Last month I posted about a new (then) TV show called 'Mike and Molly', about two chunky people in luurve. I thought it was probably a good idea for the media to try portraying fat people as real human beings who fall in love and make out and shit, but apparently some people are offended by it. Seems the mere thought of two fatties getting in each others' atmospheres is enough to make some skinny bitches hurl. Maura Kelly, for one.
Now, I'm not really interested in telling you my thoughts on the matter, because I think you can probably guess them (if not, I'll sum up: I hate my body, and think it's fat and therefore disgusting, but I also believe that anyone and everyone has a right to get it on with a consenting adult, and I definitely don't think two fat people is any grosser an image than two old people or two teenagers or two of anybody whose naked coupling isn't thrust at us from tv and movie screens on a regular basis). Ok, so I kind of told you my thoughts. But the point was, I think The Bloggess's thoughts were a much better example of what thoughts should be: thoughtful.
And that's all I'm going to say for tonight, except this: go you commenters! Some of those 'oh, snap!' moments on Maura's original article were pretty damn priceless. People who have a hard time with their appearances are usually pretty clever. Let that be a lesson to all fattists out there. Intellectually, we will best you.
