Fuck You Maura Kelly And Fuck You Marie Claire!
Marie Claire blogger Maura Kelly recently went on hate filled tirade against fat and overweight people in her blog titled “Should “Fatties” Get a Room? (Even on TV?)“
Take a good look at her folks. That is the face of hatred and self-loathing you’re looking at. Maura confesses in the half-assed apology tagged to the end of her original hate inspired speech, that she is an anorexic and that her own eating disorder and body issues were possibly to blame for all the mean things she said about fat people in her blog. To top it off, Marie Claire had the audacity to actually push this thing live on their site and plaster their name across the top of this hate filled message.
This is the face of a woman with an eating disorder. An aging anorexic dating-blogger who, in a desperate attempt to get hits, and somehow seem relevant to society, perpetrated what amounts to a public hate crime against the morbidly obese and over weight people of America. Which means pretty much all of us.
I’ll let Maura tell you what she thinks of you in her own words. In this quote Maura’s talking about the TV show Mike and Molly where two “fatties” (Maura’s word, not mine) fall in love in an Over Eaters Anonymous meeting.
“So anyway, yes, I think I’d be grossed out if I had to watch two characters with rolls and rolls of fat kissing each other … because I’d be grossed out if I had to watch them doing anything. To be brutally honest, even in real life, I find it aesthetically displeasing to watch a very, very fat person simply walk across a room — just like I’d find it distressing if I saw a very drunk person stumbling across a bar or a heroine addict slumping in a chair.” (Note spelling of heroin.)
In typical know-nothing fashion she wrapped things up with, “I think obesity is something that most people have a ton of control over. It’s something they can change, if only they put their minds to it.”
This is a woman who spends her time coming up with articles like, “5 Ways To Feel Hot At Any Age” and “The 30 Year Old Orgasm Virgin.”
Maura Kelly even went to Dartmouth and majored in Psychology.
An Ivy League education doesn’t buy you compassion I guess.

In high school, (a while before I myself, got fat), my boyfriend saw an obese man from our streetcar window. All the way to our stop, he spewed out this crazy, hateful speech about how he wished fat people would be locked away so he wouldn’t have to look at them. I was shocked and demanded an explanation. Turned out his dad was obese and he was afraid he would become a “fat capitalist pig” too, which seemed very unlikely as he was this skinny punk kid. We broke up soon after.
Seems people are so afraid of gaining weight that they don’t want to even look at it. They will “defend” themselves from fat at all cost. Even at the cost of their own humanity. Like the fear of getting old. People don’t want to see those that remind them of it.
Last I heard of that boyfriend, he was a very successful chef and, guess what? He’s fat, rich and married with kids. Ah, life. -

Seriously, anyone who doesn’t boycott Marie Claire is a loser. This is a HATE CRIME. If someone came up to you on the street and said the shit that Maura said in her article to your face, you could press charges. HATE CRIME.
