Title: Madrid bans too-thin models from catwalk

MADRID (AFP) - Excessively skinny fashion models will be barred from a major Madrid fashion show later this month for fear they could send the wrong message to young Spanish girls, local media reported.

Madrid's regional government, which is co-financing the Pasarela Cibeles, has vetoed around a third of the models who took part in last year's show because they weigh too little.

The authorities collaborated with a Spanish health organisation to come up with a minumum body mass -- a height-weight ratio -- of 18 for the models.

Spanish daily ABC said it was the first time such restrictions had been imposed on a fashion show, although a recent wedding dress exhibition in Barcelona banned fashion models who took a dress size below 38 (British size 10, US size eight).

Several models at last year's show provoked a row when they claimed their careers would be under threat if they put on weight.

Organisers said they wanted to "help ensure public opinion does not associate fashion, and fashion shows in particular, with an increase in anorexia, a disease which, along with bulimia, is considered ... as a mental and behavioural problem".

The event will take place on September 18-22.

The greatest protection we can give to women is to let them know they don't have to look like a super model to be loved.

While I in no way agree that it is the government's place to decide these issues and that this is wholly preposterous- I have never felt fashion models were attractive in the slightest precisely because they look freakishly thin.

If I had to theorize on why it seems to be a prerequisite for fashion models to be thin to the point of appearing unhealthy- I half suspect it is because the fashion industry is controlled by homosexuals who have a warped vision of female beauty and perhaps even a deep seeded hatred of women and they delight in torturing them by demanding such unhealthy and dangerous weights.

You are exactly right. Homosexuals like prepubescent boys, so, since there are so many of them in the fashion industry, they try to make female models look like boys.

The problem isn't heterosexual men. It's poofters.

"You are exactly right. Homosexuals like prepubescent boys, so, since there are so many of them in the fashion industry, they try to make female models look like boys."

Pedophiles like kids, homosexuals like same sex partners; the two groups are nowhere the same. Pedophiles are predators who are intimidated by the thought of sex with peers, homosexuals are sexually imprinted with erotic desire for members of the same gender.

Very careful and well done research shows homosexuals to be same and normal and only different in orientation toward the gender that erotically arouses them. Pedophiles are predators to whom the gender of the young victim means little, and the opportunity to exploit them as prey means everything.

Homosexuals live normal and productive lives, pedophiles are very dysfunctional and never form normal relationships with peers sexually.

Nonsense. You've been propagandized. If you want to swallow that jizz to impress your fartsy friends, that's your choice, but I really don't appreciate you spitting in my direction.

I am very well educated on the topic, and don't buy crap built on wedge issue building and irrational hatred such as you spew.

You seem fascinated with rhetorically emulating oral sex. Kindly keep that predilection of yours' in the bedroom, I am not impressed with your childish and hateful behavior.

If you have not a thing nice to say when debating or engaging in lively discussion, don't say it.

If I saw someone gay bashing, I wouldn't hesitate to jump in on the side being bashed. I have also no fear about telling someone expressing hate verbally to can it when I hear it in the real world either.

So you might as well face the fact that you are not going to infect me with your hatred, and you are not going to score debate points talking in a tantrum mode as a child would.

Yeah, I'm sure you would, you Hero of Noble Gayness, you. But I bet you wouldn't intervene if you saw a 30-year-old "gay" man getting all chummy with a drunk 13-year-old boy, would you?

It was a rhetorical question. You know you wouldn't. Of course you'll say you would, but you know wouldn't.
