Sorry had to get that off my chest.
Yes! I couldn't figure out why this video bugged me a little, but it did. It's a little like a fat person can make a fat joke, and I recognize it as a way of using humor to diffuse the pain and uncomfortableness about discussing the situation. But a skinny person better not make one, or I might just sit on her.
