what if no one were fat?

i should stop reading clueless shit; it depresses me. but then i wouldn't get to read all the amazing clueful responses to it either. like this one:

love letter to a fat man (via [livejournal.com profile] firecat).

what a beautiful response to a hateful article. careful when reading the article itself; it might fill you with dread in its cold, casual assessment of numbers, and only numbers.

i left the following feedback at MSN's site:

I will no longer peruse your site, because this hateful article made me sick to my stomach.

What if no one were fat? By Shirley Skeel.

What if nobody were Jewish? Sounds familiar?

I'd be more interested in What if nobody were hateful. Imagine the savings; they'd outdo the posited ones by some orders of magnitude. But Shirley Skeel and those who thought this piece of unmitigated dreck worthy of publication suffer from a nasty failure of imagination. And that's absolutely the kindest thing I can say about them.
