[Yes, I watch a lot of television these days.]
This is old at this point, and I've seen it before, but I threw it on to occupy my attention while I was eating breakfast, and hit this quote again.
"Who would you rather see in wet clothes: girls or fat boys?"
Fuck you. On many, many levels, I find this appalling. To name just a few:
They're not pulling off their shirts and jumping into the pool to give you a good show, they're doing so because they'll find it fun to do so.
By saying this, you're supporting the idea that women should do things like this in order to give other people a show. That is, you're encouraging the cultural objectification of female bodies.
By saying this, you support the idea that male bodies are something to be ashamed of, never to be displayed in public.
By saying this, you support the idea that fat bodies are something to be ashamed of, never to be displayed in public.
I'm sure other people have already discussed this to death, as it was months ago, but it bugged me today and I wanted to take a minute to rant. Not that this is the only incredibly inappropriate moment even in that one episode ["Purty" comes to mind. Seriously? You can't be bothered to learn her name?]
