The Inhumane Exploitation of Fat People

6a00d83451d69069e201156e945bcc970c-popup.jpgI consider myself to be a pretty level headed person, but I do tend to lose my cool when I see people being taken advantage of and abused.

That is why I am incensed at the commercial I saw today from FOX. They are advertising their new show, "More to Love". It is from the creators of The Bachelor with one important difference. They are using only fat people.

Now, at first glance, all of you skinny people are saying, "Aww, how cool. They are going to make sure fat people get love too.", but I am going to stand up and say as a leader within the Fat Community that "This is wrong". This is the blatant and inhumane exploitation of Fat People for financial gain. Never would America tolerate a show entitled "Enough to Love" about matchmaking midgets. In fact, last week a group of midgets petitioned the FCC to ban the M word from broadcast television. Can we also ban the dreaded F word? No, not that one. The three letter one.

No one is outraged, and no one is going to watch this show because of the people. They are going to watch the show because there is nothing more hilarious than watching the uncomfortable fat guy approach the pool with women all around. They are going to watch because when you put 3 fat people in the hot tub the water splashes over the edge soaking all their clothes and creating yet another uncomfortable situation. My biggest fear is spandex. You can deny it if you want to, but we all know the big girl that thinks she can wear the tube top or the pants from back in the day. We don't need to encourage behavior like that.

Lets be honest here. The fat man is the most discriminated against person in America. No one celebrates our accomplishments or additions to society. Think about it.. The Remote Control - We came up with that. The Drive Thru - That was us. Curb side pickup at even the nicest restaurants - We demanded that. The Extended Cab pick up - That was us. The Seat Belt extention - Us again .


Here's an idea. Let put ALL kinds of people on the normal show... Wait, thats ridiculous. That would never work. We might be forced to recognize that fat people are valued members of society.

Call your senator and your local cable provider. Say no to the Inhumane Exploitation of Fat People. Petitions can be found at your local KFC, Kream Doughnuts, or any major buffet chain.

(Sidenote: This was all meant in fun. If you were offended by anything. Get over it. Its all jokes.)
