When you’re fat, a whole different element comes into play when you make a parody video. That element is: are you making social commentary, or do you just like cookies? As a fat guy, I myself run into this problem often — see, your weight makes a statement whether you want it to or not. Here, this fat drag queen-looking fellow is portraying Miley Cyrus in her “We Can’t Stop” music video. He does a damn good job and imitates the video well. So well, in fact, that I can’t tell if he’s making a serious homage that comes across as ridiculous because he is overweight or if he is mocking the video but the humor gets lost because he’s a fat guy. I’m not sure if I’m laughing at this video or with it, I guess is what I am saying. He could be serious — and then it’s tragic; but if he’s joking, it’s hilarious.
I hope I’m laughing with him, but if I’m not, well, let’s just say that I’m still laughing. Fat people can be cruel too.

I choose to believe that it is pithy commentary instead of a sad case — but then, discerning between the two has long been an issue of the internet. […]
