Hi, Skinner! Could you please give me a little more specific reason about why this was locked?

I see no insensitivity towards any individual or group. It teases ME a little,
but we do a LOT of that in The Lounge.
.
.
.
Nobody I've discussed this with can see ANY reason whatsoever for a locking.
.
.
.
Might it have been locked a little hastily and thus can be reversed and unlocked?
.
.
.
It does show a couple kissing, but it wasn't locked as a "sex thread" and kissing
seems awfully mild for a "sex thread" justification. It's a humorous warning not
to drink too much.

Thank you. It's got a few people baffled.

1. Apparently some members believed it was insensitive to overweight people.

And the moderators agreed.

I can see why people felt that way. But I guess it depends on the point of the joke. Which isn't totally apparent to me.

2. Thanks, Skinner. I CAN'T see why people felt that way.

There is nothing in that picture or caption that says, "Gee,
let's laugh at overweight people who've been drinking and
are now necking."
.
.
.
It seems it will be much safer to make sure that, when making
a humorous comment -- only to post pictures of svelte people.
.
.
.
But now I'm worried that it would be insensitive to svelte people.
.
.
.
This world could be a pretty grim place if we just allow it to be.
.
.
.
The point of the joke was simply a gentle and facetious jab -
"MiddleFingerMom is a dog. Wtch your back... and your girlfriend's
back.
.
.
.
I'm certainly O.K. with that.
.
.
.
Where's this "don't approach this forum with too thin a skin" attitude?
.

Thanks for your time, Skinner.
