FAT EDDIE MURPHY LOOKALIKES OK WITH PRO-FAT GROUP

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- If you're an overweight black guy who looks like Eddie Murphy's "Nutty Professor" character, Universal Studios would like to hear from you. This Saturday (May 20), Universal is holding auditions for fat black actors who can greet tourists dressed as Sherman Klump from "The Nutty Professor" -- and one pro-fat group thinks it's a great idea. The National Association for the Advancement of Fat Acceptance is praising the studio for choosing obese actors instead of hiring skinny folks wearing latex fat suits. Spokeswoman Betty Travis says "The Nutty Professor" character is so likeable, it can only help the fat lifestyle.
