Fat Wife

My friend, Alina, posted the video above, and following commentary to her tumblr account.  The video is hilarious-- and her commentary is spot on.

"I hear a lot of chatter about how it’s so unreasonable that all these sitcoms star chubby, oaf-like men with incredibly hot wives. It’s usually slanted in the direction of “It places even more undue pressure on women to fit this standard, and it’s ridiculous.”

But something I don’t often hear, something nagging in the back of my mind whenever I happen to watch one of these sitcoms, is how unfair these things are to the real-life men. I think this video, snagged from the Sociological Images blog, illustrates this point perfectly."
