British people are fucking nuts. They have fucked up teeth that they won't fix, they fucking love Susan Boyle and they eat mud for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Insert a British reality show about a modeling contest for the physically handicapped, call it "Britain's Missing Top Model" and that rounds it off.
"There is something both bold and troubling about “Britain’s Missing Top Model,” a reality show that begins on Tuesday on BBC America that pits disabled women against one another to compete for a photo spread in the U.K. edition of Marie Claire magazine."Is this offensive somehow? Seems like some granola-eating-tree-hugger or some group would have an issue with this. I don't really give a shit about models that are missing legs or arms because it isn't that interesting so good luck fighting my indifference. But, what I was super happy about is that this show did what it was suppose to do - shit on fat people. Thank God a show about girls overcoming boundaries in the fashion industry can indirectly remind everyone how much fat people suck.
One thing never changes in the beauty industry, however: an ounce of fat is a greater hurdle than a missing limb. “Rebecca’s disability didn’t cause me any problems,” a photographer says after shooting Rebecca, 27, a stunning brunette who was born with a deformed hip and wears a prosthetic leg. “It was just the fact she’s not really in shape. Most models are pretty toned, slimmer, more agile.”Big applause for this show. They fucking got back to the main point - lose a few limbs and that's fine but if you gain a few pounds, just off yourself because there is no room for you in modern society other than being a clown. Finally, the British do something important. Those lazy bastards haven't done something worth anything since taxing our tea. Keep sucking on the revolution bitches!
