28 questions : a meme

Random meme found over at livejournal. Woohoo!

( 28 silly questions and 28 srs bsns answers, because today I seem to wear the srs cat hat. )

unfunny

So.

Marie Claire's blogger Maura Kelly makes a blog post talking about fat people on television: Should "Fatties" Get a Room? (Even on TV?), which is a good oportunity to play some bingo. Otherwise, your self-steem might sunk.

I was aware of this because cleolinda twittered about it, and then read her entry about it: Okay, the Marie Claire thing.

Another interesting read: Lesley at Fatshionista: Who wants to see happy fat people in love? Not Marie Claire!.

And then Marie Claire thought it was a good idea to have guest bloggers to make a series of counterpoint entries: Yes, Fat People Exist: A Vote in Favor of More Diverse Bodies on TV and Free speech is beautiful are the first two.

(Which seems to reinforce the idea that Marie Claire is only thinking of page views and hits. I picture them refreshing obsessively google analytics, recoicing with all the incoming visitors and thinking this is a total success. Which, well, no.)

There are a lot of eloquent people that have said what I wanted to say better than me, so I'll stop here.
