buy me this!

I know it's supposed to be offensive, but something about this 'fat people are mean' shirt makes me want it like I want a 'baby killer' shirt.

I think it's that I like fat people, little kids, and soccer moms so much. And wouldn't it be fabulous to have a fatgrrl closet full of anti-fat stereotype tshirts? The vast potential for dumbfounded stares is thrilling!

I want one that says "Fat People are Mean... RUN AWAY!" and a picture of a fat chick with a chainsaw. Maybe, in my current configuration, a fat bald chick with a chainsaw. And an ax.

And CafePress would let me have that shirt... I love the Internets.

That really is the superultrafantastic thing about the internets. And printers that do iron-on transfers. We can have shirts with ANYTHING, just like that!

Schway, I'd totally get that.

I saw another shirt once that was supposed to be (and arguably is) fatphobic that said "fat people are harder to kidnap" and I totally wanted it. Is that terrible?

I'd totally add "fat people are harder to kidnap" to my imaginary collection. That'd rock.

LOL!!! that appeals to my sense of humour!
when i was pregnant (this is 19 years ago now) one of my favourite t.shirts to wear stretched over my big round belly was one which said
"we are all prostitutes".
maaaaaaaan, some people got so offended!!! lololol!!!!

it sure beat wearing a pinafore frock with duckling embroidery on it. heheheheheh :-)

I want one that says "Fat kills!" with a picture of a bunch of fat people trampling skinny people.

Cute. :) Although I wouldn't want to wear a shirt that implied I feel a need to squash thin folk. I think there's already enough stereotyping that I'm supposed to hate anyone thinner than me.

I think it's a bad idea

I don't think that it's a good idea to buy anti-fat t-shirts, because you're giving money to the people who perpetuate the anti-fat message.

If I swore never to give money to anyone who perpetuated the anti-fat message, I'd pretty much have to flat-out stop buying things in the US. Oh, and refuse to pay my taxes while I was at it. *grin*

You have to think more specifically then that. Take the buying-a-tshirt from Cafe Press thing - the person trying to sell an anti-fat shirt gets like $2 if I buy one. And I get a good $20 worth of inverting anti-fat propaganda. Plus, with a little research, I can even annoy the original fat-hating person by sending them photos of fat people wearing their shirt.
