A Supermodel With a Heart

In order to experience what life would be like without an angelic face, perfect skin, sensational breasts, plentiful endorsement deals, and multi-million dollar television contracts, supermodel Tyra Banks recently pretended to be a fat blob for a segment that will soon be aired on her absolutely unwatchable talk show. The brave Ms. Banks dawned a fat suit and was forced to endure the embarrassment of not being perfect.

Tyra described this experiment in humility as "one of the most hearbreaking days of my life." This from a woman who, on November 18, plans to air a segment entitled "Pursuing a Beautiful Booty" on her trainwreck of a talk show.

Thanks Tyra. I'm sure all of the depressed 300 pound women who learn of your heroic feat will applaud your 2 hours of mild discomfort in a fat suit. You already spent an entire episode of your show having a sonogram performed on your breasts to prove they were real. Need you further destroy the self esteem of your viewers (all twelve of them) by "pretending" to look like them for an afternoon.

Next thing you know, Maury Povich will pretend to be a sexually active pre-teen with hepatitis C and Judge Judy will pretend to be a manic-depressive gardener who assaulted a customer when they refused to pay her for her work.

I'm tempted to boycott the next Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in response to this ridiculous stunt. But I won't. Why punish myself for YOUR mistakes. I will simply tear out the pages on which you appear!!!
