    So, magazines constantly go on about size zeros being wrong but if you check out the best dressed sections of the same magazines, they always have pictures of the same people they've been slating for being too skinny as also being the Then, you turn another page, and there's a big circle pointing out the imaginary flaws of a normal sized celeb, slagging them for being fat. I just don't get it. Its particularly annoying now, with all the bikini pictures in magazines... They're all either too fat or too skinny according to the beauty editors. Its getting on my nerves! Rant over....:p

    I know it wasn't a new or ground breaking rant - just think it seems to be getting worse and one magazine I bought today really annoyed me. I wanted some gossip rather than the analysis of every part of flesh. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel differently, but today, I just wanted to rant about it!

    yea that pisses me off too!

    This week they seem to be going on about 'fat' celebrities, next week they'll probably have pictures of the same people with thier bones sticking out circled!!

    Awfully annoying it is!!

    well then, there's your answer

    the magazines aren't to blame, you and all the people who buy them are. If you all stopped buying and expressed your dissatisfaction with the way they are running their magazines, things would change.
