Mom: Why did you cut up my newspaper? Heart: It's for current events. I had to write a summary of a news story... Heart: This article is about a place that makes these "Fat Suits"...See, you wear this puffy, heavy costume that makes you feel like you weigh 400 pounds. Heart: The idea is, you wear the suit all day long and it's supposed to make you sympathetic to people who are over-weight. Mom: Very interesting. Let's hear what you wrote. Heart: "Americans are a bunch of self-absorbed doofuses who have nothing to do, as this article clearly-" Mom: Maybe you better pick a different topic.
Sympathy for fat people? Nah. Let’s just fat shame people who are overweight because kindness is for sissies. And of course that’s all sarcasm.
