No need to apologize, you obviously weren't the only one here that was overly sensitive....hugs.
 

Thanks for your apology and returning BW, although it doesn't seem necessary to me at all. Sometimes threads get stretched a bit out of shape, all in the name of some excitement in our otherwise boring lives (I speak for myself). It is a good topic and very thought provoking, and with personal image and weight such a stinging hot topic, its not surprising that it stirred up some flurry.

Oh, I get it now ... ANTI Phil ... HA hahahahahahaha ... *burp*

I'm not dark, dangerous and demented - I'm light, loving and ... um ... legal? No, wait ... um ... loquacious.
 
I don't know what is going on at your Walmarts folks, but the Walmart in New Minas, Nova Scotia never has shoppers like those, that I've ever seen!

Personally, I couldn't do more than scan through the first couple rows of photos because I got too embarrassed for those folks. But maybe we should be taking a different perspective and should be just a wee bit impressed by the fact that they don't care what you and I think about how they dress.

I was once in a thrift store and casually looked to the right of me and an older man (probably 65+) was standing there, tall and thin with a long grey beard, and he was wearing ladies heels and a shirt skirt and blouse. And as the weeks and months went by, I happened to notice him elsewhere in town and always dressed as I first saw him. My guess is he was a man who'd long felt he was transgender or simply liked the feel of women's clothes and finally (?) got brave enough to just follow his own heart. For that I give him a great deal of credit because I am not and never have been that courageous. Heck, the only reason I made it through high school unscathed was because I made an absolute art out of blending into the background and remaining invisible.
 
There IS a point though where bravery becomes foolishness. You already knew that in high school. I can't imagine the hassles that man got on a daily basis.
 
There is no proof that the photographs on that site are even from Walmarts. I believe they are a compilation/collection put together by someone who wanted to show some extremes for his own benefit, whatever that was and could easily have been staged or set up with paid models.
 
Since, I've never seen such people in the Walmart's I've frequented, I was curious as I too, so I thought the pictures were staged but apparently they're not. I get no pleasure in making fun of these people, though when I first saw them years ago, I too laughed in disbelief. I'm thinking some obviously have issues to go out in public dressed as they do, but, whatever floats their boat, I imagine, I've made people laugh at something I've worn a time or two or something I've done in general. Anyway, I did read the originators' website and it appears legit anyone interested can find the info on the net if they care to really want it.
 
BW I'm getting on this bus late (just ran across it) but you have no reason to apologize to anyone for anything......sometimes here posts are taken out of context either by accident or on purpose and then the sharks come to feed with each one trying to outdo the other by taking a bigger bite.

I found the pictures amusing which I'm sure is how you meant them to be taken......again, I found the pictures amusing.

Having said that BW we'll now let them feed on me for awhile......there's plenty of me to go around.
 
I go to Walmart occasionally in my eastern province and I have never seen anyone dressed
inappropriately like those pictures!
Most folks are casually and neatly dressed for shopping.
Makes me wonder where those pictures came from.

For the record, my opinion was not to chastise the OP, but just my opinion on what I feel about those pictures and the people, at this point, you are late to the whatever game you feel was played and may be the only one still interested in playing the biting game. Just sayin. :)
