As someone who's obese, I'd just like to say that maybe they should move more if they want to be included.

FTA:
But Helen Ward of The Parents' Voice, a political party that formed in opposition to a Burnaby school district anti-homophobia policy, said the organizers' song choice only stands to divide the community.

Somehow, I don't think the pro-homophobia group is really concerned about things that divide the community.

Fat white kids problem.

But who will speak up for the children of retarded parents?

They can dance if they want to.

They can leave their "friends" behind

It will always be socially acceptable to hate on fatties.

There is absolutely nothing that a gaggle of suburban soccermoms won't find offensive.

I do find it a bit ironic that the only kids 'bullied' today will be the ones who choose not to wear the pink shirts.

damn straight

It's not always easy being fat and white...

...but it pays the bills.

farkingismybusiness: Just get the fat kids drunk.

Thank Jeebus. I was worried there for a while. Just wouldn't know what to do with my day, if I couldn't get my hate on.

Who cares if people find it offensive? This is talking to kids, not adults, and kids don't tend to get offended by pop music.

well I for one am glad our neighbors to the north have some derp of their own

Learning how to dance is easier than neurosurgery. Actually, considering what passes as dancing these days, it is easier than toasting a pop-tart.

In the process of learning how to dance you can burn off the extra fat. Eating less pop-tarts wouldn't hurt either.

Problem solved.

What about parents of children who can't sing? and do so badly with AutoTune?

You know, the ones that should off themselves.

My niece has a rare ear disorder that makes kids sometimes pick on her since she doesn't enunciate well and she isn't represented in Lady Gaga's song so OBVIOUSLY that video is discriminating against her and making fun of her condition!

/Stupid religious weirdos

As someone who is an Orient Gay Black White person, imo this is insensitive.

In fairness, obese people were not born that way.

Pop culture is crap now, get over it. the music may or may not promote exclusion, but kids are stupid, and they made an effort to be kind, even if they chose a shiatty song they liked. Go to an Arab nation if you want asexuality.

here to help: Canada has been steadily ramping up the derp in the past half decade or so. There's supposedly some extremely aggressive pro life group trying to infiltrate the Liberal party in Ontario and actually got one freak elected. His sole purpose is to squawk about making abortion illegal again. Even the hard line conservatives are condemning him and his backers.

There already are pro-life Liberal MPs, unless you mean at the provincial level.

My nephew weighed 32 pounds at birth, true story. Now he is six years old and weighs in at 349 pounds, what are the parents to do?

Whenever I see outrage like this, I wonder where these concerned parent groups are when stuff like Penn State happens.

You have a coach raping boys for decades, a circle of people who knew about it and enabled it for decades, and judges taking it easy on the coach (low bail, keeping the trial local, etc.).

You have idiot students running around rioting because almighty JoePa (rot in hell, cancer was too good for you) was fired.

Where the hell are all the concerned parents groups on this issue? It's only now that the Feds are involved that it looks like real justice may happen.

Go on Maury I guess.

Did I miss that quote in the article? Or is it just another fabricated quote by a submitter?

What about the plight of basketballhead girls? Where's their anthem?



Just thought this was weird and needed a thread to post it in.

The sad thing is, the Chunk character wouldn't work today. That kid wouldn't even be the husky boy in the crowd now.

Ive seen most of her videos. So because she advocates inclusiveness for everyone, some group of helicopter parenting groups decided that 'everyone' doesn't mean 'everyone'? Semantics made up by a group that wanted to make up some random crap and be mad at it.

Other countries have real problems, like people taking RPGs to the face, dying of hunger, no schools for kids etc. If they want to help others, begin where there are things you can help with. If you have to make up shiat to get attention, you probably don't deserve a voice.

Greymalkin: Learning how to dance is easier than neurosurgery.

As someone who can't dance, I painfully object. Unless you meant dancing is hard, but not that hard, then I agree. It's still hard.

How do you rhyme "obese" in a song?

Video games and corn syrup? Or just corn syrup?

Those must be Canadian pounds...

You missed it; it's near the end.

As a suburban mother of two elementary kids, I have to say the only thing I find offensive about these sorts of things are the responses from other parents. I am torn between wanting to join the PTA here so I can be actively involved and wanting nothing to do with a group that is overwhelmingly made up of meddlesome bible-thumping harpies.

Offended.
