“You call this fat?”

This months Vanity Fair has Jessica Simpson on the cover (here) and right across the top it says, “YOU CALL THIS FAT?” And “FAT” is in extra-big caps and italicized, as if to indicate that the person who said it was in disbelief at being called fat. And you have to admit, the pretend version of Jessica Simpson they have on the cover doesn’t look fat at all. She looks terrific.  Similarly, here’s a picture of a bunny in a top hat and bow tie.  I think someone’s got a hot date tonight, haha.   Lookin good, Mr. B!

Meanwhile, back on earth, Jessica Simpson shouldn’t be daring people to call her fat when she’s very clearly fat. I’m sure if someone made me some Daisy Dukes with an elastic waistband I could fit into them too, that doesn’t mean I should or that anyone would think for one instant that I even vaguely resembled Daisy Duke.
