"American Idol" - a weight loss show?

[S.A.M.]

A health commentator has earned the wrath of Jordin Sparks' fans, after suggesting that the young American Idol winner needs to lose weight.

MeMe Roth, of the group National Action Against Obesity, said she has received death threats since appearing on U.S. television and declaring the 17-year-old Arizona native overweight.

What does a show on singing have to do with weight?:crazy:

What next? Banning fat people from singing?

Fat people cannot sing?

Oh, god, I hope so!! Fat women who can sing should sing, not be seen!

Fat people cannot sing?

Ears are for listening, eyes are for seeing ....and no one wants to see fat, ugly people while they're listening to nice music or singing!

Fat people should go to Darfur for a few months of training in eating practices.
