Silverman Will Never Joke About Obese Women
By WENNWednesday, April 21, 2010
Comedienne SARAH SILVERMAN has vowed never to joke about fat women - because she thinks they receive enough criticism.
The star uses her shows to poke fun at people - but overweight ladies are off-limits to the funnywoman.
She tells Larry King, “I guess if there is anything I wouldn’t talk about… fat jokes about women.
“That always bums me out because I feel like we live in a country where fat women - at least in white America - don’t deserve love. And I don’t think that’s true for men. You see every sitcom star is like a fat guy with some gorgeous wife.
“But we live in a country that really feels that way. And that just makes me sad to make a joke of it or to make light of it. It tends to be more mean-spirited.”
