Who's the Real Pig?

This whole Tyra Banks controversy is getting ridiculous (just like the Isaiah Washington getting gay therapy two weeks ago but I digress...). I just have to "weigh in" on this one though. These two radio DJ's Opie & Anthony have now shown the difference between having a big ass and being a big ass. How childish is it that they've now put a big banner outside of CBS Studios that says "Tyra Banks is a Fatty Pig Fatty"? First off, learn not to end a sentence with an adjective, fools! (B), I'm clutching my pearls that CBS would even allow this without firing the two DJ's, and (3) I hope Tyra can sue for slander or something.

I know Tyra has her own issues, but I have to give her props for standing up to the tabloids and public ridicule about her putting on weight. It took a lot of guts for her to put on that bathing suit on her show and let heavy girls know that it's OK to not be a size 4/6 and that curves are beautiful. Most men want a curvy woman anyway (thank the Lord!). You GO, Tyra!

Tyra hung up her modeling gear so she should have every right to eat what she wants and be whatever size she's comfortable with. After years of eating nothing but a leaf of lettuce and a sprig of parsley every day, I would be up to my ears in rice crispy treats and Haagen Daaz. Don't think that she doesn't have personal trainers or ways to get the wait off if she wants to. You do YOU, T!

If these two DJs have nothing better to do than spread hate and poke fun at someone WAY more famous than them who is getting paid WAY more money than them, that says something about how SMALL they really are - in mind, spirit, and most likely other areas too. Bullies almost always make fun of others to try and hide their own inadequacies or because they are jealous. With a name like "Opie" it kinda makes sense.

This reminds me of middle school when race started becoming an issue and my fellow classmates began dividing themselves by ethnic groups. It was always an ugly, freckle-faced, scrawny white boy or two picking on the black girls by pulling their hair or calling them names. Grow up, white boys. I'd rather see Tyra's big ass than your pasty white, hairy, flat one any day. And as far as Tyra "eating Opie and Anthony for dinner", why would she want something the dog wouldn't eat when she could have a gourmet meal?

I guess you can criticize someone for anything.

Funny enough, most men, including those mocking her, would fall over backward just to get her to smile their way.

Go figure.

I agree with your thoughts as well. Unfortunately, these guys are probably just trying to get ratings, and don't have the skills to put on a better show. They need to talk to Da Kid, G-Wiz. I'm sure he'd be able to give them a pointer or two.

Who da heck is Da Kid, G-Wiz? Is that two separate rappers or what? Google turns up nuthin.

Opie & Anthony are some jackasses. They did say that they don't really think Tyra is fat per se, but I think they were mocking her tirade on TV. However, I can't stand them because they like to make racist jokes all the time, and they have Patrice O'Neal, a black comedian on there sometimes, and he's always cooning it up like some house negro/porch monkey.

BTW, thank you for your commentary on my blog. I really appreciate it.

i never saw the big deal anyway with tyra on the pics...WHO CARES...she's not modeling like that anymore is she? she can start eating regular food now...

I definitely agree. She's not fat and even if she was, what business is it of theirs? Idiots! But that "Fatty Pig Fatty" was a hilarious indication of the juvenile ignorance of whomever wrote it! That sounds like something a PRESCHOOLER would say! What "adult" in their right mind would actually say that, much LESS have that PRINTED on a banner??

It's not slander though. Just name-calling at its most primitive.

Opie and Anthony do take shit a bit too far. Especially Anthony, who seems to have some serious issues about a few things. But you're right...most guys that talk shit about her would hit it in a minute.
And then go tell everyone and their grandma about it too.

Bunch of pussy boys!
