Absurd/Annoying Fat Chick News of the Week
As we've previously said on this site, we object to the use of the politically correct euphemism "plus-size," when it really means fat.
Thursday, USA Today "treated" us to the latest installment of fat chick activism: fat (they call her "plus-size") novelatrix Jennifer Weiner and her obsession with fat women--having at least one in each of her books. "It's important to me, because in so many books, . . . the big girl was the punch line or she would get Prince Charming and everything that came with it only after she lost a lot of weight."
REALITY CHECK:
This week, fat authoratrix Weiner's best-selling chick-lit novel, "In Her Shoes," comes out in movie form, starring decidedly non-fatties Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette.
And skinny Diaz is on the newest cover of "In Her Shoes" paperback because they wouldn't sell with, say, Camryn Manheim on the cover. "You need the sizzle to sell the steak," claims fat novelatrix Weiner. No, people don't want to eat a steak that's fat. They want lean meat.
But she's not as proud to be fat as she claims. Weiner refuses to reveal the size of the gown she wore for the premiere of the movie. Sometimes silence truly is golden.

The "fat chicks are people too" movement INSIST on missing the point that the reason the general public finds the appearance of overweight individuals repulsive is because of the myriad of physiological and PSYCHOLOGICAL health problems usually associated with obesity. Excluding the microscopic 2% who actually have a thyroid condition, the problem is a complete lack of self-control. Look at the babies and small children out there. Already have bodyfat percentages WELL about 30, I see young kids being bottle fed Pepsi and other high calorie, high sugar soft drinks along with snacking ALL day long, and I mean ALL day long. There is basically no exercise at all.
Instead of barking back at the outcry at this catastrophic epidemic America has on its hands, these people need to realize that if they want to be part of the solution instead of the problem, they need to accept responsibility for who and what they are. All journeys to the destination of personal growth begin with that.

I'm fat. I'm unhealthy. I eat at Jack in the Box, Carl's Jr. (Hardees) and Mc Donalds. But I'm wealthy. I am not on ANY government support and if I were to get a heart attack, my checking account will pay for ALL expenses. These fat broads, tubbies, heffers, pigs, hogs, sows, cows, etc., are a heart attack waiting to happen and guess what, I'm going to have to pay for your health?
Fat Chick Authoratrix Jennifer Weiner & "Facts of Life's" Mindy Cohn have better be wealthy, because, I am sick and tired of fatasses who eat all day and not work for a living. Guys who are fat? Guess what, their insurance is paid by them working
And you lardass broads, if you'e offended, take the GODDAMN FORK OUT OF YOUR MOUTH! And look as hot as Debbie
Thank you
