Yes, Tyra, every year or so a 15-minute-famer or talk host decides to get into a fat suit and see how they're treated. They are shocked. They weep. They learn how oppressive it is, then they go out and forget all they've "learned".

Sort of like Martin Sheen sleeping on a sewer grate to show solidarity with the homeless. Accomplishes nothing.

I've actually sent letters to Sheen and Streisand and Rosie, et al. about their constant "OH THE POOR FRIGGIN HOMELESS" blah blah.

I told them that the BEST way to rid the world of the homeless if for each of them to take in a few. Go downtown, find a few who really break your heart.

Then...Take them to your house, feed them, clean them up, get them some new clothes, help them find a nice job - send them back to school if necessary.

When they are 100% back on their feet - go get yourselves a couple more and start the process again.

Wearing a ribbon and whining about it - isn't helping.

I haven't heard back from any of them.

You hope it makes them a bit more sensitive to people and treat people better. I hope that's what happens when people go under cover like this.
