She's plump, powerful and ready to cause more controversy than "SuperSize Me."
She's Fat Princess, the star of Sony's upcoming video game of the same name. Debuting at last week's E3 expo, the colorful Fat Princess is a capture-the-flag game with a twist: you can thwart capture attempts by locking the once-thin princess in a dungeon and stuffing her full of cake, thereby increasing her girth and making her harder for your enemies to haul back to home base.
According to popular gaming blog Joystiq, two feminist gaming sites have already voiced their displeasure with the weighty issue.
Feminist Gamer's "Mighty Ponygirl" rings in diplomatically, suggesting a new way to play the game altogether.
"Instead of running out into the forest to find cake to fatten up the princess with, why not go out and find gold (which is a lot heavier than cake) to stuff into a treasure chest. The more gold in the chest, the heavier it would be, and the harder it would be to carry," she said, before adding, "Oh, but that's not as "cute" as cake and fat chicks. Right."
Over at Shakesville, however, writer Melissa McEwan cuts to the chase, telling Sony she's "positively thrilled to see such unyielding dedication to creating a new generation of fat-hating, heteronormative ---holes."

Naw, just '60s type radical feminists. ;^)
Let them eat cake!
ha ha ha.....I am a blonde, don’t try to woo me with math big boy...*wink*
Not much going on in the rest of these ... "ladies" lives, is there??
As Barbie so famously said - “Math is Hard!”
>> I don’t even know what the hell heteronormative is, but I hope I qualify!
I spend a good bit of time reading feminist blogs (what can I say? They amuse me.) It truly is an educational experience. For starters, I’d suggest feministing.com, iblamethepatriarchy.com, womensspace.org ... funny stuff.
“Heteronormative” is a pejorative word invented by radical feminists and homosexual activists to criticize people whose statements or actions show that they assume that heterosexuality is the normal state of mankind. It truly is a nonsensical concept — as heterosexuality truly is the normal state of being, and homosexuality truly is an outlier (a simple statistical study shows this definitively).
But, they subscribe to a philosophy which insists that normal sexuality is not bifurcated, but a spectrum ranging from the strictly heterosexual to the strictly homosexual — and that most of humanity falls somewhere in between. There is absolutely no evidence of this — but, since when has evidence ever been a hangup for radical feminists?
Perhaps they suffer from “homonormativity”.

HA HA HA HA HA!
Ok, strictly speaking, only evil wimmin are evil.
If it is any consolation, there are evil men, too. I personally know a man who is the embodiment of evil. I know of no redemptive act he has ever performed. To put him into context, he once (that I know of, perhaps more than once) killed a litter of kittens by freezing them to death in a coffee can in a freezer.
Rush featured an NPR Story last Thursday which showed two women who were complaining that a poor economy and high gas prices had forced them to stop purchasing meat.

I think this game sounds hilarious. But what do I know, I’m not a gamer.
About all I ever do is sing at my friends’ house when they play Rock Band. :)
Stupid feminazi cows. Shut up and go braid your armpit hair like a good Bohemian Socialist.
I keep it in the context of those who write the rules always write them in their own favor and always claiming it to be the holy truth.
I want to comment on that pic, but that would be like bobbing for turduckens in a washtub full of mashed potatoes right after Christmas dinner.
They’re outraged... that’s so cute!

Or perhaps just pervonormativity, as homosexuality is probably not the only sexual deviancy they endorse.

The look on Rush’s face says it all.
