"I think when it comes to media, the media needs to take responsibility for the effect it has on our younger generation on these girls that are watching these television shows and picking up how to talk and how to be cool," the "American Hustle" star added.
"So all of the sudden being funny is making fun of the girl that's wearing an ugly dress. And the word fat! I just think it should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV. I mean, if we're regulating cigarettes and sex and cuss words because of the effect it has on our younger generation, why aren't we regulating things like calling people fat?"
When Lawrence was first cast as Katniss, a starving teen fighting for her life in a government-arranged reality show, she was criticized for being too full-figured.

Hollyweird would probably make an exception for calling Rush Limbaugh fat.

Fat is the new "N' word. People know they're fat. I love when THEY say..."I've had a problem all my life"...and then say..don't call me fat.
They just finished calling themselves fat. Idiots.
To: BenLurkin
Yup. Not insults of any kind. Unless you’re White, Christian or Conservative.

Another Hollywood genius who is an expert on the law and the Constitution. Obviously.

"I just think it should be illegal to call somebody _____ on TV."Liberals will be happy to fill in the blank with their cause du jour, and make it illegal to speak out against any of their lofty goals of a socialist utopia.

She'll probably look like Shelly Winters, someday.
But for now...I say she is NOT fat.

If you’re fat, you’re fat, and if you show yourself in public i’ll call you fat!

How about calling someone “pretty?” Why should that not be illegal too? So much for logic or free speech. Incroyable!

She'll probably look like Shelly Winters, someday.I remember one time watching The Poseidon Adventure on TCM. During the post film monologue the host said that Shelly Winters had to put on significant weight for her character. Several actors/actresses were injured filming the movie but she said she was the only one to never recover from the film.

Does public recognition of Cankles indicate a unPC Fatness call?
