Blogger Calls Kate Upton "Fat" "Piggie;"
Upton Says She's Not Fat
I can't believe this is a thing.
So, this stupid shit began June 8.
The unnamed female blogger, who acknowledges preferring the "skinny aesthetic," wrote in a July 8 post on the website "Skinny Gurl" that she has been deluged with angry emails and threatened with rape and death.
The controversy first began back in June when the blogger wrote that Upton was "confidently lumbering up the runway like there's a buffet at the end of it," and also called her a "little piggie" with "huge thighs, NO waist, big fat floppy boobs, terrible body definition … ."
She continued: "Did you know that humans are 80% genetically identical to cows? Well, allow me to prove it to you… ." That line was followed by an unflattering photo of the back of Upton's lingerie-clad body on the runway.
Re-butt-al here.
This sort of thing -- tearing into women's bodies for the most absurd of complaints -- can only result in them becoming insecure, depressed, and more willing to have sex with lonely men who'll tell them they're pretty, and--
Okay, carry on.
Bitch, Please: SNL used to lampoon bloggers with a character who ran a blog called "BitchPlease.com."
It was funny, because it's so painfully true. Just awful.
