Prudence, you are some piece of work. There's a big difference between saying you're the only one offering up the opposing point of view (which I specifically said was ok for a message board - jeebus, that's the essence of discussion!) and saying it's all your fault.
Your arguments are valid, your points are persuasive ... but please get off the pity train and stop taking everything so personally negative.

Euro -- I am not one who ever claimed, in this thread or elsewhere, that I don't find fat unattractive. I do indeed find it physically unattractive. It's simply not the factor on which I base my relationships. The people I'm friends and lovers with have 6,322 other factors of attraction - - some negative and most of them positive.
And for the record, I don't equate fat with ugly. I simply equate fat with not as physically attractive as possible. At least fat can, in most cases, be changed. There are plenty of other physical traits, impossible to alter, that I find unattractive. Any one of those traits are also but 1 in 6,322 that I evaluate in terms of friendship. And yes, the physical attraction traits take on more value in establishing a romance, and have practically no value in establishing a friendship.

And I do see the Disneyland CMs as more like stage dressing than characters. But extras are cast with requirements, just as are stars. Being that CMs have speaking parts, their roles - as I see it - fall somewhere between extras and stars (perhaps Cameo would be the best analogy). A detailed back-story or method-acting motivation would not be necessary (though I would not be surprised if many CMs came up with that stuff on their own).
