I have the Packer-Eagles game on, and they just did an ad for this Fox show "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee."

Showed this HUGE fat slob, dancing in his underwear.

1. Perhaps a better title would be

"Help! My Fiancee is a FReeper!!!!!"

2. I have some advice for future grooms...

Go buy a mason jar and give it to your future wife.

Might as well have some input on where your balls will be stored from the moment you say "I guess so" until you die.

Good luck, and remember, strippers are few and far between once you slip a ring on your sweaty finger.

9. and on and on the fundies rant

about how us gay folk are out to destroy the sanctity of marriage. They oughta take a look at the attitude of some straight folk.

Balls in a jar. :eyes:

11. Marriage is GREAT!

Of course, I married an unusual woman...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

18. Actually, that's not entirely true.

Skip and I actually went to a strip club this weekend, and we had a ball. Of course, there was no touching of tipping for either of us (I don't like girls like that, and he knows I'd go ape shit if one of those skanks touched him). But he can go watch...As long as I go with him.

3. Thanks

Us larger-sized people really appreciate your sensitivity. And that of the creators of that cruel and moronic program.

4. I'm also fat.

But this guy is HUGE.

I'm about 40 pounds overweight myself.

Did you get mad when Weird Al did that video, "Fat?"
Just curious.

[Terran]

7. No

"HUGE"? What does that mean, exactly? Ten pounds heavier than you? How much do you actually weigh?

"Fat" was a satire; and plus it showed that big men can still dance, so I was okay with it. The guy in MBFOF is not even as big as most of the guys who appeared in "Fat". If you feel that strongly about the guy in MBFOF, what do you do when you see a *really* fat person? Faint dead away?

My point is, your attempt at humor was needlessly cruel, disrespectful, and over the top; in fact, perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the show itself.

10. It's not that the guy is fat.

It's the fact that Fox is exploiting him for being fat.

How much money did they have to wave in front of this guy, before he would do that idiotic dance in his underwear for the camera?

What Fox is doing is playing up the stereotype of the fat guy as a crude, obnoxious slob.

No doubt they do this to the women on that show also.

What I posted is a slam against the producers of this piece of crap, for pandering to those too crude to watch Jerry Springer.

12. i dont think thats what fox was going for...

i think fox was going for the 'my big fat greek wedding' kinda thing. and just found a chubby guy to play along... i donno.

:shrug:

15. Okay, whatever you say

I am going blind, help me...

I have the Packer-Eagles game on, and they just did an ad for this Fox show "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee."

Showed this HUGE fat slob, dancing in his underwear.

That's the complete content of your original post. I don't see in there any concerns about exploitation, all I see is you making fun of a fat guy. And btw, "slob" does not appear in the title of the show; that was your word choice, not Fox's. The guy is overweight...therefore he's a slob.

[Archae]

17. What's the title of the show?

"My Big, Fat, Obnoxious Fiancee."

And practically the entire ad shows the guy being a fat slob.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

19. I'm going to say that any fat guy dancing in his underwear is a slob...

That's a new rule. And any guy who would purposely let himself be exploited is getting what he asked for. Dirk, I'm a fat chick, and I was disgusted by it. I don't think he was saying all fat guys are slobs. I think he's just saying this one is. THe man is in serious need of a waxing, too, I might add. *Shivers* UGH.

5. Thought this was a support-thread for superstitious masturbators...

You won't go blind, honest.

As for the hair growing on your palms, well, don't say you weren't warned.

Just being silly -- :toast:

6. The guy was a bear and he's cuter than that blonde bimbette brat

Though FOX is readily turning TV into a freak show for its own financial gain, while FOX News then fires up in a huff saying how deplorable TV has gotten. What's the problem here?!

"bear" as in 'bear'. Gay male lingo. I've never heard it used in a derogatory fashion.

[Bertha Venation]

8. they ran that p.o.s. commercial about four hundred times

during the Eagles/Packers game. I'm so thoroughly f'ing disgusted by the Fox network that I don't even think I'll ever watch "Simpsons" or "Malcolm" anymore. The whole damned network is trash.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

13. And I was going to say "Stop Looking at Internet Porn"

until I read your message.

[TXlib]

14. Then stop doing that thing your Dad warned you not to do!
