Because you have the technology does NOT make it ok to use it, asshole.

Yeah I’m gonna need to see a pic of what you are talking about to fully understand the situation. Thanking you in advance.

Knock of the stupid act, it’s almost as annoying as your righteous indignation.

The website where the picture I posted is from is this: http:// poorlydressed.com/ (might not be safe for work)

On that site they have LOTS of people they make fun of for being poorly dressed. There are PLENTY of pics of girls with fantastic bodies who are wearing highly inappropriate outfits (you’re welcome Rand Rover). They’re there right along with the girl you wrote about in the OP. For a moment I’ll pretend your “What? I don’t get it!” stupid act is real and I’ll spell it out for you… people are being made fun of for what they wear. Young, old, fat, thin, white, black, etc etc.

You’re choosing to get yourself all worked up because the girl in the picture you saw happened to be quite fat. I have no doubt that you have engaged in making fun of others for different reasons. If you say you haven’t you’re either a saint or a liar. You just happened to be offended when FAT people get made fun of because it hits close to home. I have no doubt in mind that you sneer at people for other reasons. After all, you’re the sneak-bragger who let us know recently that unlike so many on your Facebook, YOU are a woman of MANY interests and are well rounded (heh) where your poor pitiful friend isn’t and wondered how you could help her with this terrible affliction of hers.

Personally, I’d think you’d have enough to work on in your own life considering your personal circumstances.

Thanks for the link, Sleeps. I was sitting around bored anyway. :slight_smile:

Edit: Stoid, not a minute on the site and I found an example for you (NSFW-ish).

Cheers!

Aw, don’t beat around the bush. Call her a fatty. She likes it.

She may not intend it, but it’s still going to happen.

Guess what, Stoid? You have shown yourself to be, in the past, one of the most judgmental idiots I’ve ran into on this board. But apparently, you, and only you, it seems, are the one to be allowed to judge. Guess what? Life doesn’t work that way. And when you leave the house, how you dress is how you present yourself. People make a living ragging on people for how they’re dressed.
Besides, most of the pictures I’VE seen at “People of Walmart” are usually just fashion-clueless, not even fatties. Or they’ll comment on what they’re buying, the way they’re watching their kids, etc. That and a LOT of obvious nutjobs. (Like this one guy with the raccoon on his head)

ETA: Sleeps – that is an awesome site. Thanks!

One thing, for me, is that the concept of “reasonable expectation of privacy” is fast approaching zero.

The quote as I’ve always seen it is:

– Mel Brooks

Well, you’re completely wrong about everything across the board, as it happens.

I looked at the first three pages of pictures, and I saw four pictures of girls with what are considered very nice bodies, wearing very revealing clothes. I was not motivated to laugh or even smile. They were wearing very revealing clothes… not funny. Not anything, really. My strongest reaction is wow, isnt’ that just uncomfortable? And I’m pretty sure that most men would not laugh, they would be thrilled. And many women would snort in disgust and judgment, with the “slut” comment, but I’m not invested in that way, and it’s still not funny.

As for the rest of your assumptions, you are mistaken. I do not now and haven’t for most of my adult life, found humor in other people’s shortcomings, most particularly shortcomings associated with their appearance. (I don’t recall ever doing so, even as a kid, but I’m going to assume I did) I think it’s very likely that this is a direct result of having been varying degrees of overweight in my life, and if that’s so, then that is an excellent reason to be grateful for it.

I don’t laugh AT people. Scouring my memory, I can’t think of any instance. Im sure it’s happened, it must have, but I can’t recall it.

Now, that isn’t to say that I haven’t laughed at genuinely witty jokes that are about appearance-related things. I always think of a joke that I believe Louie Anderson told that I thought was a very funny fat joke, because it was clever and smart and he told it on himself, when he played in snowball fights he always had the advantage because they snowballs would never hit him, they would just go into orbit around him. That was funny.

But 99% of what passes for funny in the realm of pointing and laughing at people for their appearance comes down to just laughing because they are pointing, as though the mere fact of fat or bald or skinny or ugly or have acne or whatever is inherently funny, and I don’t think it is at all.

And actually, I don’t think most people do either. I don’t think that most people think it’s funny, I think the laughter is just sneering.

Stoid, you can comfort yourself in the knowledge that you aren’t Guin. You can unfatify yourself, but Guin will always be an ugly red-headed bitch who lives with her parents at well past 30.

There’s no reason good enough.

Oh. I honestly didn’t mean anything about her being fat. I was referring to the mess she’s in due to the long and drawn out legal battle she held on to for years. Now not only does she have to pick up the pieces financially, she’s lost time she sunk into it that she can never get back.

The fact that I’m judgmental is self-evident, Guin.

I have no problem at all judging the person who took that picture and writing the rant about it. Because they had no problem judging that women and stealing her photo and posting it publicly.

I have my criteria for what people deserve to be publicly judged on, other people have theirs. I’m expressing mine, they expressed theirs.

It’s a beautiful thing in some respects, it surely is.

Actually, I’m a brunette. I let the red grow out. :wink:

Because that’s how you roll. You just let shit happen.

What has mom laid out for you to wear in the morning?

I think it really depends on where you are as to what is appropriate. Having seen a few shows on what people consider fashion (this is why you should never lose control of the remote), I’d don’t think I’d be out of line to say that a lot of it would be fodder for the website that Sleeps with ButterFlies posted. It might be tidy, but it isn’t non-tacky. But having seen the site, there are some clueless people out there. I’d be glad if the cluelessness of people just applied to their fashion sense, though.

Nevermind.

And I wouldn’t want it back, if it meant being who I was when it started.

Nothing’s ever a waste if you pay attention. The negatives of the last years speak for themselves, but equally true is the fact that I have reaped life-changing rewards from the process and I’m better for it.

Yes, that was one of the ones I saw. I don’t think it’s particularly funny, just weird. She has a nice ass and she feels good about showing it off very explicitly. Whatever.

Isn’t there a difference between groaning at what someone has chosen to wear in public on the internet and telling someone to their face that they’re ugly and have no fashion sense? I think they’re different. Strangers on the internet are outside of my Monkeysphere and I don’t interact with them the same way as I do with the real people in my life.

You’re so full of shit.
