What's the issue here? Was it suddenly devastating news to these women that they're fat or something? We have "Undocumented Immigrants" so now maybe we need to have have "Waistband Challenged" people as well? People who seek out things to offend them are often successful......

I think it's rude to make fun of someone's weight so yeah, I'll say right now I don't think it's right.

I don't make fun of people's weight. I do think they should have done more to prevent themselves from being grossly overweight.

Gosh darn it! I shouldn't have gotten cancer, then! Man, I'll try to do better next time.

Either way, website management 101: never put anything on the website that you wouldn't want seen by millions of people. Not even as a joke. Not even as a test. You never know when the lowest person on the totem pole will press "publish."

Walmart already has a fat girl costume. It's called Walmart employee uniform.

Most reasonable people (IE: not you) would clearly understand that the post was referring to people who are lazy and eat too much.

Fatness is everywhere. There may even be an epidemic. Ebola strikes fear in the hearts of man, but fatness is welcomed with a brass band's rallying cry. I've never been fat, but if I were to ever be, I would acknowledge the fat which can't be hidden and never call it fluffy. For some reason, this all sounds sort of poetic.
