Clear Channel shock jocks blame gays for scrawny models...

[Archae]

These two racist, misogynist assholes acting like 13 year old boys.

During the January 16 broadcast of Clear Channel's The John and Ken Show, co-hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou discussed the 69th Golden Globes Awards with news contributor Shannon Farren. While discussing how many of the actresses appeared to be "emaciated," Kobylt claimed that "gay guys control...the whole Hollywood look" and that because "gays like bodies that remind them of 14 year-old boys," actresses have to look like "14 year-old boy stick figures."

2. Right and these two assholes would be the first ones

with the "fat" jokes were they to see someone who was less than "emaciated".

If they want to see why women do that to themselves they need to look in the mirror.

6. FFS! Two things about these statements jump out at me immediately.

1. It seems to suggest that all fashion models are trying to empress gay men by looking like 14 yo boys.

2. It seems to imply that all gay men are pedophiles who desire 14 yo boys.

So much stupidity and ignorance. It boggles the mind.

7. That pic looks like the 'Andersonville' look - YUCK!!!

What's sad is that model is probably still trying to make sure she either stays the same or loses a few lbs. for the cameras.

8. Anorexia is such a devastating illness for both women .... and, as we're finding out, more and

more ... men. To blame this on gays is probably one of the nuttiest things I've ever heard.

9. Sure, that makes COMPLETE sense.

Why would anyone find that attractive? But more to the point, why do women do that to themselves? Hint: it isn't about gays.
