BASTARDS!

Pictured on the right here is “Mad Men’s” Christina Hendricks as she looked in real life at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards. On the left: the distorted image that the New York Times ran to accompany an article that basically called her fat. In fact, the Grey Lady had TWO articles scrutinizing female stars’ appearance — both written by women. From Gothamist:

The first piece, written by Andy Port (yes, a woman), declares that Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox and workout queen Kate Hudson have all “put on a little weight.” Though she says they are “sporting sexier curves” she then goes on to say it’s concentrated in their upper arms.

Then, Cathy Horyn decides to take down the gorgeous Christina Hendricks — the Mad Men actress known for her sexy curves… which are decidedly not concentrated in her upper arms. In her piece she writes, “Not pretty Christina Hendricks in Christian Siriano’s exploding ruffle dress. (As one stylist said, ‘You don’t put a big girl in a big dress.’)”

The Times has since corrected the mistake, calling it a result of “routine processing.” Really? Because I do “routine processing” on Photoshop all day long, and when I resize or crop photos, that never seems to happen. I could understand if a dog in a funny hat showed up in the picture, but that’s just inexcusable. It’s unfair to the millions of women who are actually fat and need to lose weight.

    They didn’t need to shop any ugly onto Elizabeth Moss though. She’s got that taken care of.

    I do “routine processing” to Christina Hendricks pictures too, and I don’t even have photoshop!

    “Then, Cathy Horyn decides to take down the gorgeous Christina Hendricks….”

    Are you sure it wasn’t Catty Horyn? Reeeeooorrw, fat jeolous bitches!

    Also, she still looks hot even stretched a bit.

    To be fair, these are fashion reporters. Women who do nothing but talk about how everyone else looks while downing cosmos and zoloft by the gallon jar.

    Must be hard seeing a hot chick with big boobs over throw that 90s heroin chic bullshit those bitches love so much.

    And by the way, anyone who claims that Kate Hudson and Jennifer Aniston have “curves”, clearly have no idea what a curve is.

    That’s what that bitch looks like? Oh Christina, baby, you looks five times better than that.

    More like Cathy WHOREyn. Zing!

    Christina Hendricks lacks muscle tone. That doesn’t make her fat.

    As stated in the Heidi Retard-Pratt post, I would still gladly bang the one on the left or the right. And by that I mean both the pictures and the titties.

    I love how you tagged this ‘golden globes’. That’s awesome.

    Oh..er..um…you meant the awards, didn’t you? Forget I said anything…

    Of course you don’t put a big girl in a big dress. You put her in a hospital gown and get her some gastric bypass surgery.

    GenWar, the correct tag to laugh at in this post is clearly “Red Carpet.”

    HI-YOOOOO!!!

    I know of very, very few men who’d take Courtney Cox over Christina Hendricks. It’s women who perpetuate this “bony is better” bullshit.

    Also, I “routinely processed” a photo of my junk for Adult Frien Finder and the ladies. . . they do be calling me.

    Oh, the “red carpet” tag has to do with the Golden Globes, and the red carpet she is actually standing …oh yeah, that makes more sense

    speaking as a fellow redhead with awesome tits: girls are gigantic bitches about this stuff. Witness the models in women’s magazines (who generally look like very pretty teenage boys) and the model’s in men’s magazines (who are you know, still a crazy hot ideal that few of us can ever aspire to, but a crazy ideal with meat on their bones). I gave up on girls a long time ago. Except Joan – I’ll never give up her.

    ‘routine processing error’ may be code for “I don’t know about aspect ratios.”

    It really looks like someone just took a 4:3 picture and put into 16:9.

    You noticed that when you were lining a bird cage or wrapping fish? You don’t really read the New York Times do you?

    Wow, blogs will rant about conspiracy theories over nothing, I guess. Shouldn’t be surprised. The Times is primarily a print publication, so it is entirely plausible that running an image through their formatting software, resulting in slight distortion of an original image’s aspect ratio. Touchy, much? Chill out.

    the thing that pisses me off about this is it’s stuff like this that convinces women that straight men want their girlfriends to look more like stick-figures than christina hendricks. And by and large, we don’t. We really, REALLY don’t.

    “routine processing”

    Michael Hughes, shut the fuck up!

    It was obviously done deliberately. Christina Hendricks actually looks like a woman, a real woman and not like some emaciated twig the fashion cunts would like all women to be. She’s not fat by any stretch of anyone’s imagination, just pretty much perfect.

    That girl in the background with the umbrella seems to her legs spread wider in the left picture too…
