So... now you know. If you weigh any more than this woman:



Don't bother shopping at Ralph Lauren. The clothes won't fit you.

I liked Raplh Lauren. Mom met him on a plane once, and he was really cool. And the clothes I've had from his brand have been quality things... twice as expensive, but three times as durable.

But this... it's just so so wrong.

That cover... I thought it was supposed to be a joke or a commentary or something. But, no. They actually meant it. That scares me.

And then she gets fired because she "can't fit the clothes"? Who the frak are they making these clothes for?? Who's going to buy them if only the 1% skinniest people on Earth can fit into them properly?

And who is it who decided that women with no noticeable curves or shape or physical presence were sexy?

As for the gay thing... They're actually saying that? That's... incredibly stupid. And also rather hypocritical. Down with misogyny! Up with homophobia! Yeah!!
