Bad Stereotype


I found this show completely repulsive. She just reiterated the common misconception that all over weight are lazy, and just sit around and eat all day. She is the reason why over weight kids are teased, and why over weight people have just self esteem issues. She is exploiting her weight, and trying to turn a buck any way she can. She makes me sick. I could only stomach one episode. Not all over weight people are pathetic, lazy, glutonous, out of control LOSERS, like she portrays.

Hm. Too bad you didn't learn a bit more about the show and it's meaning and then maybe you wouldn't be blaming HER for everything under the sun. You don't think she's ever been teased and knows how it feels? Go do a bit of research before you presume to know what she's doing. I don't think she had the entire existance of fat people on her show. She's one person and that's how she was ACTING in her SHOW. I also don't believe she ever said that's how all fat people behave.

Did you even look into what the purpose of the show was? What the messages were? She's making fun of people who think that you can lose weight with stupid fads and idiotic "solutions." And have you ever heard of that little method of being able to laugh at yourself?

I'm so sick of people bashing Kirstie and this SHOW (which is just that and not a biography or documentary) when they don't even understand the meaning. It wasn't meant to be just about fat people. It's about how people spend so much time trying to be "better" than what they are and they still aren't happy once they reach that goal. It's about poking fun at people who think it's a good idea to take laxatives to lose weight, or to smoke crack to get thin. There ARE people like that who think these are GOOD ideas, and she's mocking THOSE people, not the ones who are fat. Good grief, she's already had to deal with her own kid going through the whole "am I fat" phase and I can assure you it was no picnic for her, as a mother, to have to hear that. She's said that if you're overweight and HAPPY with being that way, then fine. She's said some fat people can look good and carry it off well, but she isn't comfy being fat herself. If the tabloids can cash in and make money off of her weight, so can she and she's far more entitled to it than they are.

What kind of person, as you claim " cashes in" on her weight issues. Have some damn dignity and self respect!

Sorry you don't know what a TV show is and how it isn't reality. You're saying it's fine to have people lying about her and getting money by doing so, but she's not entitled to get any money. If she wants to laugh at herself and make fun or idiots in the world I don't see what business it is of yours.

the same people who claim disability benefits and what not from being overweight or disabled :) only hers is more public, being that shes an actress, what a suprise.

obviously some plus sized people cannot poke fun of themselves. i love doing it to myself every single day. it makes your skin thicker and more resistant to hurt feelings.

It's also easier to make fun in a NICE way, unlike some people who feel the need to make fun in a harsh hurtful way and purposely.

Please cutt Kristie some slack, if she can have a good sense of humor about her weight then more power to her!

It's just that time of the season when people pick on her, lol!

I suppose some people missed the lecture about "If you can't laugh at yourself...."
