Fat Kid Successfully Avoids Ridicule By Swimming With Shirt On
This puff piece from the Onion News Network may be my favorite yet - not only because it so subversively cages its mean spirit in positivity, or because it is so convincingly-produced, but because they interview the Fat Kid (whose name is Brian Peete), and he is a star… a bright, shining, good-natured and pendulous-breasted star. I haven’t felt so much for a Fat Kid since Stand By Me’s Lardass Hogan in 1986.
I’m just glad no one tripped me. When I was at the pool, no one tried to throw my towel into the water, anything like that.
