]]> Comment on Sigh. by Cy http://warriorgoddess.org/yats/2007/06/20/sigh/comment-page-1/#comment-44 Cy Sat, 31 May 2008 19:38:17 +0000 http://warriorgoddess.org/yats/2007/06/20/sigh/#comment-44 I just apported here from another post around the fatosphere, and we have a lot in common interests. Same name, the love of sci-fi and fat activism. I do keep the one and only fat activism Brazilian blog and, and since you mentioned that ridiculous yogurt ad, let me tell you this. If you think that was bad, you should see some other stuff that goes down in Brazil. There is a gym club called Cia.Atletica that has been publishing horrific fatophobic material for years and was getting away with it until the "geniuses"decided to launch a "viral" campaign on YouTube, with a little video prank, in which actors impersonating law enforcement officers were stopping fat people in the streets and issuing them fake "tickets" for unauthorized public placement of advertising space. In other words, comparing fat people to clandestine walking billboards. And with that they finally bit the dust, because there was a massive movement against it, they had to delete the posted video.

This comment isn't really relevant to your blog post, so feel free to delete it. Anyway, I caught wind of your comment on The ABW (Angry Black Woman) blog. My name is Lucy Dee and I'm a black female standup comedienne in NYC. Based on your worldly response on ABW, I figured you might be interested in my most recent post on Metabigotry in comedy. I'm trying to "get the word out," and I decided to stop by and drop a line. Perhaps, you would be interested in stopping by my spot and giving your opinion? Anyway, feel free to delete this comment. I would have emailed (private msg) you, but I couldn't find it on your site. Thank you again, and thanks for being such an open-minded citizen. best Lucy Hey, Cynthia!

If it's against your policy or something along those lines that's completely fine. I just thought I'd put this out there because it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks very much. Oh and if you can think of someone who would like to put this up please pass it along or send me their email address. Hello,

I find that a lot of the attacks on me come from little Pussycat Doll feminists, who find me disturbingly serious and claim I'm attacking them. Thanks for this.

My parents were able to buy their house on one income back in '61; money was tight, but it was doable. My father wasn't a white-collar worker back then. Now, that collar has to be whiter than white and the pockets full of green. re 3) It wasn’t that way in the past.
