This is probably going to be a bit of a touchy subject. I’m a little torn about my feelings on the issue as it is. It seems that the way to really big bucks in hollywood is wearing a fat suit and parodying fat people. I know this has been blogged about before on other people’s websites so if it sounds familiar, well it is. This is not a new subject. See this is the thing, Austin powers, I did like that movie. I even thought fat bastard was a funny character. But after a while the jokes wear thin. I love Mike Myers as a comedian. I even liked Shallow Hal, and tolerated all of the blatant stereo types. Same thing with Eddie Murphy. I thought the Nutty Professor was a good movie. There were a lot of stereotypical fat jokes in it, same thing with The Clumps. I did my best to not go into watching these movies with judgement, and dispite all of the negatives, I was in fact able to laugh at most of the fat jokes. I’m starting to think that Eddie Murphy is making a fortune off of his fat franchise though. What the fuck? I mean seriously, come on already.
I watched the trailer the other day and again today and I just don’t know what to think. On one hand, I know he is making fun of a lot of very, very, over zealous fat girls who take the “Haaaay, I’m sexy and all up in your face” thing a bit too far. One can even say that it’s making fun of girls like myself who wear the skimpy clothes that I do for my website. I have to admit, I do have to laugh about the fat girls with the Pussycat Dolls “Don’t Cha” and carrying it way too far as if it’s all of a sudden the fat girls anthem. Don’t get me wrong, I wear what I want out in public but you can believe that my fat is not hanging out all over the place. Any outdoor photos I have ever taken of myself especially in bikini’s was done for the sole purpose of my website and at 8:00am when nobody was around. I don’t wear bikini’s out in public, and especially not one that is 6 sizes too small. It’s no secret that men who purchase fat porn like looking at women in clothes that are too tight for their bodies. It’s called catering to a niche. I think the problem is , is that people think this is reality for us. My website sells a fantasy. I mean the stuff I write about in the blog is all real, it’s all a way for people to get to know what I’m like but the clothing is what it is, fantasy. Also, I’m allowed to lampoon myself. After all, I am a fat girl.
But I don’t know Mr. Fuck you man. Eddie I just don’t know. I think you are going a little too far now. I want to have a sense of humor about it and I was really torn with some of the stuff in Nutty Professor because I know I cracked the fuck up over the Richard Simmons spoof. But there is going to come a time when it’s no longer ok to make fun of fat chicks. It’s not so much that there is a comedy based on an angry, abusive, fat, woman (major stereo type) it’s that when I was watching the trailers on Yahoo Movies there was a behind the scenes interview with the cast. One of the cast members actually said “Of course Rasputia smells. You can’t clean all that real estate”. For real though, that is just sooo not funny. Not cool by any means. There are so many people out there that think fat people are disgusting, smelly, beasts.
You know what, educate yourselves people. There are many ways for people of very large size to bathe themselves and not have odor. Hygiene comes down to people either practicing or neglecting theirs. I do not have a problem bathing, I do not have an odor problem either. I’m not a sloppy, lazy, pig. For all the time we have been trying to dispell these myths it’s all going to be shot to shit once again because of someone who is NOT FAT purpetuating a negative connotation. It just irritates me. I’m not mad at you Eddie, not yet at least. I’m going to give the movie a chance but I think you need to move onto another subject matter. Let the fat girls bank off of their fat asses. After all it’s only fair.
