Give the fat chic a break, she was working out!

2008.07.29

The NY Post ran a story today about a woman who was thrown from an exercise machine while working out at a gym in Harlem. After being thrown from the machine, she became pinned between some exercise equipment where she was later rescued. The article refers to her as “very large.” It also emphasises the fact that because of her size, she had to be rescued using a rescue basket, instead of a convention stretcher.

Is it because the story is funnier, knowing that the victim was a bit chubby? Or is it because TOM LIDDY, PILAR CONCI and JAMIE SCHRAM, the authors, are all slobs themselves, and it makes them feel better to point the finger at someone who has a more severe weight problem? I’m not sure. But at least the poor lady was trying to do something about her condition. Give her a little credit, man!
