Women's Running features plus-sized cover model

The body positive gesture has people psyched.

This Running Magazine Has A “Plus-Size” Cover Model And People Are Psyched

 

She probably cranks 'em out at what, a 6:30 pace?

 

Cookies from the oven maybe.

 

Why is she even trying to run?

 

Nice to see Kate Upton has taken up jogging.

 

Some folks around here really have their pet projects.

 

I'm one of the fortunate ones, probably genetics, who's never topped 155 (even after rupturing an achilles and being out of action for about 9 mos.) and I recognize that some people are not as genetically gifted and they have a predisposition to run large. I give these "plus" people huge credit for their activity even though through unrealistic (IMHO) lenses they do not fit the ideal. I wish more people would feel the same way.

 

Running is a perfectly good way to lose weight and some rabid runners absolutely love overweight converts. I'd think, of all the covers a plus-sized woman could be on, this would be the best cover of all.

What's so objectionable about it?

 

Nothing. People are psyched.

 

No, really, I'm curious to what the deal is here. I'm sorry I don't get the in-joke. What is it?

 

She needs to have the good sense to live in seclusion until her body type is acceptable to Dick.

 

Just wait a few pages.
