Disney closes anti-obesity exhibit because of negative perception

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Shortly after its unofficial opening last month, the interactive Habit Heroes exhibit was blasted by critics for stigmatizing fat kids. Now, Disney has closed the Innoventions exhibit for "retooling." One organization says it falls under "the shadow of negativity and discrimination."

Are you sure he forgot to mention heterosexual?

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

No, I was asking Phillip if he was sure that LK 'forgot' to mention heterosexual. He seems to think that just because he wants to be at the beach with a woman that everyone else does too. I don't think he realizes how many non heterosexuals there are in the coaster community. Perhaps another reason why he didn't click with everyone at the event he went to.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

I learned something today: A homophobic person who loves parades will probably not make new friends at a gay pride parade.

From now on I'll try really hard to not directly feed trolls.

Time to do something different and enjoy a day at the beach, (with a WOMAN I found at the amusement park).

Was she still fully inflated when you found her?

^In order to fully inflate, you really have to blow hard...

+1 Invy.

The amusement park rises bold and stark..kids are huddled on the beach in a mist

I like parades of gay people and I'm not gay. If you haven't seen a Fantasy Fest parade in Key West then you haven't lived.

CoasterBuzz doesn't count because there isn't a buffet with fat people attacking it.

Just her butt and her boobs. You know, the places that count. Oops! I guess that doesn't count around here.
