I agree. The blog post they linked to was very old as well. It was from around the same time as this article. I think you're right and it quickly failed because no one wants to see fat dancers, even for comedic reasons, and I also imagine all the dancers quit because they are lazy fucks. With that being the case, it sort of makes it more funny because OK2BeFat's whole thing is about railing against "stereotypes" of fat people because slapstick objects. They were too lazy to properly read into their own link and learn the real motivation.
