Overweight Idol Comment Continues to Wreak Havoc

Overweight Idol Comment Continues to Wreak Havoc
Tons of you commented on my story about that delusional MeMe Roth calling Jordin Sparks "a vision of unhealth," due to her size, and apparently we weren't the only ones outraged by her comments.

MSNBC is reporting that Ms. "I'm so skinny" Roth has been receiving "hate posts calling for my death," since her FOX TV interview where she questioned what message about weight Jordin's American Idol win sent to young girls.

MeMe said that though she admires the 17-year-old singer’s talent and “effervescent personality,” she thinks that “her extra weight is a reflection of today’s society and a culture where many of our children have compromised health due to unhealthful food choices and inactivity ... We have to stop with the ‘baby fat,’ ‘curvy,’ ‘goddess’ euphemisms and own this child health crisis.”

I still despise this woman and the message she's sending to young girls, but I don't think she should be getting death threats. This is just a clear example of how hate produces hate.

Let's just call MeMe harmless names and make fun of her, and hope that karma comes a-calling in the form of one too many protein shakes.
