Say whaaaaa????: The Obese America Edition

You know the America is fat when.........


Case #1


 Couples are getting married at White Castle. I had a friend tell me about this a week or so ago. The saddest thing about this shit is when I googled it I got like 3 different other couples. Don't believe me?? View for yourself. I couldn't make this ishhh up if I tried.

Of all the ghetto buffoonery in the land I just can't believe dis ish. This is worse than the couple with the airbrushed Mr. and Mrs. Shirts....smh If yall don't sit yall hungry asses down. You better off getting married at big mama's house and enjoying a plate of collard greens, baked mac and cheese, and fried chicken afterwards. At least that gluttony would be situation appropriate. 


Case #2

I love girl scout cookies. To the point where I don't even buy them anymore because I get ridiculous with my love of thin mints. Not as ridiculous as this hoe though. 

According to The Naples Daily News of Naples, FL The Collier County Sheriff's Office says that the 31-year-old woke up her roommate early Sunday and accused her of eating her Thin Mints.

The Naples Daily News reports that the roommate said she gave the cookies to Howard's children when the children were awake - and hungry - at 1 a.m., and offered to pay her $10, according to police.

Howard and her roommate argued and deputies say that it turned physical - with Howard chasing her roommate with scissors and hitting her repeatedly with a board and then a sign.

Police say the roommate's husband tried to separate them.

Howard is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was released Monday on $10,000 bail.

Really??? Over some muthafreakin' thin mints????? I'm so done....just done. 

Confessions of a bitter Bitch: Should fatties get a room??? My response to the Marie Claire article

Disclaimer: I am not all that fashion forward. I purchase magazines that represent women like me. Like me meaning: African-American, young, working-class, and plus-sized. In my humble opinion Marie Claire doesn't represent the woman I am....therefore I don't purchase it. I do however feel a need to respond to what I consider is an attack on my person and persons like myself. I am aware everyone has an opinion, but that seems pretty effed up and hurtful. So I have no choice, but to respond. 

First and foremost if you have no clue what I'm talking about please read this first. 

Marie Claire's Mike and Molly Article

First I'm not sure who irritates me more in this situation. CBS for making this show, Mike and Molly which isn't a look into the romance of an overweight couple, but merely a vaguely veiled excuse to make fun of plus-sized people. Or Ms. Maura Kelly who simply described the overweight population as lazy asses who have put forth absolutely no effort to change their lifestyles. Or should I be mad at Marie Claire for printing this BS for the world to see? Eff it. I'm mad at all three. So let me break it down into sections. 

CBS

It would be one thing if you chose to make this a romantic drama or something worth watching, but a couple that meets at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting??? ummm seriously?? Filled with fat jokes??? are you serious?? Maybe ideas like this is the reason why I stopped watching CBS in like......the late eighties. This is a complete fail on your part. 97.1 Million people in the United States Of America are overweight. I'm sure out of that large number of people you are poking fun at one is at the very least the son, daughter, mother or father of someone on that set. Hell we know there is at least two overweight characters on set already. The two who chose to take the leading roles *rolls eyes* and I can't possibly begin to imagine what they were thinking. Well CBS I'm disappointed with you, but then again I don't really expect that much from you anyway. I'm not quite sure why I even acknowledged you. This either won't make it to the lineup or will be off the air quicker than you can say Walker Texas Ranger.

Ms. Maura Kelly

I'm confused as to why I even found this on your blog. From the side excerpt explaining it this blog was made solely for you to catalog your search for love. It also read that you are in your thirties and have never been in love. Hmmm I wonder why??? What does berating people have to do with you finding someone?? My fat ass has never had to catalog my lack of love life and datelessness. Wanna know why??? Because that has never been the case for me. I've always been wanted. Even if it was the wrong damn guy. I never searched for love. It came to me because I am a good, uplifting, positive kind hearted person. I care about the feelings of others and respect people's differences. Whether I weighed 185 or 265. There is some young beautiful plus size teenager who read those words and you could have very well crippled her self-esteem. I think what really rubbed you the wrong way was seeing two fat people kissing and in love. While you watched the episode while picking at a salad with no dressing, doing tricep dips on a chair and squats during commercials......ALONE. I understand health is important, but open your eyes. Everyone is supposed to be different. No one has to meet your requirements. And if I must say so myself I may be fat, but I look a hell of a lot better than you. According to all the comments left for you on your blog I'm sure the hurtful things said to you stung, but not as much as what you wrote. Maybe before you turn forty you'll get it right until then....I'll just pray for you. 

Marie Claire

If you are looking for new and exciting ways to ruin your readership keep Maura Kelly around, but if you want to tap into the wide market of overweight women and our hard earned dollars you need a new approach. Shame on you for giving such a bigoted woman an outlet to spew her BS. 

*steps down off her soapbox* So readers tell me what you think of her. Do you agree with her? I do understand everyone has an opinion I am just really turned off by her use of words. 

I mean really......

I know I'm kinda late on this, but hell this is my blog and please believe in this part of the galaxy no matter how late my opinion counts. Okay maybe I'm not fashion forward enough. Or maybe it's that Lady Gaga annoys the effin daylights out of me. Ugh. Like seriously just irritating. She's the girl in high school I would have attempted to trip going up the stairs simply because. Or I would have thrown gum in one of her many outrageous wigs. SMH. But uhhh a meat dress with matching shoes!!! Boo what the eff are you on?! I can't imagine that laying against my skin all cold and raw and shhhhhh.....YUCK!!!! Yeah you took one for the team on that one (Even though I don't have a clue what team that would be), but honestly I thought long and hard about vegan-ism after looking at this shhhh so so so so unappealing!

Say whaaaa??? The Hollywood Edition

1. So R & B singer Lloyd told a magazine that the reason Chris Brown cried during his BET Michael Jackson tribute performance was because Lloyd told him to. Ummm come on Mr. Lloyd Polite if it wasn't for mediocre R & B no one would know you. I can't even say I believe you simply because you're that unimportant. There's Lloyd Banks and then there's you.....Ol' Punk ass Lloyd. 

2. So supposedly my booski, Trey Songz kissed a 15 year old girl at the summer jam concert. As of yet no charges have been filed. And if they are that's a damn shame!!! That was the highlight of lil' Ms. Brooklyn's life. Or he can come to Wisconsin and kiss me all damn day. Free of charges and harassment. Hell ask around ya girl is NOT hard to please. 

3. Notice Mr. and Mrs. Carter and lil miss Rhianna were not in attendance at the BET Awards. Hmmm... that made me happier than seeing Mr. Chocolate Tyrese Gibson in that white outfit. smh. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. That was like covering a Hershey Special Dark Bar in Marshmallow Fluff...soo soo sweet. Sorry let me regain my focus. 

4. Remember when Dru Hill looked liked this?????

Hot huh??? 

Well WTF do they look like this now???:

Something about this pic is very...unsettling. First where is Woody? Second why is Nokio looking like an extra from Alice In Wonderland? And finally what's with Sisqo looking like a gay, hood butler?? Nevermind on the last question. That is to be expected when dealing with Sisqo LOL. 

5. It's been reported that Fonsworth Bentley (made famous for holding Diddy's umbrella) is engaged to actress Faune Chambers (of White Girls and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) Congrats!!! I'm happy for them for two reason!! 1) I love to see black love and 2)This maybe proves that he wasn't Diddy's boyfriend LOL

6. So Alicia Keys is pregnant??? Big Whoop!! And so is a third of the staff where I work. All that means is condoms aren't being used. The question is why was Alicia's dress so damn short at the BET awards? Did you want us to see your babies head? I mean dayum!!!

7. I can not and will not get on the Drake bandwagon if you're from Canada, played a character by the name of Jimmy on Degrassi High, and looked like this in high school

Ain't shyt on your album I wanna hear....call it haterism. I don't care. I'm not buying it!

8. Nicki Minaj can dress like Wilma Flinstone all dayum day. I'm still gonna love her. Don't ask why. I don't have an answer for that silly shyt! It just is what it is!
