21. A quote..
from his journal..."One final note: The sight of even the suggestion of male genitalia seems to be too much for people to handle. I gave long and careful consideration to whether I should do anything in that area as I was designing the costume, and did some research. Nowhere in the movie, the press kit, or the Rolling Stone article on the making of the film does any male character wear anything, cup, dance belt, or otherwise, to alter the profile or disguise things in any way. I decided to do the same in the name of accuracy."

In the name of accuracy!!, surely, Supormom, you can find no fault in that! ;)

13. How many women his age and in his condition.....
would pose in a white bodysuit, much less post the photos on the internet?? I can appreciate his lack of self-consciousness. And he does call himself "obese." However, I'd bet a woman would receive hate mail for presenting herself like that.

27. The weird thing is...
The costume looks better painted than it does just as the unitard, since the paint *does* sort of detract from the shadows caused by the bulges.

In a way, I'm sort of heartened that he's getting a lot of flamage for going out in spandex while not being totally buff; maybe this means the double standard that gives us women being pilloried for being fat in a bikini and men getting away with hiding their Speedos under their Molson muscles is abating somewhat. (On the other hand, given the things I've been hearing lately about the amount of time/money/energy it takes for both men and women now to seem "presentable," it's a bit distressing.)

20. I think the bigger question
is Why didn't the person taking the pictures STOP HIM from going out into the world like that??

He must be stopped!
