What is this 'Fat Actress' I keep hearing about?

[Deja Q]

I saw a DVD of it on the store shelf yesterday as well and was disgusted. Too much so to read the blurb on the back.

Disgusted that corporate america, who has hijacked entertainment so much that the diva of divas (the late, great Mama Cass) couldn't even begin to make a career in music because she isn't 5'10" at 40 pounds with a EEEE-cup, is now shoving this image-above-all trash in even more significant ways.

I don't give a fuck if the person isn't a mannequin in appearance. We're human. Give me talent and give me a well devised and written character for them to act. Hand picking someone's idea of "physical perfection" creates an UNREALISTIC VIEW OF LIFE FOR MILLIONS.

Besides, I like bear-type men. And I hate stereotypes too. So unless this "Fat Actress" show has something that makes it worthy, they can save the videotape and re-use it for something else.

1. Oh, my, my. I'd like to think the Lounge is ready for some intelligent

conversation about this topic, what with all the hell it caused before.

I'd like to think so, but...

3. Sorry I missed out on the first round.

I know! If you point me to that URL, I'll ask for this thread to be deleted so I can post my rant in that one.
