Linda, you have truly mastered the art and or science of "click bait"! After reading your challenge to not "click", I couldn't wait to read your dissertation.

As to your comments, I think we have to excuse some people's feeble attempts at humor. Humor can be a very effective and inoffensive way to help folk to remove the filter when looking at themselves in the mirror. To see ourselves the way others see us can often be revealing and liberating, especially when we can do so with smiles on our faces.

However, there is never an excuse for prejudice, hate or loathing, especially when they are veiled as humor.
