Online social justice? For a movie? Don't think so.

Yeah, but skinny jokes are okay in our society? I hear fat people always mocking and saying stick jokes to thin people. I'm pretty thin, and I can't count the times I've heard "oh, you're skinny. Eat something" from obese people. As usual, some groups get protected while others are safe targets.

These pc-obsessed times are getting old.

I couldn't agree more to robken0174's comment!! My whole life I was picked on for being stick thin, my teachers in 6th grade always teased me, even though other kids in my class were skinny enough. In public, even not-so-fat girls have told me to "eat something" it is disgraceful. Fat jokes are terrible too. people need to get along better!

I was more bothered by the fact that everyone was sharing that same tube of lipstick. Gross! I know Rosemarie told Hal that the kids didn't have any contagious diseases but it's still gross to me. You wouldn't share your toothbrush with someone just because they weren't sick would you?
