I also don't watch anything with Tim Allen for the same reason. He is a mean man, and most of the jokes he tells are at the expense of fluffy people. I have heard him do it even in movies! :thumbdown:

He makes it seem that all of us that have weight problems are gluttons and/or lazy :hunf:

FYI Jay Leno has wet wipes in his pocket to wipe away gems from shaking hands with audience Some people actually have colds, sore throats, gem carriers so for safety precautions he keeps hands in pocket to hide solution on wet wipes
As far as overweight making fun of well I never what a nerve
I am a bit overweight myself and actually I hate it and try to do something but my willpower is shot So making fun maybe a clue to do something about it lol
