you've got to be kidding me

I just got an email addressed to me to my bigmoves.org address from a TV producer "inviting" Big Moves to "help promote the casting" of a "new weight loss reality show to be aired on a major network" because "it is clear we both have the same goal which is to help people with weight loss."

What. The. Fuck.

No really.

What. The. Fuck.

There is nothing, and I mean nothing, on our web site or in our promo materials that markets us as weight loss crusaders. We are a fat-positive, health at every size organization. Apparently, the fact that we are a dance organization with fat people involved must mean that we all want to lose weight, or the reason we exist is so we will lose weight. Urgh. Gross.

I am going to contrust a more detailed response than "Fuck you, you brainless, soul-less exploiter of people for television ratings and adverstising dollars", explaing what Big Moves is really about, etc. But damn if I am not tempted to really rip her a new one.

It is bad enough that travesty "Wife Swap" has approached us twice to try to find "plus-sized families" for them to exploit cast and that some news show on ABC wanted to come film us for a piece of the seven deadly sins (yeah, guess which segment we were going to be in?), but this takes the cake. No pun intended.
