New York Times Cause Fat Debate
As we all know, when someone is trying to be politically correct they use the word “big” instead of saying what they really mean – “fat”. Well this is exactly what the New York Times have decided to call Christina Hendricks and used a distorted image to go with the article.
In their fashion reports for the Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday, a writer decided to call the Mad Men actress “big” while using the image above on the left which leads you to believe that Hendricks does look bigger than she actually does. The photo has since been replaced with the real photo on the right.
Cathy Horyn, a writer for the NY Times, is quoted as saying “Not pretty Christina Hendricks in Christian Siriano’s exploding ruffle dress. (As one stylist said, “You don’t put a big girl in a big dress. That’s rule number one.â€)”
Another writer for the NY Times, Andy Port (another woman), wrote that Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox have all “put on a little weight.” She then ads that they have put on sexier curves.
What I find interesting here is that both of these writers are women hating on other women, jealousy maybe? Not one of these actresses are fat, I wish this whole fat/skinny debate would just go away already.
