What's with all the "fat" threads in GD? Two today, one yesterday. Are there

[CTyankee]

schedules for the fat issue to come back?

I'm beginning to think there are, just as there are schedules for circumcision/breast feeding/smoking/gun ownership...

1. I'm still waiting for the superfecta...

"Should uncircumcised fat people who smoke and breastfeed simultaneously be allowed to own guns?"

2. Something for everybody!

4. If we could just get rid of the fat people, it would be Utopia

I'm not sure what they're all going to do when we're gone. They'll need someone to pick on, that's for sure.

5. I suggested redheads.

And got a snarky response about Pirates in return.

6. Priceless!

I once posted that I had stopped coloring my hair to save money and also because I didn't mind seeing the gray. I got this snarky response about how awful it was that I was "letting myself go"!
Fortunately, other posters came to my defense. :rofl:

8. You could

post something about turtles being nice animals and someone would accuse you of eating turtle soup, raw...out of the can using a human baby skull as a bowl.

I always wonder how this happens but I post what I want to anyway...

Wheeeee!

:rofl:

13. I'm a redhead, too

9. Maybe that many posters are slaves of the MSN homepage

'cuz the fat issue has been all over the frontpage in big, bold letters and bright, animated graphics for a couple of days.

[pitohui]

11. there was a big anti-fat person/hate week at msnbc.com

basically a big front page story on msnbc telling us why we should hate all the fat people because they are destroying the planet and the airline industry and they hog all the hospital resources too

i won't link to it, it's an error filled piece of crap basically trying to stir up hate and pretend that the hate is "fact" based when it is anything but

[CTyankee]

14. Is this what is referred to as "viral" Internet stuff?

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like it to me.

This is sad...
