Fatty Rally —

As previously mentioned, we are trying to figure out a way to save “Huge.”

The initial plan was based on the “Jericho” nuts protest that succeeded in producing a second season: we send boxes of S’nalt to ABC Family and hope the news networks find it intriguing enough to raise the awareness of it.

There were major problems with this plan, primarily logistics. Who would mail the boxes of S’nalt? Who would pay for it? How do we get the media to notice? And, most importantly, how do we not attract the attention of the FBI for shipping white powder to people?

But last night I had an epiphany on my way to Arby’s.

Why mail packages of S’nalt and cross our fingers? Why not bring the S’nalt to ABC ourselves and deliver our message in person… around the country.

That’s right: I’m calling for a nationwide S’nalt Party outside the ABC affiliate of your town. A website is currently under construction to organize people, as well as to share your feelings about “Huge.” This will not be a protest, it will be a celebration of all that “Huge” is and all that it should be.

We will be asking for a second season, but we have to realistically expect that the expense of producing “Huge” outweighs our desire for resolution. If that is the case, then let us mourn the loss of “Huge” with style, passion, and the hopes that there will be another show that touches our lives the way that “Huge” did.

Let the S’nalt Party send a message to Hollywood and to America that we will no longer be ignore; we will no longer accept defeat and disdain; we will no longer accept the weight-based caste system that relegates fat people to meek submission. We have seen what diversity on television looks like and we want more.

No cancellation without representation!

Each city will have it’s own flavor, it’s own way of celebrating “Huge.” Bring music, bring snacks, bring placards, bring friends, bring family, bring love, bring joy, bring hope, and, most important of all, bring S’nalt!!!

We’ll have more instructions on making S’nalt once the website is up and running, but let me show you what I have in mind. Below, we have a picture of “Huge” co-creator Savannah Dooley snuggling up to a can of S’nalt.

And now, here is the recreated wrapper for S’nalt.

I will create versions for individual salt shakers and boxes of salt. You buy the salt, print the wrappers and VOILÀ! instant S’nalt. We can hand them out to passers-by, along with fliers which will explain the S’nalt Party.

And the promise of fatties on parade will guarantee media exposure around the country. This will be an opportunity to not only share our passion for “Huge,” but to explain Fat Acceptance and the woeful state of fatties in the media.

One thing I need up front are volunteers to act as points of contact for their cities. If you would like to be this point of contact, please email us at fiercefatties@hotmail.com. I’ve got St. Louis covered. What about your city?

To keep apprised of developments, join our group on Facebook.

So what do you think? Are you ready to rally for “Huge”? Fatties love to party and this gives us a reason to celebrate what “Huge” has accomplished. Are you in?
