If you thought YouTube comedian Nicole Arbour would feel bad about her controversial “Dear Fat People” video, try again.

She was introduced by Whoopi Goldberg, who shut her down out of the gate as Arbour tried to make fun of herself by saying she’s the most offended by her streaked hot pink hair in the video. Like, I know that I look like side chick Barbie. “They can make fun of everything and I would rather be the guy who’s in “Entourage” … than be topless girl No. 3″.
You sort of hide behind this, ‘Well, it’s not healthy.’ That’s bull, and you know it. You don’t care about their health.
Arbour got a serious grilling from “The View” hosts Wednesday.
It was then that View co-host Joy Behar chimed in, explaining the reason behind the backlash.
Ms Arbour was asked if she expected to offend people when she released the video.
Considering she’s a comedian, however, the most important thing in this appearance and in her original video is this: she simply is not amusing .
“The thing is I have a lot of fans and I’m doing a different style of comedy …”
“That video was made to offend people, just the way I do with all my other videos”, Arbour said.
In fact, one might say her genes have been extremely kind to the physically attractive Arbour. She believes this video in particular took off because it is “a group that wanted to be immune to satire”.
“I’m a comic so if I’m going to make a joke about a fat person, I’m going to say I’m fat first”.

“Watching you say it, it’s like borderline bullying”, she added, and the audience clapped enthusiastically.
