Fat And
Bosomy Magazine Faces Airbrush Allegations
Long
a staple of the mainstream - and always faced with a far greater demand
than supply - the fat and bosomy magazine industry has had to deal
with a saturated market for the first time in its history. Simply
speaking, there were too many fat chicks in too many magazines. To
combat the saturated market, certain editors - in order to gain a
competitive advantage - took to airbrushing their respective models.
Not only was this a break from the traditional use of airbrushing
(usually airbrushing was limited to old people's pets), but it represented
a 47% fatter and more bosomy model. The male population was taken
aback, struggling to comprehend this much eye-candy, but like all
good things (e.g. sexism, being a C.E.O., etc.) feminism had to strike
back.
Well, feminist watch-groups (e.g. The Ellen D. Society) were quick
to lodge
a protest, citing that the airbrushed women depicted in the magazine
were no
longer reflective of reality, and thus served to reinforce a negative
stereotype, and further objectify fat women as sexy morsels.
The
most vocal of all feminists, Caren Beth Rogger - an esteemed mother
of eight obese girls - warned that the objectification of fat women
as sexy beauties, would undoubtedly set back her daughters to an age
of unprecedented stoutness - the fat nineties. "This unattainable
obesity breaks my heart, daily. In fact, just the other day, my littlest,
Darcy, came and asked why she couldn't be fatter, like that pretty
Oprah Winfrey. I didn't have the heart or ability to articulate the
unattainable beauty of an airbrushed conglomeration of fat. I'm not
saying that Oprah isn't fat, just that it isn't possible to be that
fat, and when it isn't possible to be that fat, that's when you have
children gorging themselves in hopes of conforming to society and
its self constraining norms." In an even stranger press release,
Caren spoke exclusively to Connie Chung in a Scottish accent, saying,
"Tis, fine a day as any, to go to Denny's. Ahhh." Although,
it may not be that strange in retrospect, considering that Connie
specifically asked "Do you think - in a Scottish accent for our
Dunkirk affiliate - that this is as fine a day as any to go to Denny's?"
It appears that the friends of the fat and bosomy industry took
the lawsuit
seriously, because as quick as the feminist watch groups sued, the
groups
that watch the watch groups (e.g. The Chuck Norris Foundation) countered
with a court injunction, allowing the production and systemic airbrushing
of
nude plump magazines to continue unimpeded. Thank Jesus.
