It's wrong to make fun of people for something they can't help -- like being extremely short, say, or ugly, or balding like me. :-} But morbidly obese people have tons (no pun intended) of options these days for losing weight. If they don't do anything, they're like the alcoholic who throws up and passes out repeatedly on your carpet but refuses to admit he has a problem.
"Fat acceptance?" What's next? Crack smoking acceptance? Domestic violence acceptance?
I have nothing against fat people who are happy to stay that way -- except, like I said, when I'm sitting next to them on a plane or in a theatre. Then they are invading my personal space and I resent it.
Anyone who's morbidly obese and does nothing about it (but swill Coke and junk food) should have the courage to put up with a few jokes. Just like the guy with the awful toupee or combover ... if he's in denial about how awful he looks, he has no right to demand the rest of us be in denial about it, too.
Obesity is nearly always a failure of character or self-discipline, or just not giving a shit. I don't see why people who don't give a shit should be tenderly protected from criticism.
And you don't see this shit in Europe. Europeans have too much pride to let themselves become whales. This is an American problem -- Americans with too much access to junkfood and too little self-discipline. My two cents!
