Completely agreed. Also, the restraint and kindness of 99% of the comments I have seen all over the internet about this has been a pleasant surprise.

This “bar” is in Berwyn, not Chicago — which explains why I’ve never heard of it despite living in Chicago for many, many years. Berwyn is ... an interesting place.

It’s not true that only one of his kids spoke in the show — all four of his kids from his first two marriages spoke. Did you not watch the show?

Well, crap, now I totally want this.

wow — amazing.

She’s my badass hero.

I think it's (a) that they are anticipating a punchline that never comes; (b) people are mean and enjoy laughing at cruelty to fat people, especially fat women; and (c) some of it could have been uncomfortable laughter.

It was part of explaining to this asshole that she is a person, that she has suffered adversity, and that his reducing her to her missing arm and weight ignores all of that. And, really, until you've been attacked in this way, I don't think you're in a place to judge how she reacts.

I tried to post a question about this on their FB page, and they aren't permitting posts. I have a feeling they are doing the same with their Twitter account.

That you know of....

There are actually harassment laws that could be used. Not that I really think it will get very far, but it's not totally impossible.

You're making a lot of assumptions about who I am and what I think — starting with the assumption that I'm pissed off about anything other than the fact that this woman is an asshole.

How about asshole? Does that work? Because that was my first reaction to the self-aggrandizing nonsense being spewed by this woman.

Also because Kelly was complicit in that overrated hate-fest for far longer. It was never a good show.

Bullshit. And I have done my research, having fostered 27 dachshunds in the last two years in addition to caring for my own. This is your opinion, not some real fact. Dachshunds who are responsibly bred live long and happy lives. Sneering at the breed and those who love it is just shitty.

Dachshunds were bred to hunt underground. They are not ridiculous, and live long and wonderful lives. Stop being a smug jerk.

Dachshunds RULE.

The Cosby lines were absolute perfection.

I love that Ken is as lovely a person in real life as he seems on the show. Bless him and his wee dogs.

You know, for all the people whining that they would watch this doc but won't because Lena Dunham is involved, first, did you not notice that Hilary Knight expresses very clearly his admiration for this woman? Does that not give you pause about your shitty attitude towards her and your preemptive, sour reaction to
