Big Fat Media Sweep
Check out MoPie’s national television debut on the Mike and Juliet Show! She makes the case for acceptance and less judgment without making grand generalizations (*cough*). Rachel from F-Word also nails the point home, plus, bonus, we get to watch their cute husbands too! Look at the fat girls who are married! That never happens!
Thanks to Petulantrumble for putting this out on Youtube!
I won’t speak for all fat girls everywhere, but I am definitely proud to have Mo speak for the cause! Yay!

Wow. Like everyone else, I am so filled with pride right now. You were awesome, you said awesome things, you looked awesome, Ian’s smiles, claps, waves=awesome. Also, that woman with the long blonde hair was crazy. Yay Mo!
Congratulations. You both were lovely and articulate. :)
Brava to both of you! Here’s the short form:
Juliet: tries to incite teh catfight
Meme: babbles bizarro made-up sounding statistics
Rachel: voice of reason
Mo: voice of reason
Mike: wonders if the men approve? ’cause that’s what *really* counts!
Cute husbands: beaming & waving (and cute!)
Doctor: same old stuff we always hear, sounding like she’s bored with having to repeat it so much
long time lurker…first time poster, here!
i managed to catch this epi yesterday as well….and i have to say a big ol’ “BRAVA” to the both of you! i had to refrain from throwing a lipstick red doc maarten boot at my tv screen when ms. roth decided to wax fantastic on those tired, old stats — including the dreaded BMI stats! anyhow, y’all ROCKED!
hey apophenia: “if the men approve? ’cause that’s what *really* counts!” YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD!
You guys were brilliant!!!! So completely awesome.
Mo, you were AWESOME. I rambled on at Shapely Prose but I will spare you here and just say CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU.
Mo, you were great and you looked fantastic. Cute waving on Ian’s part. It was delightfulful to “see” you both.
YAY!!!!
*Clap* *clap*
Go MO! and Rachel!
You did awesome, looked fabulous, and represented all us girls wonderfully!
That’s me in the blue sweater behind Ian! I thought the show was really kind of lame, but you were awesome and it was great to see you four four seconds afterwards!
Hi, I’m totally new here and I found your blog through the NY Times article (how many times have you heard that by now I wonder!). I will definitely have to start visiting more often, I thought you guys were great on this show, and those other two women just looked like big ignorant fools with their whole buying into the BMI bullshit. As if everyone of the same height should be the same weight to be healthy, regardless of all other health indicators! Even the hosts of this show were smarter than those women, as they at least asked about your cholesteral and such!!
Wow, I check out of the loop for one stinkin’ weeek and I come back to find our Mo Pie is a TV star! You were great, eleoquent, focused, and so was Rachel.
Yay!
MeMe does look and sound like Ann Coulter.
Brava! You did us all proud!
Real men like women with nice soft round curves.
Bones are for dogs!!!
