I have a policy never to open a zdnet.com link. I just feel like I'm polluting my browser by doing so.
But I read this one and I must say it was total bullshit (no offense to the submitter of course). She said an offending thing about that woman, was incorrectly corrected by some Apple-loving bloggers and then she attacks them for being intentionally misinforming. It's like 4 year olds fighting.
This is Shawn King's response to this nonsense of an article: http://4ma.me/509/violet-violet-violet.html http://4ma.me/509/violet-violet-violet.html
The author's name ('Violet Blue') is a rather strange name and I immediately remembered where I'd heard it before. Read this funny piece by The Macolope about another great article by Violet Blue (the 'Oh, great' section): http://www.macworld.com/article/164003/2011/12/macalope_debatable.html http://www.macworld.com/article/164003/2011/12/macalope_deba...
- thekevan 15y ago"She said an offending thing about that woman" Did you read the whole article? The woman is the photo sad she wasn't offended and even made herself a Facebook fan page called "Saddest Boothbabe". You sort of seem to be jumping to the conclusions that the author says is the problem.
- ugh 15y agoIt is offending and sexist, though.
- pooriaazimi 15y agoSome fat people don't mind being called 'chubby'. It doesn't make calling them that acceptable. If I'm walking off the street and some random guy calling another random guy 'chubby' and they both laugh, I still get a bad feeling about it. It's like swearing. It might be extremely funny sometimes (specially when Samuel L. Jackson says them!), but still, swearing is bad karma; makes the environment less friendly (my English is not well, and I can't express what I want to say very well).
