Average Joe
Hi Friends,
I am not a fan of reality television (so you must ask, How can Lisa
Robbins be one of your best friends - ha ha ha ha). Anyway, it was
brought to my attention recently that on the reality program Average
Joe that the lovely bachelorette deselected a contestant because he
was insensitive about obesity. I say "YOU GO GIRL!" As vocal as I
am about negative media attention regarding surgical weight loss, I
would like to be equally as vocal about positive media attention.
Average Joe is an NBC program. I pulled up their website but there
was no contact information. I guess I will have to contact the local
NBC affiliate to get contact information to write a letter. If
anyone knows how to directly contact the producers/directors/etc. of
Average Joe please let me know so I can send them our kindest
regards. Those of you who are advocates - please send a letter in
support of the television show regarding the way they portrayed
obesity. It had nothing to do with obesity surgery - just being
sensitive about being obese.
Oh yeah, and I tend to get wrapped up in things and forget to give
you updates on past topics. In case I forgot to tell
you......Remember the Ms. Fatso article in Birmingham Weekly where I
demanded an apology on the 2nd or 3rd page?? Well, they not only
apologized but they printed my whole letter. Hopefully if just one
person is helped from this then we have made a difference.
Love to all,
Rona
Your Bari-Godmother
