Are you overweight?

Tonight on "Inside Editon", distributed by Kingworld, they ran a story on a 900 pound woman named "Renee Williams". I think the story was shameful exploitation of this woman's health problem and I can't believe that America would sink so low as to be entertained by this story. If you agree, please email and\or boycott the following sponsors of this episode of Inside Edition: Soft Scrub, Strivectin, Pantene, Chrysler, Sheryl Crow for Revlon, Swiffer, Golden Corral restaurants, Old Country Buffet restaurants, Pontiac, and Unisom.Are you overweight?
I agree. Lately it seems The Insider has been obsessed with overweight people. The worst, though, was with Jessica, a 9-year old girl. They dragged it out for weeks, showing how big she was at 5 years, 7 years, and then 9 years. The first time I saw it, I was really upset and just wanted to know if the girl was okay. When they showed her for the second week, I emailed The Insider saying that exploiting her was wrong.



The only way stories like this should be shown is in a careful, non-exploiting manner and designed to help people. And yeah, shows that deal with celebrity gossip have no business showing real people in their show.



Oops, I thought you were talking about The Insider! Still, Inside Edition is not much better. It's okay to tell people's stories, but it shouldn't be shown as entertainment.
I need to fix an error. It was "THE INSIDER" not "Inside Edition".

Are you overweight?
why?

they didn't make her fat
Exactly, they didn't make her fat...well except for maybe Golden Corral %26amp; Old Country Buffet restaurants.



But if you want to boycott those, then you'd better start watching the Discovery Channel %26amp; TLC cause they do shows on fat people all the time.Are you overweight?
how am i going to go on, America is so terrible because they told us the story of a 900 lb woman and YOU think its not right. Well, they obviously got legal consent from the woman before they ran the story.
yes i am overweight, but if they paid me enough money i would do a show for them too.
