Excellent point!

To her no-doubt disappointment, though, I doubt Rush will give her the time-of-day.

Perhaps the most hilarious sitcom episode ever aired:

Al Bundy and Fat Chicks

Ha!

If he does, it will be must lissen radiyo. ;o)

A social work professor at the University of Iowa told Ramos to return to the bar.

“She told my friends and I to go back and see if the same thing happens and to try to get them to say aloud ‘I am not allowing you up because of your size,’” Ramos said.

On April 14, Ramos returned to the Union Bar with a group of friends. Ramos’ friends, who she said are all thin, were able to get up on the platform easily. But Ramos was blocked from entering, she said.

Ramos asked the bouncer repeatedly why she could not dance on the platform.

“He said, ‘You’re not pretty enough and you’re pregnant.’ I said, ‘I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that I am not pregnant.’ He then looked at my stomach and said, ‘You obviously are.’ They knew I was not pregnant; it was there way of calling me fat without having to actually say it,” Ramos said.

Ramos approached the Human Rights Commission in Iowa City, but the organization told her they could not do an investigation because size discrimination is not illegal by law, Ramos said.

I think I smell a fat girls “movement” getting ready to form.

Thanks a lot for THAT mental image!!!

[Elsie]

The incidents, she said, have made her question her worth.

Me, too!

[Elsie]

She's going to forever be known as the "chick too fat to dance on the bar".

forever ??

15 minutes max.

[Elsie]

You spelled LAID wrong...

Mad Cow Disease?

The zombies are homing in!

[Elsie]

Why the need for cruel comments?

I take any bets that say she was NOT running her mouth to begin with.

[Elsie]

If the bar collapsed under her weight she would crawl straight to a lawyer.

Or mash the three that were under it!

ADA is law, after all.

No; that does NOT stand for

All
Dancers

If you don’t like it, change your looks or don’t go to places made for shallow people.

The movie, Shallow Hal captured it well.

After I saw it; I came to realize how shallow I was!

Try changing decades of stupidity in yourself!

Takes a lot of guts to have yourself be ridiculed twice.
