Comment of the Week
Rosemary just left an awesome comment below about Tom Cruise, but I wanted to point you to a comment you might not otherwise see, on an older post about the infamous Twix commercial.
"The woman in the twix commercial is my sister. She is not fat! You people are sooooooo judgemental. She auditioned for that spot and was chosen over hundreds of women, why? Because she is confidant, beautiful and articulate. She was in no way perpetuating stereotypes aimed at plus sized women... I hope that you all lighten up in the new year and learn not to take people at face value. My sister...is smart, a college graduate, an amazing singer/ songwriter, a daughter, a friend, a business woman and very proud of her ASSets!"
In looking through the comments, though, it seems that a lot of people were very positive about this commenter's sister. Was anyone really calling her fat? I don't think that was the problem, it was the stereotyping that some people found offensive. Correct me if I'm wrong. But as for your sister:
"The woman wearing the pants has a beautiful...figure...As a black woman with a similar shape, I saw nothing wrong with it."
"I think I would be a bit peaved if the they used a woman who was 400 pounds and not that modest vixen they went with."
"This woman was voluptuous and beautiful."
"i'd have no problem bending her over a table and going to work on that ass if you know what i mean."
