The Bit#@ 'sgone crazy!

Ok....I usually don't post pop-crap like this, but it's disturbing to me. When is the world going to wake up? First we complain that models look anorexic, now this?

God Bless Jordin Sparks.

Don't waste any brain cycles on her.  She's a poster child for blond jokes. Bobby

Dad was an NFL defensive back, Mom is pretty but she ain't small, and Jordin appears to be about 6 feet tall.  She ain't gonna wear a size zero.  Could she be obese some day?  Maybe, but she's a far cry from it. As far as I can tell, National Action Against Obesity is a small fringe group that essentially consists of its president/founder issuing press releases and making media appearances.  I see no evidence that it even has employees, funding, or other members.  We're not talking about a serious organization of doctors, experts, or policy makers.

Never surprizes me what BS will pop up on these shows. They either choose two people who's opinions are completely polar opposites or one freak that everyone can jab at. That's news entertainment for you - squeeze in a neat little argument before the next commercial!

That lady is a Freakin' moron.  First of all, isn't this primarily a singing contest?  Since when do you have to be skinny to sing good?  Does she live under a rock?  Second, don't they realize that calling relatively thin people FAT, and calling out comorbidities is a slap in the face to people *****ally deal or have dealt personally with obesity and all the fun stuff that comes wit it.   --Dave

Hey C.... Does this sound like th Georgtown Basketball thing... you have a young lady...who should be at one of the happiest times of her life, and some B**ch/Idiot/Ahole...come bust your buzz I think this blond chick should talk about her control issues in a group meeting... but lets not extend a hand and help Jordan be healthy, and then let her be our spoks person,,, naaaah Russ thanks for the point out

I have long ago ceased to be surprised by the ugly judgmentalism of self-appointed "saviors." It's a shame this sort of thing comes along to spoil what should be a pure experience of joy.  We know how difficult life is for everybody of every size and stripe, and harshly commenting on people's looks, weight, etc. is just plain snooty and ignorant. But commenting on "inner ugliness"? Hmm? Got to be careful here. Maybe being a "biotch" is beyond the individual's control? Nah. Oops!. I lost track of time. Got to hurry back to the shopping mall to hector fatties into slimming down. So many people who need my advice--and our government's nanny laws. Thank heavens for we few who know all! My do-gooding never ends.

Well spoken, Doug!
