    It's amazing this chick is making money off of videos like this, I made it about a minute in but watching her inspires the same feeling as nails being drug across a chalkboard.

    the negative reaction to this video have been hilarious. People seem really offended by this chicks opinion and she doesn't care.

    YouTube suspending her channel made it even more viral. Not sure how big of a comedienne she really is, but comedians are generally offensive. Fat people are pretty sensitive.

    She's a comedian

    This stuff as pointed out by the rodney dangerfield post was just normal jokes in the 80s

    Dying here. It's immature, but they still get me.

    As for her, I don't see what the problem is. Everyone has an opinion...on everything.

    It had some good laughs.

    The hell with giving up Coke and Fries though.:mad:

    Love that guy, he was fat too though lol (in older age).

    One thing she didn't mention much in the video is the significance of the improvement in quality of life. Being obese can and in most cases does, make people miserable, socially, mentally, self esteem wise and of course physically.

    The way she made the video, many people will get offended, and I can see why. It's not politically correct in any way, but there are many videos made by scientist, doctors, well respected people who talk about how important health is and how dangerous and bad for you obesity, and as we can see, for the most part, those aren't doing much. So maybe this type of video isn't all bad, it will reach more people, people who don't look up politically correct health videos.

    Comedians are usually talented and funny. (See Dangerfield jokes above) This person is neither.

    Unfunny, untalented comedians = offensive

    Oh I get that see is a comedian. I think her comments are more mean-spirited than Rodney Dangerfield though. RD's jokes were like "yo momma" jokes. This chick is hitting a nerve IMO. The reaction vids are the funniest thing. I didn't know who she was before this "controversy". She knows the internet.

    Why are there people who are so personally offended when someone is overweight?

    Airplanes are pretty horrible when next to an overweight individual who asks for an extender.


    I guess I should have earned more so I can fly business class everywhere and not just international.

    I'm kind of fat. Not very fat, but kind of. But I can still run a sub-7 minute mile. I'll bet you that she can't. So go ahead and try to run from be, b****. My fat ass will still catch you.

    It's fine to make fun of touchy subjects (race, rape, abortion, religion, etc. etc.) as long as you're funny. This doesn't meet that criteria, IMO.

    That said, I don't disagree (or care about this person's opinion).

    EDIT: Also, I'm not saying obesity is or should be treated as such a hot button subject as some of the examples above.

    I dont know if its people genuinely offended personally by fat people more than it is people genuinely disgusted by overly obese people. I would consider myself in the boat of disgusted as well, but its not so much their weight than its their hygiene. In most cases, theyre generally not going to care about the stains on their shirt and the smell they carry around and thats what gets me.

    This girl is super annoying and comes off like shes trying too hard to make the jokes happen. Shes trying to be the original youtube queen of no ****s given, Jenny Marbles, and its just not working for her.

    Let's hear a funny rape joke.

    Pull that off and you truly are a funny mf. There's absolutely nothing funny about it.
