Speaking as the least attractive fat guy in most rooms, I can say the snickering isn't that bad. Its the well wishing green peacers who throw buckets of water on me at the beach and yell "Help me keep him wet until me can get him back out to open sea!" that are really bothersome.
I see you neither confirmed nor denied this is your background photo...

Very clever HM..... Very clever.

You caught me. I'm hittin' that! When we make love, we look like a couple of beach balls wrestling for dominance.

I'm just glad you found someone uglier than yourself to snag on. It's important for a healthy self-image.

Thanks! Even better for you self image is mocking and belittling your kids. I know mine love it and I feel better afterwards.
We've sorely lacked an etiquette/political correctness policeman so you'll fit right in! Welcome to the board!

It's the apparent lack of comedy that's perplexing considering your title. Perhaps also, a request for someone more skilled in Photoshop is in order as well, I will not be submitting my resume for that one, but the need is clearly dire from your example.
I like having fun and cutting up, but I also think it's crappy to rip on people for their looks. Going forward I will simply avoid the topics, but I felt it was important (if only for myself) to put myself on the map on this topic. It's interesting because I recently ran into a similar issue on another forum where someone posted a pic of of a we'll say "nonconformist" looking woman smoking a pipe, and various disparaging comments were made. I posted something similar to what I posted here and also stated that maybe the pipe smoking community wasn't big enough that people should be mocking other pipe smokers and potentially turning them off to the group. Sure enough someone who knew that woman and was a member posted and took offense.
Clearly, the likelihood of that happening in this case is beyond miniscule, but it's one thing to say, "Hey I can laugh at myself." and another to say "Hey let's laugh at others." It's the same reason I hate that "People of Walmart" garbage. (That and a deep seated fear that I may turn up there myself)
So, sorry for dragging the thread down. I'll try not to let it happen again. Have a great weekend!

baronsmedi, You owe me a new pipe now! The one I was smoking shot from my mouth upon sight of that and shattered on the wall some 20 feet away.

I don't dig on people for looks, infirmities, and anything that is likely beyond their control.
I don't dig on people for who they choose to be in love with, because as Kenny Rogers sings, "there is someone for everyone".
I am rarely the ugliest SOB in a room, but I am just as rarely the best looking.
I am, however, one of the most judgmental people you ever want to meet. Comes from my line of work, right or wrong.
Because life is hard at times, but it is frequently excruciating to those who are stupid.

I agree with you to an extent, kabong30. IF the first picture were one of someone who wash unaware of it existence, I'd be inclined to agree with you. Let's not laugh at this person. But SINCE someone took the picture and she was aware that the picture was being taken, she has to realize that it isn't impossible that it will make its way around the internet. People of Walmart, sure, I don't find it amusing either. More like sad. But anything else, it's fair game. [/rant]
Just my $.02... YMMV.
