You're not the ginger spokesman so it's not really reasonable to start dictating what other people are and aren't allowed to get upset over.
3 years ago when I weighed like 250lbs I'd have laughed at the whale thing but [b]not everyone is me[/b] and not everyone is you
I shop exclusively in the shark section.

Yeah but you didn't lose weight by complaining and being a little bitch, you lost weight through actual effort towards your goal. You either get to man up and deal with whats on your plate (which the women in the article is doing, good for her) or complain and eat a bagel.
Also I'm still ginger, if not more so. :v

I complain a lot
I'm doing it now basically
Complaining burns a lot of calories

i wish, i'd probably be unhealthily underweight if this were true
how self-serving to your ego is it to call people little bitches and talk shit about fat people on the internet.
Well i mean whales are big and XXL clothes are big, seems logical for a themed store such as this
this seems like a whale of a problem

And posting on facepunch adds a lot of calories.
[QUOTE=AkujiTheSniper;41622472]A harpoon[/QUOTE]
at least you didn't say harpun because i would have probably jumped off the nearest pier
[editline]28th July 2013[/editline]
wait fuc
If it were just the XL sizes with a different name I could understand, but it's obviously a gimmick with the store, they could have named it sea cow, ya cunt. Shrimp is considered an insult for small people, did she care? nah. Yeah I'm aware shrimp is far less of an insult than whale, but that's only due to fat people giving the reaction bullies are looking for when they say it.
You'd think with how rotund these people are they'd have an easier time rolling stuff like this off their shoulder.

These whalepuns are so Shamusing

Well the article says she brought up both
Reading burns calories too
The real joke in this thread is that facepunch hates fat people, while in reality most facepunchers probably are obese.

i thought the worst had already passed but i underestimated humanity's ability to be so malicious
Some of the quotes used in this article :v:
[QUOTE]“Pretty insensitive, eh? I guess they are trying to be funny and marine-themed,” wrote Joanne Nicholson.[/QUOTE]
Well. Yes. They are. That's the whole idea.
[QUOTE]“How about an anorexic section?” suggested Brian Peterman. “Why do people feel so comfortable pickin’ on people with weight issues?”[/QUOTE]
They have the shrimp-sign, dude.
Really, if it was [I]just[/I] a whale sign for fat people, and then regular L, M, S, XS signs on the rest, I could see the grounds for the butthurt. But they all appear maritime-themed, so it's kinda the logical fuckin' thing to go with from the store's gimmick.

Iunno, I've always seen Facepunchers as scrawny, pimpled kids, not fat neckbeards. That's more Reddit-zone.

This is brilliant
the owner of the store should of gotten a degree in whale biology, that way they can get away with saying anything
