How is that even a thing?

In an article on Yahoo! News about the escalation of mockery on American Idol (and let's not mince words--the only parts of this show worth watching are the parts which contain mockery), I came across this gem of a quote:

However, when it comes to the show's bluntness about contestants, heavy or otherwise, that's simply reality, said Peggy Howell, spokeswoman for the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance.

National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance? What? Do you have to be fat to work there? Seriously, with the obesity rates like they are, do you really think anyone has a problem accepting fat people?

I'm going to start some other completely unnecessary society, like the National Coalition for the Unrestricted Cultivation of Mustachios.
