Everyone, 
Please forgive me, but this sort of thing has gone on needlessly for far too long for no living soul to speak out against it:
'Fat' jokes are
NOT FUNNY, and the telling of them serves the continuation of peoples' humiliation and suffering
.
Why is it Ok, this universally accepted put - down?
It transcends
both gender
and race.
This is shameful, in this year of 2010, and I'm not just talking about what you guys have said here but am speaking of the
problem itself.
Seriously,
Being of a 'visible minority' is Ok.
Being female is Ok.
Being gay is Ok.
But if you're fat....
I can see the difference in size between the girls in the picture just the same as anyone, however,
There is no humanly attainable weight
[or body proportions, which is what it amounts to] that causes a person to no longer have feelings [or eyes and ears] and it's Ok to make fun of them from that point forward.
These 'little jokes'
hurt peoples' feelings
, whether or not they are the butt of the current joke
.
In all likelihood they themselves
don't want to be the weight/ size/ have the body proportions they do, BECAUSE OF social intolerance such as the telling of 'fat' jokes, and often times take drastic,
dangerous medical procedures just to not be the butt of the joke anymore.
Please consider this, since
you guys have expressed
strong intolerance to
other things of this nature in the past yourselves.
