"..I'm thin, for like, Detroit" - Lena Dunham

**bailey** · January-22-13, 11:30 AM

Lena Dunham, creator and star of HBO hit "Girls," as well as recent Golden Globes winner, has some opinions about Detroiters that are likely to be unpopular in the Motor City.

"I'm not super thin, but I'm thin, for like, Detroit," she told radio host Howard Stern Wednesday after he apologized for calling her "a little fat girl who kind of looks like Jonah Hill."

"I'm not that fat, Howard," Dunham told the host.

Quite a bit of outrage over that statement, but after going to the auto show over the weekend, I can't see her as being wrong. Holy cow.

Yep. Was coming into this thread to be like "c'mon now with the outrage, people here are pretty fat."

Michiganders tend to be fat.

Metro Detroiters a bit less so, but this isn't exactly the health center of the nation. Really only the snobbyvilles have a high proportion of skinny women.

We do. But the holly-weird 'gods' and 'goddesses' have their own problems, within their 'prized' thin status. I don't even watch that kind of crap to even consider their views!

Naw bitch, your pale doughy snaggle tooth ass ain't thin for anyplace on THIS Earth. Sorry.

From what little I know about her/her writing team/her lillywhite TV show set in NYC I don't really like her.

Stop opening your crooked mouth to say dumb shit.
Stop taking your clothes off making gross uncomfortable awkward sex scenes.
Stop making making whitewashed tv shows, HBO has been sucking mad DICK lately.

I'm all for gratuitous unneeded nudity and tittilation. I make no apologies.

But that was just unpleasant. It was the first and last thing I saw of that show.

So much racism in this post.

So it shouldn't be too much trouble to point some of this "racism" out.

A.) I don't see "racism" in the post.
B.) After "Googling" to find out WTF she was, I agree she should keep her clothes on.
C.) The photo I saw of her eating a birthday cake while sitting on a commode is very disturbing to me.

If I walked around like that, I'd be arrested. If she does it on national TV in front of millions of people, she's a star.

According to Men's Fitness magazine, Detroit is the 2nd fattest city in America [[only Houston is worse):

1 in 3 Detroiters are obese. Not overweight, mind you, but OBESE.

LOL. I was thinking to myself, "Detroit doesn't seem worse than back home." Welp, that explains it.

What gets me is how men with such pathetic physiques as Stern or Limbaugh [[Limblubber?) can get away with judging the bodies of other people. People who live in glass houses.....

Well, to be fair, they get away with it because attractive women keep dating and marrying them.

I guess if a man has enough money and very little self-motivation, then being a John able to afford a pretty gold digger is satisfactory. However, while the trophy is at the gym, they get the pick of the good woodmen. To each their own. All this still does not let them get away with the obvious fact to anyone who has eyes. Doughboy Stern and Limpblubber cutting on any persons looks is a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black.

True that. Whenever I see two black pots for every white kettle in my cupboard, I immediately build another cupboard for the kettles.

Once she gets past her teenage years, there is nothing quite so sexy and attractive to a woman as a six or seven figure income.

I dunno about that. One of my buddies has very good with his eight shooter and had no trouble getting very attractive women. Later on in life, he did attain a decent income.

**kenp** · January-22-13, 01:41 PM

Not knowing who this Lena is I had to google. I agree, she needs to keep her clothes on.

**oladub** · January-22-13, 01:46 PM

I'm surprised that so many here are attacking someone who did the orgasmic Obama ad. Where are your loyalties? An Attack on lena Dunham is an attack on the President. So what if she's a lofty liberal who scorns Detroit.

Effective ad campaign though. It reached and compelled the audience intended [[not me as I voted for neither Obama or Romney)...

Thanks for the parody response. Pretty funny yet informative!
