are they equally bad, one worse than the other, or neither bad, as they are simply using adjectives to describe the person/people in question?

See this is what I hate about North American society and the media today. These are both instances of some individual making a bonehead decision and not thinking through when they're typing something up on the computer. Somehow this makes this APPALLING BEHAVIOUR FOR A PROFESSIONAL COMPANY. I'm not sure what makes a company professional, since I think they all do it for money. But nevertheless, because they hired these people and let them get in front of a computer, they're terrible companies and must FACE CONSEQUENCES.
People are dumb, people are occasionally subconsciously racist or prejudice against fat people, but acting as if either of these instances has any relation to the overall beliefs of the companies they work for is a joke, and making a story out of nothing. Its a lapse in review, shouldn't have happened, but it did. Lets fix it and move on with our lives.
