As Bows said, take out the word "fat" and it's just as funny and far less insulting. I think the girl in the foreground would still be embarrassed though. I can agree with that.

A wallet picture would "accidentally" appear when I paid at the store. Anyone asking for ID would be "flashed", anytime I pulled out a credit card, and after that I'd walk out with a slight limp. If it happened to go viral former girlfriends would laugh their asses off and my ex-wives would call asking where that was when they knew me. Absolutely.

Now, what EXACTLY what is offensive? The arm is identified as an arm, there is NO naked body, there is no nipple or genitals showing. Even were it a body, there is more revealed at any sunny beach than is seen there. And it's identified as not being a body. What's offensive? What line has been crossed? What would one have to avoid to protect the sensibilities of those who are offended by that picture? Interesting questions, eh? Neither would bother me. Now, what EXACTLY what is offensive?

Hell, I'd frame it and put it in the living room. If somebody posted a picture where it looked like somebody’s arm was my penis, I’d probably put it on the internet myself.

The penis analogy doesn't work well because it would not be my penis it would be someone's fat or skinny arm or other whatever that would create an illusion. I did think it was hilarious. I did read the caption referring to a fat arm. My state of mind was focused on the illusion and I did not take away a mental picture of a fat person. Having said all that I acknowledge that there are a lot of people that would be hurt by seeing this kind of thing on the internet. I could not post such a thing unless I knew the fat arm person well enough to clear it with her. While I acknowledged that many would be hurt, there are probably many who would be comfortable enough in their own skin to say "It's funny as hell. By all means post it." Frankly, I would not be one of those folks. Still, I laughed out loud at something I did not see as a fat joke targeting a specific person. I don't think this makes me an ass hole, it only serves as a confirmation of old news :) I can agree to a certain extent.
