Walmart apologizes for 'fat girl' costumes
Sounds like they know their clientele.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/28/living...rsy/index.html

(CNN) -- Walmart found itself sending apology tweet after apology tweet Monday after the Twitterverse raked it over the coals for a major goof on its website.
For whatever inexplicable reason, the retail giant's site featured a Halloween category, titled "Fat Girl Costumes."

You won't find it there now, thank goodness, but it stayed there for a large part of the morning -- and long enough for multiple screen grabs.

The presence of the category was first reported by Jezebel, which in turn was alerted by a reader who stumbled upon it while looking for costumes.

It was basically a collection of costumes that you'd usually find on the site's plus-size women's section.

After Twitter users complained in droves, Wal-Mart took down the section and sent out multiple apology tweets.

@Maaddii_M his never should have been on our site. It is unacceptable, and we apologize. We worked quickly to remove this. -Jes
— Walmart (@Walmart) October 28, 2014

"This never should have been on our site. It is unacceptable, and we apologize. We worked quickly to remove this," the tweets said.

Now, can we please do something about those sexy ebola containment suit costumes?

If the honesty was neutral, I would agree with you. Unfortunately we only shame fat women.

It's idiotic to me that this title doesn't work but they could have called it "plus size costumes" instead and been fine.

Our country sure loves to get upset about stuff these days.

So, the word fat is officially offensive right?


Does it count as a slur of some kind?

... what?

So fat guys don't label their own stuff 'fat' because 'they don't mind being called fat'?

It happens to women because they do mind.

So your point is that it's only done because they know it is more insulting?

O.M.G. I read "Fat Girl Costumes" as costumes that dressed you up as a "fat girl."
But it's about plus-size costumes.

In my limited 33 years of experience fat people don't like being called fat.

Also, ugly people don't like being called ugly.

I'm pretty sure guys with small dicks dont' like being called 'tiny dick' either.
