Perhaps you need to take a step back and realise that making a joke does not mean misunderstanding an issue. I for one certainly found it amusingly ironic that in an article supposed to be sympathetic to a fat girl had an "Enlarge" button on the picture. Not to mention that the article it's self in fact propagates the image even more.

Also, are you really saying humor has no place on HN? I see nothing in the FAQ about banning humor.
