Slog - Comments on Inciting Extreme Thinness... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/inciting_extreme_thinness ...may soon be a crime in France....

Is the role of government to determine what a "normal" human being looks like? I've seen first hand the devastating effects of our media's obsession with body image but this law is idiotic.

Hyper-thyroid bug eyes stuck on a construction of popsicle sticks? How attractive, not to say fashionable, is that? As a gay man, I have trouble understanding the allure these social X-rays have on straight men.
Or is skeletal androgyny the new I-love-women-but-I-wanna-fuck-boys sin-thing?

Of course you have trouble. You're gay. Would you be attracted to women if they all looked like Kirstie Alley?

If there's a such a huge problem with thin women in France that they have to pass a law to prevent it, then I'm moving. I'd rather live in a country where 10% of the population is anorexic, than where 40% are obese.
