Wall-E Angers Fat People

I thought I’d never see the day that a Pixar family animation would cause controversy, however it seems today is that day.

WALL-E has garnered rave reviews for its satire on consumer culture, in which future humans are depicted as a group of obese gluttons who never leave their padded floating arm chairs.

But one group is not amused – the swelling ranks of fat pride groups, who believe the film propagates anti-obesity hysteria comparable with the quest for the perfect body by the eugenics movement in Nazi Germany.

The anti WALL-E crusade began on the internet. Rachel Richardson of the Coalition of Fat Rights Activists (Cofra), used her blog, “The F-Word”, to object that the film “singles out and targets obese people as the primary cause of mankind’s demise.”

Dear angry fat people, if you spent as much time exercising as you do getting pissed over a kids film then you would be a healthy and less fat.

That is all.

    I always wondered why people didn't get angry at the Harry Potter books. There's all kinds of fat and ugly hate in those books.

    Wall-E totally looks like the robot from “Short Circuit”… minus the cheesy 80's style of course

    If Cofra spent a second of brain power on actually watching the movie instead of whining at the first sight of an obese character they would know the people, fat or not, are STILL looking back to Earth for life and in the end, the humans try to make things right.. It was the space life that caused problems not originally the obesity. The life in space, the company that owned the ship and it's way of handling the human's environment changed them.

    “you would be a healthy and less fat.”

    If you spent more time thinking before you click post you might not look like an illiterate hick.

    Dear fat people on this page,
    if you would spend as much time exercising as you did flaming about this article, you would still be healthy and less fat.
    That is all.
