Oh. My Lord.
BETH DITTO has ramped up her campaign against size zero girls, insisting she LOVES it when people call her a “fat ugly b*tch”.
Her band THE GOSSIP recorded three live tracks for my new Bizarre Podcast and popped into the office for a chat afterwards.
Beth revealed how she enjoys the repulsion that some “normal” people feel for her.
The 15-stone singer told me: “I read things where people call me a ‘fat ugly b*tch’ and, you know what? I am a fat ugly b*tch and it’s amazing! I feel like ugly is beautiful.
“I am at the point where I can take that as a real compliment.
“If normal people don’t get it and aren’t open to it then that’s fine. I have lots of people who understand.”
Okay, look. I don’t have a problem with the fact that she’s fat. I don’t have a problem that she’s hideous. I don’t have a problem that she’s a lesbo. Honestly, I don’t care about any of it. Let’s face facts, though. Ugly is not a compliment, no matter how much you’ve managed to lie to yourself to feel better about yourself.
This whole “fat empowerment” thing that chicks like her are into makes me laugh. Honestly. I understand you don’t need to be feeling sorry for yourself. No one should walk around hating themselves day in and day out. That being said, to equate obesity with beauty just so you can say you’re beautiful is ridiculous.
Are there girls who are slightly zoftig who are attractive? Oh hell’s yes. Start with Kate Winslet. Move along to some of the girls on the Dove ads. Work your way over to American Idol runner up Kimberley Locke and even current Idol awesomeness Jordin Sparks (Yes, I know, she’s 17; I’m only making a point here). THOSE are beautiful women.
You, however, are just a fat ugly dyke.
And no, I don’t mean that as a compliment.
