd be grossed out if I had to watch them doing anything,"

And yet say that about two men and you're a homophobe and a hater.

What if she saw somebody smoking?

“That’s for calling me crap, ya fattie!”

[wardaddy]

man...i got a feeling this forum has a lot of fat folks..lol

[MWestMom]

I'll defend the author's right to say what she said with my life. However, that doesn't mean that I think her article is tasteful or kind. Especially given that she struggled with anorexia. Not a small indicator of self image issues.

What passes for journalism these days is really rather disappointing. I don't understand why minimal or no talent narcissists who refer to themselves as journalists seem to think that we all should fall down in a fawning faint whenever they pontificate. Or why they seem to believe that they should be immune to any negative reaction to their insipid drivel.
