I think an airline should be able to charge you extra for being fat, but not for being black.

[miss marmelstein]

I don’t agree. The Left absolutely hates fat people so I doubt they’ll ban fat jokes.

Lardass credits for recalibrating bathroom scales to read lower numbers.

...Mocking fat people now akin to racism.

What is "denying medical treatment options to fat people" akin to?

[demshateGod]

I believe fat will become a victim class, exploited by Big Food. And there is some truth that we’re being lied to about what’s safe for consumption.

[SampleMan]

Oh, I don’t agree with the premise.

I think fat people are fair game for the Left.

It will only be a few short years until fat people are ridiculed for dragging down the otherwise beautiful welfare state.

Fat taxes and regulations are already here and will only grow.

[BitWielder1]

Mocking is bad behavior.
Not being to mention it at all is censorship.
Can't we just relegate it to calling it bad manners and not make any new speech laws, please?

What about bald people?

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

I saw a comment thread somewhere where someone said that something was “crazy.” Another poster came on and said that was “ableist” and hurtful to people with mental illness.

Perhaps we should pay reparations in Snickers.

nothing more sanctimonious than an ex fat person or an ex Catholic....

Beckel, Christie, Oprah, Rosie, etc, etc, etc.....

fat, overweight, obese, plump, stout, large framed, huge, mammoth, Hindenberg-like, human eclipse, slob, porky, portly, rotund, porcine, etc, etc, etc....

Liberal elites mock fat people so it’ll stay acceptable.

[DemforBush]

“One would think being a black man, he’d be more sensitive to having his physical body criticized. It’s totally out of line. He should absolutely apologize.”

Man, talk about your self-righteous/pretentious twits! There is ZERO relevant comparison here.

“It doesn’t take much imagination to see that groups advocating “fat acceptance” will become as whiny and demanding of special treatment as any other “civil rights” group in Washington.”

Spot on. The snotty spokeswoman in the previous quote has already ranted about the “under representation of people of size in tv and movies” or some such rot.

[FatherofFive]

We have a 'guy rule' at our club - be supportive of the fatties. They are at least trying to turn their life around. The fattie at the supermarket with the dozen donuts and cases of soda is a different story.

But I only mock in my mind, never verbally.

[Freeping Since 2001]

Weight reflects personal choices. And often leads to forseeable future costs that end up borne by others.

Race doesn’t.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

People should be mocked otherwise they won’t know that they are doing anything wrong and won’t improve themselves.

[Tax-chick]

I think this is an interesting aspect of the more generalized contempt for all women. Men like this view women as existing either for sexual stimulus - “eye candy” - or sexual use. Women who don’t “serve” because they’re fat, old, disheveled, or handicapped, or because they’re modest, chaste, ladylike, or mothers, can be openly ridiculed like this.

However, they don’t respect the “hot” women who provide them with free sex, either. If the lads weren’t saying women in S.A. were fat, they’d be talking about how they were sluts.

Women, including fat women, can almost take pride in being despised by persons of this ilk.
