Cuz that's the reason we exist

Richard Roeper has a serious problem. See, all those pernicious Dove ads are sending him into a tizzy. Is he some sort of moralistic freak, disturbed by all that empowered female flesh? Not at all! He's just bothered by the fact that they're not anorexic.

Now here's where I'm supposed to say that I find it refreshing to see "real people" on billboards, given that our culture is so obsessed with youth and beauty, and that most billboards feature impossibly gorgeous, ridiculously thin women who have been airbrushed to a level of perfection that 99.9 percent of the population can never reach.'

But the raw truth is, I find these Dove ads a little unsettling. If I want to see plump gals baring too much skin, I'll go to Taste of Chicago, OK? I'll walk down Michigan Avenue or go to Navy Pier. When we're talking women in their underwear on billboards outside my living room windows, give me the fantasy babes, please.

If that makes me sound superficial, shallow and sexist -- well yes, I'm a man.

Now, anyone who'se seen those ads (and how can you miss 'em - he's right, they're everywhere) can tell you those women are not fat. The "chunkiest" of the bunch of just curvy and several are quite thin. If these women are chunky then who does Roeper think is normal? An anorectic? Unless you're dangerously thin you shouldn't be allowed to inflict your overweight hideousness on poor Mr. Roeper?

The difference between men who hate to see female flesh and those who objectify it is actually pretty small - they both hate to see women acting like they're people or something! Cuz you know, the reason god made us is for guys like Roeper to jack off on.

And since he likes skinny women so much, let's feed him to Ann Coulter.
