Dear Fat People - Discuss

[HRL]

Imagine my surprise that no-one has started a thread on PH yet for this.

Incredibly offensive? Or just saying how it is?

Please don't lock this thread and tell me to post it in the YouTube thread as I'd like to see what people think about fat-shaming.

This video is in the news as the clinically obese are apparently outraged by it.

Now I watched the video just to see what was said and I wasn't even slightly offended. She makes a few perfectly valid points in my eyes but yes, perhaps it's a bit OTT, and obviously released as a PR stunt.

Mrs Adenauer posted this on her FB page the other day as she found it funny.

Her fat friends didn't, and let her have it with both overfed barrels.

what an irritating tw*t

Couldn't agree more about that. She certainly grates on me but at least I'll never have to hear her speak again.

There are other videos of her that are even more annoying, but I quite like what she says, just not her, or her voice.

The good thing about the video is that it led me to another of her, but talking about bras. So I turned off the sound and watched that instead..
