this ain't livin': Fatty McFatty FAT!:
The way we think about fat in pop culture translates to the way we see it in the media. Fat characters are defined solely by their fat, and thus, when we see reports about fat and fat issues, they almost always feature the ubiquitous headless fatty. Why would you need to see a person’s face? The body, the fat body, the terrifying jiggling rolling smelly spongy soft squishy fat body, that is the topic of discussion. We are not talking about human beings but about an entity, FAT. People seem shocked by the idea that fat folks might resent only being depicted as amorphous headless figures.
