Meet The Wit Who Wrote About "Fat Chicks" At Johns Hopkins
LatestGreg Sgammato wrote a piece mocking “fat chicks” (or, in his words, “elephants” and “wildebeests”) for the Johns Hopkins News-Letter. Now you can see the face of this witty social critic — and his News-Letter partner in crime.
Sgammato’s “observations” — “While seeing a hot chick in only her underwear is undoubtedly a treat, seeing a blimp without the welcome shield of clothing is a much worse fate for everyone at the party” — have already prompted a kinda-sorta apology from the News-Letter. See, Sgammato’s critique of “fat chicks” for wearing skimpy clothes/going to parties/drinking/existing was satire, even though it wasn’t funny, and, as Hortense pointed out, it “isn’t too far off from the type of nasty comments that women are faced with regularly in society.” For those of us who don’t go to Hopkins, Sgammato has been just another obscure source of such comments, named but not known. But now we’ve decided to post the pictures a tipster sent to us, so you can put a face to Sgammato’s name — and to his misogynist brand of humor.
