This is supposed to be funny?
This was today’s Brevity comic. Usually I find this comic to be amusing but today I thought it was just offensive. Am I supposed to expect that because he is fat he wants the whipped cream? Is this meant to be funny because we could think, “oh he’s fat he shouldn’t have it but he wants it?”
Honestly, a fat guy being asked if he wants whipped cream…is that the joke there? So a skinny guy being asked the same question wouldn’t be funny?
This just really annoys me. Fat people are stereotyped as being gluttonous, lazy, and eating nothing but junk food. If I were asked the question I’d say no, I don’t want whipped cream. Not because it’s unhealthy but because whipped cream makes me sick, and because I don’t particularly like the taste.
Let’s not make jokes about fat people and their eating habits. You, Mr Skinnypants don’t know jack shit about anyone’s eating habits but your own. What people eat is none of your business, so just STFU.
What also bothers me is that the guy is telling the “barista” to make a judgement based on his weight. “what do you think” implies that he should look at how big someone is and decide for them wether or not they should get WC.
“What do I think?” I find both comic and whipped cream distasteful.
