(shock sarcasm). Now, I only saw the first episode so I can’t judge the series really but I know that I did not hate it as much as I thought I would w/regards to how they treated the overweight issue. Yes, the made lots of fat jokes and I am tired of shows/movies feeling the need to point out when someone is overweight via self-deprecating humor, etc. Nevertheless it was nice to see a show that had intimacy b/w two characters that were not Hollywood’s traditional definition of beautiful (although I think Melissa McCarthy is gorgeous but whatever).

Marie Claire disgusts me. I think Mike & Molly and Huge could bring about a lot of interesting, important conversation about the depiction of weight issues in Hollywood but sadly Marie Claire went for the simplest possible angle. CNN did a nice job of trying to tackle this issue in their article but it’s something that should be discussed at length WITH RESPECT to all types of people.
