The comments of the day.

Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Vogue’s Anna Wintour: High School Dropout & Fat-Shamer: “She really reminds me of a character in a Tim Burton adaptation of Dr. Seuss. Just so bizarre, and sort of seeming to be living in a world of caring whether it is more important for the Sneetches to have bellies with stars or to have none upon thars, a character who wears pants made of Lorax fur, who is even Grinchier than the Grinch. If you asked her if she wanted Green Eggs and Ham, she’d shoot you, because only fat people eat. And she’s the antagonist in the sequel to Fox In Sox— Locks and Botox.” We say: One fish, two fish, red fish, contemptuous bish. • Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Vogue’s Anna Wintour: High School Dropout & Fat-Shamer: “My problem with the whole “fat shaming” thing is that it’s not about being unhealthy. It’s about fitting within the confines of an ideal that is neither attainable or healthy. The day Mia Hamm or Candace Parker or some other athletic woman makes the cover without massive airbrushing or being forced (I mean, er encouraged) to crash diet, is the day I will buy the bullshit Wintour is selling.” We say: What, these male athletes being gloriously active while the women just stood around looking pretty wasn’t good enough for you? • Best Comment Of The Day, in response to “Naughty, But Not That Naughty.”: “‘Fling’ is an entirely inappropriate word to describe my relationship with chocolate. Given current legislature it could best be described as a civil union.” We say: You’re registered at Hershey’s, right?
