Amy Schumer wows...

[Horace]

Looks like a normal 40 year old woman of high-normal BMI. I gathered from the text on the page that those are "after" pictures which are meant to wow the viewer. I am mercifully unaware of the before pictures. But I do know that I have long considered her reputation as being a 'beautiful woman comedian' to be a grave injustice to the word 'beautiful'.

'beautiful woman comedian' to be a grave injustice to the word 'beautiful'.

And to the word "comedian."

But, it's the Daily Mail, so we should discount it.

Right?

You think maybe the fact that the author of the article is called 'Billy Bullshit' just might have given me a clue?

As might the photo featuring massive spiders like something out of Cirith Ungol?

Also, the fact that there's a British train actually running in the snow is a dead giveaway.

Back in the day we used to call it 'having a laugh'.

Amy isn’t red carpet beautiful & she knows it. She makes me laugh. I liked a swapping places video she did with Anna Wintour (Vogue) Both of them crack me up …

Kinda sick of Amy Schumer and her fat issues.

Oops, I forgot, we don't call it fat anymore. The correct term now is curvy.

Doesn't that sound less pejorative than fat? It's also less fatty-sounding.

See, I knew you'd agree. Fat curvy women everywhere gettin a new lease on life.

[Doctor Phibes]

Those of us with perfect physiques really don't have time for all this angst.

Of course, The Daily Mail hasn't been taking ground-breaking, journalistic photos of me while I lounge at the beach, which one must assume is due to jealousy on their part.

[Rainman]

Hope you have harpoon insurance, Phibes.

I think of them as sturdy.

There were hundreds of years where her build was preferable. Reubenesque I believe they called it.

Reubenesque and zaftig are both good as well. I recall Reubenesque being a popular description during my undergrad years.

Correct, sir. Those were the good old days.

@brenda I blame Barbie.

[brenda]

Mik, you're not wrong about that. Lots of influences as well as dolls, but Barbie....
