Holy shit there's a lot of angry fat American people in the comments.

No-one is mocking them being fat. We're mocking America for having such a shit culture and food regulation that lots of people end up with this problem.

It's not funny to mock a specific hungry kid, but you can make jokes about famine.

You shouldn't trigger someone's personal traumas of rape, but comedians can joke about sexual assault.

I think blurring their faces would've made this less a joke and more shaming. So idk what the issue is.
