Really, really, really stupid column in Chicago Sun-Times by Laura Washington about Kevin Smith situation (thanks, Martha-baby, for the link).
"He needs to lay off the tweeting and put that energy into reducing his girth. There's nothing funny about America's obesity epidemic." Now you go upstairs and you think about what you've done!
One peril of our country's unwillingness to intelligently address issues of size is, well, unintelligence. In print. Over and over. Among the other problems with this dumb-ass column is that the writing is terribly superficial.

Who am I?
My name is Elizabeth Tamny. GenX-er involved in size acceptance in diff ways since c. 10 B.I. [Before Internet].
This blog is about issues of size as and when I see and am interested in them, which can mean size acceptance, media, clothing, language, art, movies . . . whatevs. Good, bad, infuriating, beautiful. A scrapbook.
My other blog is here. Note: postings earlier than 2/6/10 are from that blog.
