Politically Incorrect

A few days ago, we were in the grocery store browsing in the clothing section. We never get anything, but it's fun to look around. When passing by the underwear section, I saw something that made me laugh. There were packages of underwear of various sizes. There aren't many overweight people here so finding larger sizes isn't common. Well some company decided to market to plus size women. Right on the package with a size of 4x it said, "For Fat Women." I laughed out loud and had to show George. That would NEVER be on clothing in the US where we are concerned about being politically correct and not offending anyone. Here, that is not an issue where size is concerned. Being politically correct isn't part of the culture. When referring to someone's size, it's simply an observation and not an insult. Being larger myself, it's something I have had to accept and get used to. And the funny thing is that even though it says 4x, it probably is comparable to an XL in the US. Their large sizes aren't very big. I just thought the packaging was really funny. This culture is blunt and to the point which is even reflected in underwear packaging!
