I guess I’ve been looking at this headline for a couple of days and am wondering about the use of the insult “Fatty” and the suggestion that if you don’t volunteer, you’re fat.
Given that I’ve been with you 100% with your take on “hipster” bashing, I’m sad to see the bullied becoming the bully, using hateful language for no obvious reason. I don’t see the connection between a person’s weight and their likelihood to give their time for a good cause, if there is one I’m missing, can you please include it in your post.
Lighten up! It means no harm and is not aimed to make fun of fat people. People spend their Thanksgivings eating themselves sick (I do), so this is a reminder to put the fork down and think about all the people who go hungry while we stuff ourselves to near explosion. You can be a glutton whether you are fat or skinny. I am not bashing fat people. I am using a headline to get people to read something they might otherwise ignore. And it’s lighthearted. I am sorry if you take offense.
That’s fair, I can chalk it up to terrible headline writing/poor judgement. I’ll be curious to see what group of people you try to humiliate the next time you try to grab your readers attention.
come on!
