Ew

I too read Entertainment Weekly, but have not yet gotten this issue; I am now pre-emptively annoyed. (Most weeks I am just pre-emptively annoyed with the Ghost of Jim Mullen, who now lingers over the Hot List, or whatever it's called, like a cantankerous ghostly presence of unfunniness.) Sarah Lindner over at the Austin American-Statesman preaches it:

"[D]id the magazine have to emphasize plus-size chick-lit author Jennifer Weiner's weight above all else? As we all know, if you're overweight, that negates every other quality you possess. It is possible that you do not even have a soul. I'm not saying don't mention it -- Weiner's heroines are overweight -- but the whole article doesn't have to read like 'LOOK! She's fat!'"
