it's pernicious to forget that "BBW" is just a nice way of saying "fat", and it's sheer folly when a fat person begins to believe her own press-releases -- "I'm not fat, I'm a 'Big Beautiful Woman'." It completely crosses the line when a fat person takes offense at being objectively called fat, and insist on the usage of "BBW"

But the people who insist that others should not call them fat - doesn't that smack of a load of guilt regarding their condition being externalized and thrust upon the rest of us?

What people are you talking about? That's a fine theory and all, but other than ortho's vague reference to Craigs List personals, there's been no examples of the reality of this bit of PC dogma.

Actually ortho's ability to post attacks like... [more]

RJ Reynolds ... Are you looking to confirm its existence or do you need a good pic of it for some other reason? There were lots of "Worst President Ever" signs, they were of the professionally printed persuasion, white letters on black with a portrait of Der Fuehrer above the words. If the photo I took of one came out, I'll email a link.

On topic: bushblackout wasn't very well publicized or organized, but I thought it was an interesting idea and similar actions to raise awareness on (generally less controversial) issues seemed to be well received among bloggers. So, I bought a MeFi textad for it, though I am in no way affiliated with the site. It's had 27 clickthrus in 1,354 views...I know little about internet ads, I'm not sure what a 2% clickthru rate says MeFi's interest.

psmealey, i think you might be surprised by turnyourbackonbush. i really believe it has a chance of being effective. even if only 1 out of 100 parade-goers turns around, it will be something that's demonstrable and reportable. there will be 100,000 people protesting Bush Jan20 in DC, but the rove propaganda machine will easily ignore them. the people who have turned their backs in every photo will not be so easy to dismiss.
