Chubby-Sized and Charming
June 19th, 2008 by Jeff Simmermon
Folks with extra weight on them have always had it rough. Whether they were called “husky,” “stocky,” or today’s “33 percent of the population,” everyone knew the truth behind the euphemism. A little respect, no matter how flimsy and transparent, is better than this old ad:
I love how they kindly tell concerned parents that “everything is priced the same as regular sizes,” because, you know, they’re using SO much extra cloth to make these darling little mini-tents.

I’ve never felt so bad to be a size 10

oh god! HA! At least it’s honest, I guess. When I was a kid, JC Penney called me “extra special”. And everyone knew what THAT meant.
