Ricky Gervais Hates Fatties
In Ricky Gervais' new comedy audiobook, he jokes that fat asses who get lipo and the gastric bypass surgery are "lazy fat pigs." Karl Lagerfeld just fell in love (see below).
Ricky said, "If your arse is too fucking fat, stop eating and go for a run." The Telegraph said Ricky was attacking overweight people. He responded to this on his own blog by saying he will never stop the fat jokes until doctors prove that being a member of the chunk club is something you're born with. Has Ricky never heard of the fat gene?! Anyway, here's what he had to say:
I heard someone on the radio once say that they were tired of the prejudice aimed at the overweight. They said something like "you're not allowed to make fun of gay people, so why are you allowed to make fun of fat people? It's the same thing."It's not the same thing though, is it? Gay people are born that way. They didn't work at becoming gay. Fat people became fat because they would rather be that way than stop eating so much. They had to eat and eat to get fat. Then, when they were fat they had to keep up the eating to stay fat. For gayness to be the same as fatness, gay people would have to start off straight but then ween themselves onto cock. Soon they're noshing all day getting gayer and gayer. They've had more than enough cock... they're full... they're just sucking for the sake of it. Now they're overgay, and frowned upon by people who can have the occasional cock but not over indulge.
When a doctor tells me that that's how you become gay, I'll stop making jokes about fat people.
"Overgay" is the story of my life. Just ask my doctor. He prescribed me a diet of less Bravo, more Spike and less cock, more Kid Rock. That last part rhymes!
Anybody who has seen Ricky's act knows that he's a fat bitch who makes fun of fat bitches and he knows it. When he makes a blubber joke, he'll follow it up with, "I'm a fatty bo batty myself..." or something like that. Because he's a plumpy himself, it's okay for him to make fun of fatties, right? Right?
And who takes him seriously anyway? He's a fucking comedian. It's just jokes! Jokes! People get are so damn oversensitive. You can't make fun of fat people, skinny bitches, gays, lezzies, straights, gingers, squirrels, ferns, etc... What else is there left to laugh at? Rocks?! Well, that includes most of Hollywood, so that settles that. We'll only make fun of fucking rocks!
• 
"You can't make fun of gay people, so you shouldn't be allowed to make fun of fat people. It's the same thing."
What moron actually said this, needs to be mocked to no end. It is NOT the same thing. My god. Fat asses continuously want to find some way out of taking responsibility. I'm not saying that it's not hard to lose weight. But to make it, "I'm fat and proud," is just revolting. No, being fat is not normal, and extremely unhealthy. It should never be encouraged or accepted. I'm not saying that people need to be assholes to fat people, but you can change your weight. You can't change being gay. Next, they'll say you can't change being black, and fat people can't change being fat. Get off your fat lazy asses!

God youre right!
why is the state paying for these mega fat arses to get stapled and then they pork up again?
Lock them up in a well padded room with 2 carrot sticks a day so they can work out their issues before they are released back with the rest of us.
I also recommend a reinforced large hamster wheel for them with mandatory exercise scheduled!
Basically everybody has to move their arse for some form of exercise everyday so Im calling on all fat arses to heed my worthy advice and get moving and all their friends to purchase an electric cattle prod to help them!!

I bet youre a fat arse from the South or Mid West!!
I used to have a friend (we had a falling out) who was 5'6" and weighed over 300 lbs. She made it pretty clear early on in the friendship that her weight was a forbidden topic. Because at that time I was a vegetarian, when we wanted to go out to eat together, we typically picked buffets. Once, she bragged to me that she had broccoli on her plate. True, but it had cheese sauce dumped all over it. She would still be going back to the buffet long after I'd called it quits, and her choices were hardly healthy.
Now the sad thing is that this girl's mother weighed over 400 lbs., had had multiple strokes, was diabetic, and could not walk without assistance, but my friend could not see the red flags. Only when she wanted to look for a job and we went shopping for a suit for her to wear to interviews, and she couldn't find anything to fit her at Lane Bryant (she was a 26) did she break down and cry and admit how unhappy she was. I asked if I had her permission to talk to her about her weight, and she said yes. I then told her that maybe there was a genetic component to her weight, but that she ate crap and got no physical activity, and that wasn't helping. I offered to help her: go walking with her; help her make better food choices; whatever.
She seemed grateful and I thought we'd hit a breakthrough, but then the next time her weight came up, and I said again, "You need to eat better and move more," she acted as though she had no idea what I was talking about. This became a familiar pattern. Finally, I started working out on my own and lost 20 lbs. in about three months. I told her about this, hoping it would inspire her...and she told everyone where we worked that I was "flaunting" my weight loss. This was around the time I was starting to give up on the friendship and was convinced that some people just want to be miserable.
Her mother has since passed away. My former friend is even heavier: over 350. I think it will not be very long until she is a virtual shut-in like her mother.
Fat and food are complicated issues. What may be true for one person may not be true for another. I wince when I read comments like "put down the fucking fork" because sometimes you can put all the right information in front of someone and they still won't change until they're ready.

The whole gastric bypass and lapband shit makes me so mad. Why is this surgery allowed to go on? It does nothing to address the issues behind the eating. So if they staple your stomach and you still overeat, you risk bursting your stomach or esophagus or whatever else bad shit can happen. My cousin had gastric bypass around 1999-ish, lost over 100 pounds and a couple years later she had more surgery to cut off excess fat from her arms, stomach and thighs. Now she is huge again, over 250 lbs, I will guess(plus she is about 5'3"). Her skin has to be stretched beyond normalcy. I don't talk to her anymore so I really don't know other than what I hear from my mom & aunt. The big kicker is that she was on Medicaid at the time of the bypass & the state fucking paid for it. How she got that to happen is BEYOND me, that's another GD chapter. Oh well I hate her anyway and she is one of the sneakiest bitches I have ever known. Damn I rambled, sorry all! Anyhoo my point was, why do they have this surgery available? The only way to make it successful is to change your whole excercise and eating routine. And if you make healthy lifwestyle changes, why need the surgery??? LOL kinda redundant imho.

I was watching the "1 ton Mom" on TLC. Haaha. Love those shows. Ok..so the big momma told us on camera that she didn't stink yet she had not left her bed in 4 years.
Her nurse said she loved hamburgers and would eat about 8 dollar menu burgers in one sitting. JESUS! I'd eat 8 burgers in a year!!
Sadly she died after gastic bypass, but she did bring it on to herself and her enablers. She was not able to drive herself to Mickey D's so some one was buying them for her. Someone prepared the huge amounts of food over 30,000 calories a day.
Morbid and super obesity is the equivalent of smokers' lung. shit..if you don't know the fucking dangers of cigarettes and too much junk food..then you must live under a fucking rock.

Gay is not a choice. Sorry but there are babies who are born that don't get the right amount of hormones crossing the placenta and so, YES, some people are born gay.
Fat is not a choice either. I saw my gran-gran struggle with her obesity all of her life and I never once saw her binge eat. My mother on the other hand is a major binge eater and I have no sympathy for her fat ass.

Hi Dot! I have a different perspective. I think that some people are genetically disposed to have a much harder time losing weight, and also genetically disposed to a certain body type (pear, hour glass etc,) but the immutable fact is that the body requires extra calories to manufacture fat. If you eat more calories then you burn, it's stored as fat. I have some very obese people in my family and I've NEVER EVER seem any of them eat more then a mouthful publicly. But I've stumbled on their hidden "stash" by accident when in their kitchen and I've also seen what's in their grocery cart (i.e. very high fat, junky food) They're also not at all active. I think for some obese people denial is a big part of the problem. Not judging. Just sayin' what I've seen.

"This is straight up fuckery."
His Holiness MK, 9/03/08
It seems people who struggle with weight and food issues are usually the most judgmental and I'm included in that group. I think sometimes overweight people make me uncomfortable only because I fight so fucking hard to be average so I just think they're lazy and gluttonous. Either way, there is nothing more disgusting than a person who is unable to clean or see their genitalia. YUCK!
Are we seriously at a level where we are criticizing comedians for making fun of people? Last I checked that's what they fucking do for living.

I don't think Oprah is happy. I think she's one of the fat bitches who SHOULD be happy since she obviously CHOOSES to be fat (that's why I put her in parenthesis), and shut the funk up about it already. I admire Oprah('s money) but she's sanctimonious and irritating. I wish she would shut up and be a FAT HAPPY BILLIONAIRE BITCH.

Oooh, another favorite topic! You guys keep bringing it, and I'm TRYING to clean the apartment today!
They probably exist, but I've never met a poor or black anorexic. Or any other ethnicity than white. I've only ever seen privileged white girls with eating disorders. Like I said, they probably exist, and I'm NOT being racist.
People who are struggling for their very existence have little time for neurosis.
*********************************************
Yeah, that's true! It's almost as if far too many Americans have lost appreciation for HAVING food. I mean, I'm far from wealthy, and I'm as neurotic as they come, but I never lose sight of the fact that I need to be grateful for all that I do have, e.g., food. There are people starving, and malnourished in this world and for me to gorge myself on junk or starve myself so I fit into a size zero just seems like taking my good fortune and shitting all over it.
I'm not preaching here. I'm just saying that perspective really keeps my head in a place where I have respect for my body, for food and for my (relative) good fortune.
**********************************
Sorry, Roger, you are tiger now...
He does have a point.
I'm afraid I'm a fat ass because I eat WAY too much. I really would be afraid of gastric bypass surgery b/c of possible complications. I've seen 2 people die from that mess(I work in the health care field).
However, there are some people who have a awful time staying thin...it's partially a problem of genetics. I suspect this is my problem...on my mother's side...she was heavy all her life, my uncle and grandmother were heavy, also.
My cousins work like hell at it, and they (the ones I know, anyhow) are all thin, so it can be done...just takes a lot of effort, is all....and that willpower is something I fail to possess.

This guy is not thin himself,what an ass
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
.
I'm a sexy-hot, active, full-figured, but proportionate woman myself, and I sort of agree with Ricky Gervais. I get sick and tired of bigger or borderline obese people not wanting to exert the effort it takes to be healthy, but they complain that society should work around their issue.
For me, it's not about size it's about being healthy. My thighs will always have massive amounts of thunder in them, but I can fit in one airplane seat with minimal problems. Walking, being active, and looking your best and working with what you have is less costly than gastic bypass and the lapband surgery.
If you're going to be big, be a big HAPPY bitch (Oprah) and stop running off at the mouth about it!
I also do realize that being overweight isn't about overeating for many people. It could be due to any number of health issues or prescribed medications!
To me, Fat Acceptance is about loving who you are and being healthy in whatever skin you're in, not expecting people to cater to you because you're a fat ass who can't be bothered with exercising and eating properly.
By the way, who's Ricky Gervais?

What the cock is that shit? Alright, not giving a fuck about the fatness issue for a second, this is extremely offensive. The way that he presents this makes being gay seem inferior to being straight. This is extremely fucking offensive.
