I have no connection to this writer or to The New York Times, but when I read the complete article it was clear to me that her article's tone was 180 degrees away from the impression you created; not to mention that the "fat and tacky" headline belongs entirely to you. You should be ashamed. Boy, did you guys do a hatchet job on Cintra Wilson's article!!

You may call people obese, but we could just as easily call you a stick. Watch out, theres a crack in the floor, you might slip through. As for us 'fat' people, we don't care what you think about us, because we are more healthy then you, as we actually eat food. Tablets don't count. Pure and simple, she is a bitch.

Ridiculous. I am unable to comment on anything JC-Penney's related as I am not being an American and thus have never been in one of their stores, but I certainly feel there are other ways to critique other than 'they stock for fatties'.

That store opening in Manhattan is further proof that the apocalypse is near. I think she was way too nice to JC Penneys.
