keryxAny of you seen the preview for that "Date Movie" movie? If you have [You can always go watch trailer on the internets if you haven't.], did you think the lengthy fat suit sequence at the beginning was another ridiculous fat joke, a satire of size-acceptance or a satire of fat jokes? Some combination of them all? Something else entirely?
I thought the 'Scary Movie' series were quite good parodies of the latest Hollywood schlock, so my leaning was to see that sequence as... well, meta. And maybe a sign that the confluence of the fat movement and anti-fat bile has reached a new level of cultural relevance where, like everyone knows about it. Fat suits are all over the damned place: people have started using them to bully people into workouts, and to "understand" fat patients - nevermind that, ya know, being fat and wearing sandbags have almost nothing in fucking common. Someone else thinks it's just another fat joke; what do you think?
