Why is it okay for y'all to make fun of fat people, but not of black people? Personally I think the gloves should be off for public people, but y'all liberal goons get all hot and bothered if I make a watermelon joke, but then you get all giggly because Abe makes light of fattiness. Of course it's hypocritical of FoxNews to argue for fairness, but y'all are just as bad. Promise not to get outraged by other people's intolerance, and then maybe (maybe) I'll believe that you aren't just buttering your own toast. Idk.

Also: Here's something I've learned. I can call relatively ANYONE a "bigot" if they disagree with what I choose to do with KFC's famous bowl (consume it, and others like it.) Oh, but it's a genetic thing and metabolism and such and such pretty much 100% accross the board. In which case TECHNICALLY, I'm going to choose to call it Racism. NO, even better: COMMUNISM. Fucking Racism Communist political ads won't let me eat my KFC sfamous bowl in peace and also contribute to society. Now THAT is something I could really put on a protest sign. And will. And did. And now I'm tired (the sign and my arms are heavy) They picked the fattest person as their spokesperson, which makes sense.
