I don't see anything particularly new or interesting about Norbit so I doubt I will see the movie. As far a the petition, I read it and I found its argument mediocre at best. As Soror SummerChild stated the petition was more about a light skin vs. dark skin issue.
The petition goes on to say something like the villainous woman is fat and dark skinned and Norbit's savior is thin and light skinned with European features. In most stories unattractive people have always been painted as villains so showing a big bullying woman as an anti-hero doesn't surprise me...you'll see this type of portrayal in white flicks. Also, IMHO Thandie Newton's features are not that European, her skin tone is light but other than that her features are not uncommon for black women (i.e. nose, eye color, etc.).
I'm obviously not signing this petition & Eddie keep making movies...
