Too funny, Moe. And yet sad at the same time.

Hollywood does really put the overweight in a certain type of box. We are always the comic relief, never the heroic main character. Kirstie Ally tried with her shows "Veronica's Closet" and "Fat Actress" - but the public just didn't want shows where the obese done good.

I think it is changing a bit with the success of Mike and Molly in terms of sitcoms, although "being fat" is still the main joke. I am looking forward to Rebel Wilson's new sitcom too to see where it goes. But I really want to see a chubby action chic.

I never noticed this before, but it's true. This reminds me of the one overweight character they had on The Walking Dead, the guy that shot Carl. He didn't stand a chance with Shane. Shane might have been limping because he hurt his leg, but the overweight guy was the one slowing them down so Shane used him as a sacrifice.
