I, personally, am sick of som DUers blanket condemnation of Fatty Arbuckle

I think we should at least wait until th evidence is in.

This is just more DU anti-obesity bias. "oh, his name's Fatty, so he MUST be guilty!".

"Arbuckle was one of the major stars of the silent screen when he was charged
with the rape and resulting death of an obscure 25-year-old starlet named
Virginia Rappe at a drunken party on Labor Day weekend in 1921. The details were
shocking, the rumors more so: that Arbuckle had torn Virginia's insides with his
266-pound weight; that his drunkenness had alternately rendered him unable to
perform, whereupon he angrily violated the girl with a wine bottle, or a Coke
bottle, or worst of all, with a jagged piece of ice. When all was said and done,
however, Arbuckle was acquitted in his third trial. He was free, but his career
was over, and he died in 1933 having never regained his former popularity."

1. What about Fatboy Slim?

That insults both the grossly obese and the insanely thin.
Let us burn this hateful man's records.

4. No, I KNOW Fat Albert raped and killed that girl.

I saw it, and the resulting scene in which he was remourseful, and that slow organ music was playing in the background.
