08/10/2002 entry: "This is for you, ass"

I have this friend, who has a group journal website. I read it occasionally, and sometimes I do find things I don't agree with but despite that I make minimal comments. Because disagreeing isn't anything to really care about in most situations.

But today, well, I am just appalled.

He was talking about that damn Anna Nicole Show. I agreed with him about everything else, I think she's ridiculous and so's the fact that she has a show. This whole reality thing is getting a little crazy. Anyhow, he started going on and on about how she was fat and shouldn't be a sex symbol because of how big she is. Wow. He didn't say it the way I did, he was a lot meaner about it.

I'm just shocked. I always am when people make fun of other people's size or weight. It makes me sick. It's like, are you 12 years old or something? Most people grow out of that shit.

Anna Nicole Smith may not be some skinny or super toned model, but I'd MUCH rather have someone with her type of body on TV. I may not particularly like her, but it's not because of her body. It's the way she acts.

Granted healthier bodies tend to be more attractive due to things Nature instilled in us. However, you can be a bit bigger and still be well within a healthy range.

I rank discrimination against those types of people right up there with racism and sexism. It's just so immature and stupid to care so much about a person's weight/size.
