Yes, and most anyone's first reaction when they see that (it was a shock, no?) is one of horror. But, I would never make fun of anyone busting their buns to get in shape. I do feel bad for her because she looks like she has a health issue, not greed. And I don't make fun of fat people, either. I was picked on when I was in elelmentary school for being shy and timid and never forgot how it made me feel.
Anyway, how did your job interview go yeaterday>

Well...I wasn't horrified by the pic...but, more horrified by the reactions of people on this thread. But, that's just me.
And my interview went well, thanks.

What others have said compared to what I said were far crueler than waht I said - not to say it''s right but it was my first reaction.

Thanks, hon

I think a group viewing of the Tom Browning classic, "Freaks" is in order:

Plot Summary for
Freaks (1932)
A carnival barker displays a sideshow freak called the Feathered Hen and tells her story. Cleopatra, a trapeze artist with the carnival, is adored by a midget named Hans. Frieda, Hans' fiancée (also a midget), warns Hans that Cleopatra is only interested in him so that he will give her money. Cleopatra has an affair with Hercules, and when Frieda lets it slip that Hans is to come into an inheritance, Cleopatra and Hercules plan to get the money be having Cleopatra marry Hans. During the wedding reception, Cleopatra, although openly romantic with Hercules, is accepted by the freaks, but is revolted and mocks them. The freaks decide that they no longer need Hercules in their carnival and have a new career for Cleopatra all lined up, and make sure she doesn't "chicken" out.

Well...I was talking about ALL the comments...not just yours. I asked about your profession because I thought that someone with your background might be more empathetic to someone like that woman. That's all.

Don't worry, fat people don't have feelings.



You know, I bet she'd be very interesting to talk to. What a complicated view of humanity she must get.
