Fat People Are Just No Good
I found this link on Conservative Grapevine and a little piece of me is wondering why it's there. Mostly I'm just seized by a white-hot, near-apoplectic rage regarding the comments below.
What is this link, you ask? Why, it's a link to paparazzi shots of Queen Latifah in a swimsuit at the beach. Apparently, she is not skinny enough to be allowed to wear swimsuits in public. And my family wonders why I don't go swimming anymore. The author of this "article" had this to say: "I know a lot of you would call Queen Latifah fat, but I say, hey, she’s just loving life . . . and by “life” I mean Combo #6."
Two commenters:
Hank Hill - "quick!!!!! Push Orca back in the water!"
Justin - "FLASH…breaking news…Near tragedy today when the Coast Guard mistook Queen Latifah floating on a raft for a helicopter landing pad."
Here is a picture for your viewing pleasure:
Yeah, I know the website is called "CelebSlam." But why are we slamming her for being a size 14 or 16? Seriously. Does anyone else remember what happened to Britney Spears? Yes, she had gained some weight, but she looked NORMAL, and everyone was calling her "fat!"
How many girls with eating disorders saw what happened to her and ran straight to the bathroom to upchuck their 20-calorie dinner? How many overweight women are going to stay home all summer rather than go have fun with their families because this is what gets said about us?
I LOVE swimming. I haven't been in a pool since my honeymoon. I hadn't been in a pool for years before then. So, in the last 5 or 6 years, I have been swimming exactly ONCE. And that's why, because those people commenting on CelebSlam can pretend they only say it about celebrities, but they're liars. They say it about everyone. And we can hear you.
Hell, I went to the GYM and got made fun of for being overweight! In a gym, people! Why would you MAKE FUN of a woman who is obviously TRYING to get in shape except simply because you're cruel. So...those jackasses at CelebSlam can kiss my fat ass. And good for Queen Latifah for not being so self-conscious that she can't go to the beach. Wish I was that strong.
