Within the space of half an hour, I hear out of the mouth of an actress that weighs easily 300 pounds the following three statements, and had the accompanying thoughts:

As the chair bent, "Oooh, this chair has a problem"  - my thought (Yeah, it’s problem is it wasn’t built to hold 3 people instead of one, or your oversized ass!)

As she stood at the top of the stage stairs and another actor was supposed to descend, "The stairs are too narrow for him to get by" - my thought, obviously (It’s not the narrow stairs, it’s the oversized obstruction!)

and lastly, "Thanks for helping me up, I have a bad knee" - my thought (Your knee is fine, you’re just asking it to do far more work than any human knee is built to do)

Now, could I have said any of those things, out loud, to a woman, in response to her ridiculous statements?  Of course not!  But when, in coversation, I mentioned something to do with genetic structure determining muscular shape and potential, she said out loud, "I’m a littlle concerned that you even know that!"   WHAT??????  And one of the other actors who is near my age constantly accuses me of working out too much, or getting too big, or being full of testosterone, or whatever completely inane sh** comes to his mind.  And he even says it when we’re BOTH AT THE GYM!!!

So, here’s the question.  when did it become okay to ridicule someone who’s doing everything they can to stave off age, look good, be fit and strong and healthy, but taboo to tell some fat-ass what a drain and obstruction she is to society or some pre-maturely aging co-worker that maybe if HE worked as hard he’d live longer and not look like a 60 year-old has-been rocker when he’s only in his mid-40’s???  What the hell kind of skewed-ass double standard is THAT??????
