You know, I'd already seen the story about Carnie Wilson expecting her first baby, but it's the opening line of the article that got to me -- Singer Carnie Wilson, whose gastric bypass surgery five years ago was broadcast on the Internet, says she is again eating for two.

Again?! That's so rude, I don't even know where to begin.

*bursts into flames* That pisses me off. Mightily.

Oh wait! Now I get it! It's funny because she used to be fat, and fat people are funny! Oh... *dies of sarcasm poisoning.

That's okay. Fat people don't have feelings, anyway.

I hate the media.

... it says she says it herself.

So isn't she making a joke herself at her own expense?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but she says it in a way that indicates what all of us would think if we got pregnant, which is, "Well, at least I get to eat whatever I want." Whereas "she's again eating for two" makes it sound like when she was fat because she used to eat for two, which isn't exactly what she said.

possibly she is but it makes it no less rude, If I make a joke about being fat and then you make joke about my being fat, I'm still gonna be upset about it.

Some people should really proofread before they submit their stuff.

.... I hate stereotypes.

I don't care who said it, they deserve a serious ass-kicking. And if it was Carnie, and she made a joke at her own expense, she also made one at the expense of every other fat person on the planet, which sucks. Why do reformed people always get so fucking self-righteous?
