Image of Ultra-Thin Ralph Lauren Model Sparks Outrage

[lexworthington2]

It's kind of freaky.

[iluvcamp94]

That's just sad!

[seizetheweakened]

what the fuck I've seen sexier pieces of beef jerky

[theblahs]

shit's shopped who fucking cares. people gotta relax and gain an understanding of technology .

[SingingSisterfuls]

You ppl post "Lol" when it's not funny at all. And other comments about the being "Sexy" or "Hot" is just sick. All your doing is encouraging these poor ppl to be even more skinny. Your cruel. Thank you to all the ppl fighting to help anorexicia!

[bondbs1987]

You would think if you were going to post nasty comments on these videos.....they'd be spelled correctly...LOL Get off youtube and pick up a BOOK!! LMAO

[PokeXpertoX]

i hate skinny people he need a good feed

[kennylovescats]

that chick is disgusting oh and by the way learn to photoshop

[shabott45]

Fucking disgusting

[xxmetioqurexx]

what song is this? it sounds familiar?

[99elizabeth]

@xxmetioqurexx bon iver - skinny love

a girl called birdy ripped it off and thats played on the radio alot, so thats why you recognise it im guessing.. but the origional is beautiful.. bon iver's new album has just come out. he is a wonderful!

[THR336TALIA]

Who would have sex with that? That's what I wanna know lol

[martinishot]

The photoshopped picture was released in the Japanese market where such a thin body would actually not be uncommon.Its not RL's fault that somebody scanned it and sent it around the internet.

[dondeestamarie]

I love Bon Iver:)

[babygaga41]

It turns out that this was photo shopped. So actally she is healthy.

[babygaga41]

I hope she's better now:(

[mdccoupedancer99]

That girl is not pretty , is disgustingly thin and setting extremely bad examples for young girls. I myself starved myself for 3 days and passed out three times and lost weight rapidly and I realized I could've died when I look back at it and every girl is beautiful in there own way!!!

[B4mytyme]

ew

[serappia]

disgusting and highly misogynist.

[XdisXesXwhyXimXhawtX]

People, you don't realize how cruel you can be to naturally skinny girls. How do you think it feels to be told that you aren't a real woman, and that you're disgusting, and that you're anorexic, for something you can't help. I can't change my genetics. Neither can many people. It hurts just as badly as it does for you to be called fat.

[XdisXesXwhyXimXhawtX]

@PineappleHazel You are beautiful no matter what people say. Don't let anyone tell you that you're not. Including yourself!

[XdisXesXwhyXimXhawtX]

@PineappleHazel I know how you feel hon :( In my french class, we were talking about how to describe people, and we were in groups, and one girl asked the teacher how to say anorexic in french (she was talking about me). My teacher told her that phisical image has nothing to do with the inside, but I cried in for a long time

[EauDeYourMum]

ralph lauren sacked her yano, for being to fat. this was the last shoot she did with them, and thy photo shoped it so much. the modle says she relly hates it

that image, dosnt make me feel insucure. it makes me feel happy, cous i dont look like her

which is good

cous that is actualy disgusting

[TheJeempy]

My dick is wider then her body.

[alecjahn]

This isn't sending any messages. She's an attractive lady, it's the people looking at the photo that interpret this look as some sort of peak/perfection. I don't think attacking fashion/models is the correct plan; we need to defend our friends and our loved ones and (perhaps most importantly) ourselves.

[Lipsandass]

Whoa...nasty...I object!

[lavenderparfume1]

awful i don't understand how they can see themselves in the mirror and feel like a woman. (this image looks like a skeleton) but the truth is that is not sexy or beautiful or healthy when you are a size 0 to3 or when you are 200 pounds. either way is awful. i don't think people are REALLY happy, they just trick their brain.

[PineappleHazel]

@lavenderparfume1, I'm About 5'5. I'm A Size Zero. I Can't Help It. I Eat Soooo Much!. I'm Only 14 Years Old Tho, But Is It My Fault?. I'm Not Beautiful Then. :/. I'm Happy. Anorexia Is Wrong, It's Gross To, But People Look At Me Like That. :(.

[lavenderparfume1]

@PineappleHazel good for you, youre young i was really skinny and tall when in high school so i know. just be yourself and be happy. i weigh like 120 or less when i was teenager, i did not diet or exercise. except walk a lot to explore with my friends. just enjoy your youth. if youre naturally thin just be happy GOD make you that way

[abcdefghjklmnrst]

lol, she looks like a bobble head

[Mrs9r10bull]

eww

[alecjahn]

I'm about that skinny. Always have been. I don't see what the big deal is.

[26peacelovehappiness]

@alecjahn the big deal is that she had to starve herself to get that way. the big deal is that this picture is sending a message that girls have the be as skinny as a pole to be considered beautiful in this society. which is not true.

[lollipopfop]

@26peacelovehappiness The big deal is that obviously that message is not geting to the public. Because the number one health issue for western women is being overweight, not underweight. Girls get fatter at a younger age all the time. It would probably be good if the average woman got thinner, but its not happening, so Im not sure why such pictures are any problem.

[26peacelovehappiness]

@lollipopfop your a fucking dumbass. yeah, i agree with you that most people struggle with being over weight in the western world, this is sending out the message that they have to be skinny to be beautiful. do you really agree with that? people should be looked at for their personality NOT how much they weigh. You need to open up your eyes a take a fucking look around. There are way too many girls that have a problem with anorexia and bulimia, and pictures like this contribute to the problem.

[torie89]

@alecjahn because it makes the rest of us feel awful!

[alecjahn]

@torie89 That's something you need to overcome. Just because someone's not a rail doesn't mean they're not beautiful or amazing. People are different shapes and sizes, and yes it's total BS that our culture is at a point where there seems to be a qualitative system based on size, but feeling bad about yourself because you're not the shape that someone else was born just continues that same close-minded thought pattern.

[xxkittigyrlxx]

o.o

[ievutekiss]

How the song calls? ;)))))

[MagicMan7645]

This picture is so fake!!!! You can obviously tell that her waist is not that small! Her thighs are bigger then her waist!!!!! and everything else is so unatural

[TimpBizkit]

She was 8 stone 8 and 5 foot 11 - isn't that skinny enough - NOW THERE'S NOTHING LEFT OF HER!!

[insertBoringName]

eww

i want to lose a bit of wight right.

but i seeing this

makes me happy with myself

[MotherFuckingBest]

Thats Disgusting, not beautiful.

[concrusher72]

McNasty. Baby don't lose that back!

[darkkittyx]

i eat a ton but i cant gain weight poeple think im ten yrs. old i only weigh 80 pounds does anyone know why? BUT AT LEAST IM NOT THAT SKINNY!

[SpoonsForks]

LOOOL NOOB PHOTOSHOPPER

[vnubrunette]

being so skinny is not pretty at all?

My opinion

[Ganpignanus]

They deformed this beautiful model (Filipa). She is so pretty but some nut job photoshopped her into something grotesque. Ralph Lauren is a loser and fired her for being 'too fat' probably he must have some vision or psycological problems as he lost a great model.

[AiPresents]

worst photoshop  ever.......

[bitsellen]

thats just grose...

[Starchild91]

This is ridiculous.

[DIVINITYvideos]

THICKA THEN A SNICKA

i think i would shit my pants if i ever saw a girl that skinny

[Biancibuono]

What's the phrase? Any publicity is good publIcity. I think this is an exception to the rule. It's a disgusting image.

[carolinekillabeatz]

what song this playing??

[janie6476]

bon iver, skinny love... great album

[CurbYrDogma]

That's just a bad photoshop job, period. It looks like a collage of resized parts and the center of gravity is off. While teenaged girls can be quite thin, whoever did the photoshop retouching doesn't seem to know enough about human anatomy to make it all work together.

It's like they pasted her head on a teenaged model, reduced the size of the lower half and didn't make any adjustments. Fire the graphics department!

[MegaCommentWhore]

Thank you , i agree. bad photoshop, they made her look sickning skinny, i wouldn't of made her look that skinny to the point where you can tell it's photoshopped. the photo looks ridiculous and disproportionate. i mean they made the poor girl look like a bobble head. who ever photoshopped her photo, they need to quick their career as a photo retoucher.

[brownieblush]

Um, that's pretty nasty.

[yinyangtaichi]

Ralph Lauren is going to hurt for this.

In response to their own terrible imaging they go insane and flail their legal arms and try to sue ISPs and BoingBoing for copyright infringement!

I would not want to be a Ralph Lauren executive today.

[md991free]

This is a PR disaster for R.L. They fired the model in April for being too fat and used her face on a much skinnier model.

The actual model is not fat at all, she is 5'10 and weight 120 pounds.

Who ever authorized that should be demoted.

[Pseudologic]

No s/he should be sent to Huntington, WV, the fattest town in the US, to see what real fat people look like.

[veromix90]

i want to see the original photo!! this model is very beauty :( why photoshop?? :( :(

[nixticuil2004]

bull shit

[nestorrfortuna]

that's it, no more ralph lauren for me, i am boy cotting this brand

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

its just Ralph Lauren way of bringing more sales

[fahlou13]

It doesn't look real. Her fact should be more emaciated.

[NewsPaperOnline]

thats pretty thin
