Is Kate Upton Too Fat? Critics Call Her 'Lardy,' 'Squishy,' 'Piggie' [POLL]

Is Kate Upton too fat? Weigh in on the model's size via our online poll.

Modeling's newest "it" girl has gained a massive following due in large part to her sexy curves, but a group of critics are saying she is the massive one, calling her names like "thick" and "lardy," and saying that she looks "like a squishy brick" and "pregnant."

The most vicious critic of Kate Upton, who landed this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition cover and is on the cover of this month's GQ, so far has been the website SkinnyGossip.com.

A controversial site in its own right, SkinnyGossip has been linked to promoting anorexia, and it features a terrifying list of "Starving Tip[s] of the Day" aimed at helping girls become as skinny as humanly possible. The horrific starving tips, such as "Learn to LOVE that empty feeling in your stomach. Trust me, you'll feel disgusting when it starts filling up again," and "If you must eat, ONLY eat when people are watching you. All other calories are eaten in vain," are accompanied by photographs of super-thin girls' legs, ostensibly to show what girls should aspire to look like.

And the site is now turning its eyes to Kate Upton, who it calls "well-marbled" in a headline, comparing her to a cow, and lambasting her a "cannibal" for eating a beef hamburger in an advertisement for fast food giant Carl's Jr.:

"I thought cannibalism was illegal?!? If that's not a very different species of cow, Kate could be in legal trouble!"

The article, which does not list an author's name, goes on to lay into Kate Upton..."

I had to look her up. Looks to me like she's squishy where she oughts to be squishy.

[ThunderSleeps]

Too squishy? Looks pretty good to me. She could even put on a few lbs and still be fine.

[digger48]

I like squishy.

Not into fluffy, but squishy is nice.

Will somebody tell Kate to stop calling my house? I’m married for goodness sake. It’s not going to happen, Kate! Sorry!

If you think she looks “chunky” in that bikini, I would shudder at what you would have thought of Raquel Welch in her prime.

[onedoug]

Too young, blonde and thin for me, thanks.

[MD Expat in PA]

If anything, she looks a bit skinny to me. What is she? A size 2? Well perhaps last year’s size 2 is this year’s size 14 and this is supposed pass for what looks “good”.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Nope, perfect body. Only the faggots that run the modeling industry like that deathly skinny 11-year-old boy look in women. Real men like curves. Many women don’t understand this because they think we like the anorexic model look and lie saying we don’t. The fags can have that look. Give me curves any day.

[Army Air Corps]

Preach it, brother!

[Army Air Corps]

What did you do in the trade.

[Gabrial]

Whoa! My sensibilities have been offended, and I only watched for 20 minutes or so...

[AZLiberty]

Well marbled? I’d play marbles with her any day.

43 just failed the homosexual test.

I'd claim her with an extra 20 pounds distributed in the right places. What is it with women today that they gotta wax their this-sis and that-sis is and have ribcages like xylophones to be considered 'feminine'? These chicks nowadays look like conceited lab experiments. Hell, they're considered 'washed up' before they're 30; if I married one that age, my friends and family would think my midlife crisis was turning my brain to pudding. I, of course, would dissent...............

[Secret Agent Man]

No, she’s what heterosexual men like, not coifed faggots trying to make anorexic women look like teenage hairless boys.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Worked for a ‘high-end’ boutique as a floor seller and was promoted manager....then buyer after a few years. Was flown to Atlanta and NYC for ‘market’ to buy the lines for the store. We were a clothier for ‘bridge’ career wear, wedding, and ball attire.

Sold Cole Haan, Klein, Pinkerton, McKlintock, Joan Vass, Ghurka Luggage, Max Mara, etc.

This was a few years ago, mind.

[AZ .44 MAG]

Yep.

[tob2]

That is very painful to look at. And very sad as well.

Heck yeah! I'm only 30, and even I know Ms Welch was a great looking lady. (Don't know much more than that about her though.)
