How I would go to jail…
Posted by jen July 31st, 2002 in Jeneral.I just was sitting here watching CNN talking about some stupid “Obesity bill” in DC, and I realized exactly HOW I would go to jail someday.
For beating the crap out of some news photographer for shooting pictures of me from behind at the store or out shopping for some anonymous footage of anonymous fat asses in public to go with some news story on how fat is unhealthy or should be illegal.
I might not find out till afterwards when I would see it on TV, but you can be damn sure I’d still have my say with some sort of random violence.
Yup, jail bird for sure eventually.

I know!!! I’ve always wondered how in the hell they get away with the random fat shots. And the same with the random smoking shots - like “smoking is bad….look at THIS random whore dragging on her cigarette…she is BAD.” Those horrible, horrible, news toads. We should go out and take pictures of THEM, randomly, with their kooky helmet hair and bad 80s suits and broadcast some sort of “News People Should Be Illegal Because They Talk Funny and Have Hair That’s All One Piece” story…see how THEY feel!!
This has bugged me for quite some time as well. It’s as bad as those “Glam-Don’ts” depicting what Glamour magazine editors have determined are fashion faux pas. At least the victims in that case have their eyes boxed out, which is kind of cool-looking. But still…! Do you think they film that footage with hidden cameras? Shouldn’t that be illegal? Just because the faces aren’t shown, doesn’t mean you couldn’t recognize someone. My biggest hear is that one day I’ll be secretly filmed cramming some fast food down my gullet while driving down the road.
I’m with you 100% on this… Whenever I see the random footage of overweight people walking down a city sidewalk or whathaveyou, I get so mad I could spit! I don’t think news channels should have the right to film people without their knowledge - especially for such a degrading purpose! Those senators should work on a bill outlawing THAT instead of worrying about tubby kids.
Sing it, sisters!
This comment isn’t on the exact topic that you were mentioning, but it is somewhat related. I’ve sometimes wondered about fat actors on TV or in the movies. For example: in “
hallow Hal” there were many overweight women in the movie. During scenes filmed from the perspective of the lead actor, the women are all beautiful. However, everyone else sees these women as they “really are” which in most cases is very unflattering. That always makes me wonder about the overweight actor as a person who is allowing herself (or himself) to knowingly appear on film in what is obviously going to be a degrading role. How does it make them feel, knowing that their role in the movie is to be made fun of by other people. I guess the money talks louder than their pride.
