There are banners all over Myspace saying, "Is Tyra Fat?"  I would like to say a big "fuck you" to society for all the hype on whether or not people think Tyra Banks is fat.  Ok let's look at this:

1.  Tyra Banks could weigh 180 pounds and still look AMAZING.

2.  I don't think 180 lbs for the height she is would even be fat.

3.  That number is much higher than they are saying she actually is.

4.  She is a RETIRED model...no one's forcing her to be annorexic anymore.

5.  All of this is actually PROMOTING annorexia because they are showing someone who a lot of girls look up to as "fat" when she really only gained like 30 pounds.

6.  I am extremely pleased with Tyra for her reaction to all this crap.  She is admitting to the weight gain and explaining that it is HEALTHY.  That is so true.  No one should be as tall and skinny as your typical model.  And no one should ever tell anyone they need to lose weight for the media.

7.  Look at her...yes you can see she's put on some weight from that ONE, unflattering photo of her, and she's not freakishly thin.  I hope people still look up to her even if she's "chunky."

8.  I'd say probably 20% of Americans weigh less than her.  This frustrates me beyond belief.  Here we are, examining a beautiful woman, and telling everyone she's fat.  What are the REAL fat people going to think?  People who suffer from obesety will become even more depressed when they hear that this woman who is probably a third of their weight is fat.  They are going to feel like giant blobs.

9.  Didn't a recent Dove commercial use "fat" models to sell their product?  Aren't they doing extremely well?

10.  Seriously, America, do you really have anything better to talk about than Tyra Banks and her weight?  I'm disappointed in you.  I hope Brad Pitt gains 200 pounds to piss all of you off.
