Fat people on TV is a rare thing, usually the only time you see fat people on TV is when they need to lose weight like on the Biggest Loser or occasionally on COPS. Enter the show Mike & Molly. When my wife I heard that there was a sitcom about fat people we reached for the remote, heated up our nachos and sat down to watch. The show is funny. It’s like the show was made after me and my wife… except I’m not a cop, we’re already married and we would never step into overeater’s anonymous. Really who does that?
It’s 30 minutes of fat jokes, by fat people, for fat people. It’s good stuff. Not to play spoiler, but these characters met during the first episode and we follow the progression as their relationship develops. They have reached the point of intimacy. This is when the show was noticed by the media. The media does not like fat people.
If you haven’t read it. This charming blogger wrote an ignorant rant for Marie Claire. This received a lot of attention from folks. In a nut shell she spoke about how seeing two obese people kissing each other grossed her out. As an obese person… I get that. This is why my wife and I don’t video tape ourselves having sex…that and many other reasons.
So the media and people on the internet went after this person with pitchforks, torches, and probably a few smore’s. Not long after that, there was an apology saying they didn’t mean to upset fat people. What the hell? Stand by your thoughts! If you think fat people are gross, don’t say it and then say… oh I’m sorry nevermind you’re great! My bad! Because that’s bologna… mmmm bologna. Have your opinion and stay with it. There is nothing wrong with saying you don’t like watching fat people kiss. I don’t like watching ultimate fighting, nature shows, or Judge Judy. Rather than tell everyone that every time I see Judge Judy I want to vomit, I simply DON’T WATCH THE SHOW. That’s just one of the great things about remote controls.
Again this blogger was ignorant. She stated that simply watching obese people walking makes her sick. If fat people make her sick, that’s too bad. There’s a lot of fat people. Deal with it. Stay away from McDonald’s, Wal Mart, and State Fairs, which incidentally are three of my favorite places. She also said that fat people are all unhappy. Where do you think the phrase “Fat and Happy” came from? Fat people are hilarious! If you find a fat person who is not hilarious, they will be once they realize that they can be. Self deprecating humor is great, and fat jokes give belly laughs.
I have no problems with ignorant bloggers, but more of ones who waffle….mmmmm waffles.
Haha. This blog is so funny and so real. I just read the stadium seating post and literally just laughed out loud. There is a process of moving fat around to get into a space. Hahaha. Whenever im at a bar or some place thats packed and I have to walk between two people who are close together, I always bend the knees so that my belly can pass below their butts. Haha.
Keep up the good work!
Hey man, these are hilarious! Get your butt back here, and make some more of these! Here’s a list of things I, as an ex-fatty disliked:
1.) That awkaward moment when you and a friend are driving to pick 2 other people up, and you get asked to ‘sit up front, to make room’
2.) Push-ups
3.) Physicals
4.) Buying food at a grocery store
5.) Not wanting the cashier at McDonalds or KFC to think you’re a fat-ass, so you order too little food, and you’re still hungry. lol
Make more of these, though, man!
Hello is it Tony, Yes fat people do make me feel sick, and a don’t watch fat people on telly ,i a have a remote control. And like judge Judy, i bet she’d size you up well. I,m 34 and while i was and School in England, as a child thier was a fat kid. His name was Willis but everyone called him FatMan or Fat Willis. Fat people have to be jolly or evryone would just look at you and think, why is he that lazy, he can’t be bothered to eat the right foods or amount of food. We definitely don,t want to see you having sex, that means your breeding more fat lazy people, who should have died out on a battle field, due too the Unwritten Law of the Survvial of the Fittest.
stuart you are ONE ignorant brit. there are many other factors for a person being fat other then eating choices. hypothyroidism and hormone disorders are just two of them. and how would you like it if someone called you gross because you were british and looked like a horse with bad teeth. i am sure that generalization hurts you and your horse looking shallow gene pool people. and why do you note fat with laziness? there are lots of overweight/ fat people with jobs who keep a clean house, take care of their kids, and do everything a skinny person does. it is so ignorant how you brits generalize but you are inbred from the same three family lines for the last few hundred years so i do not expect you to know any better. fat people are not sick, ignorant euro people like you are. sounds ignorant, huh? know you know how YOU sound.
No… There are a *few* people that are fat who can blame it on genetics, but the fact of the matter is, most people are that way because they ARE lazy, or they eat too much. Most people just need a mental crutch, so they use ‘genetics’ or ‘conditions’ to excuse themselves. I mean, look at it this way: If being fat was an inheritable condition, logic only dictates that a lot of our ANCESTORS would’ve been fat, right? …They weren’t, though.
And you’re not making a good case for someone else’s lack of intelligence, or the worth of fat people by accusing them of being ‘inbred’. Besides… If you knew anything about the British royal family, you’d know that they haven’t ‘inbred’ since the late 1600′s.
