Fat camp attacks!

I found an article, thanks to www.tounguetied.us and it read like this:
"Leaders of eating disorder support groups are hopping mad at actress Kirstie Alley for joking about "life-threatening diseases" like bulimia on her new comedy show Fat Actress.
Officials at America's National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) say the actress is trivializing binge-eating disorders in her new program. In one scene, which has upset NEDA's chiefs, co-star Kelly Preston tells Alley's character, which is loosely based on herself, that making herself sick after every meal is one way of losing weight.
“There is nothing funny about eating disorders, and to make comedic references to anorexia, bulimia or binge-eating disorder is dangerous,” said NEDA’s Chief Executive Officer, Lynn Grefe."

Now I just have one thing to say, lighten up! Come on! Whatever happened to freedom of speech? The first amendment? Where's that? Oh yes, I must've forgotten that long overlooked part in the 1st amendment when it said: "you can only say what you want if it's politically correct" I mean seriously, she's making a comedy show, surely you have something better to worry about than how people may be offended by how fat people are portrayed. And another thing, how is being fat a disease? Nothing takes over your body and FORCES you to eat that last double cheeseburger, it's not a disease, now I'm not sure about the specifics of bulimia and stuff like that so i won't go into it. But this is silly, obesity? Why not have a laugh over it? I think these people are blowing it WAY out of proportion, I mean, who cares? If you're offended, don't watch it, boycott it, that's the American way, if you don't like it, don't support it. Now they have a right to think it's offensive, but if they start suing because this is "insensitive" or something, then they've crossed the line, the point here is that there's never going to be a utopia, people are always going to be offended and you people should just get over it.
