LOL Thanks.  There are billboards like this all over ND, some anonymous person paid to have them everywhere.  They say Be Polite, Smile, Be Courteous, Be Grateful, etc.

[QUOTE]Speaking of muffin tops... has anyone seen that informercial for the piece of fabric you wear around your waist to hide skin when you bend over? It's $19.99! And hilarious. Just buy a longer shirt or wear paints that fit.

Yeah. I was absolutely speechless. I know there are ignorant people in the world, but this was beyond me. And this woman made the comment because the guy working here said that there was no fruit at the pool bar for snacks, just stuff for blending drinks and for garnishes. Wtf! We're at an allinclusive resort. She could have walked her ignorant ass 50ft to get her own fruit. Ugh.

This weeks it's blouse/cardigan sets so small that there is a good ring of flesh between shirt and pants. Everyone else can dress professionally... what's your deal?

WTF?!  She admitted this during a staff meeting, and her supervisor and our executive director both LAUGHED and moved on. </div>

Holy ishballs, I hardcore judge anyone who felt "betrayed" by the HG movie because they realized Rue was black.  There are tons of people that are being all racist because they fell in love with her character in the book and didn't realize she was black, even though the book says she was "dark skinned".  One person apparently even complained that they cried for her in the book when she died and feels ashamed she did so now that they realized she's black... O_O

SEWF, I have so many judges from when I worked at the zoo. People check their common sense at the front gate. Feeding the giraffes Skittles, going behind the "authorized personnel only" gate to press themselves up against the bear fence, letting their kids throw toys in to the bonobos. I thought I hated people before working at the zoo, but no, working there made it worse.

Maybe it's good that our office has a really strict dress code, I haven't seen any of that.

There is one lady who wears a bib at lunch, she's interesting.

I saw this yesterday! Those people are morons. And racists. I don't get why the color of her skin has anything to do with the emotions they felt for her in the book or movie. All of the people who felt 'betrayed' should probably just DIAF.

Going along with my train theme:

I judge a woman on my train who literally seems to RACE me everytime I go to get on.  She jumps in her seat and then proceeds to look at me all smugly.  Dude, I didn't want that seat, good for you for looking like a fool.  

I also judge people having very personal conversations on the train.  I swear, I know more about the "strangers" on the train then I do my own stinkin' family half the time.

Seriously!
And if you really need an extra band to fabric to cover your stomach/muffin top/whatever, you are buying the wrong size.

[Deleted User]

I always thought Rue was black so I was surprised that people were so shocked by it. And even more surprised by the backlash. People suck.

People also felt "betrayed" that Katniss' hair was dark brown rather than black and her skin wasn't "olive toned." FFs, people. You weren't betrayed. No one owed you jack shiit to begin with. Get over yourself.

I think people get in denial about what size they are.  For real.  I have a friend who refuses to buy clothes that fit her because she thinks it will help her lose weight so they fit her better.  Well, it's not working for her.

I was bridesmaid dress shopping with her a few months ago and she's always making comments about my weight.  I told the consultant that she'd need to put me down for a size 8 or a 10.  My friend is like "Oh whatever.  You're like, a 4."  Um.  Okay.  Well, I prefer to buy something I know will fit, but thanks for that...

[QUOTE]Yesterday, when I first heard about the racial Hunger Games stuff, when I just read the headline that people were upset about racial casting in it, my first thought was that people were going to feel that having the African American district be the only ones shown rioting was a problem. Then when I read what stupid ignorant people were saying I wanted to beat them up. (Not really) Even if the book hadn't described her as dark-skinned, really?

lbarr, just be glad you don't live in Japan. Apparently in some places during rush hour, there are people who are actually employed to push people onto the train to make them fit.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0A9-oUoMug

I always pictured Rue as a little black girl, but not Thresh.  I havent seen it yet, but the actor playing Thresh is built exactly like I pictured him, so I didnt even think twice that he was black.  He is a pretty intense actor and from his pics, his face is real intense.  I thought he was perfect when I saw the pics.

Totally agree, and nope that does not work. I've done the research! :)

On the HG stuff, I read about that yesterday and man that is fuucked up. That plus the story about the neighborhood watch man who shot the young kid in Florida was me troubled.

I judge the fact that Michelle crazy cakes Bachman is involved in the healthcare protests right now.  I hate when she is connected to something I agree with, because she just takes things to a whole different off the walls bonkers level.
