Roadrunner Records: "No Fat Chicks"

[lederhosen]

Via james_nicoll, Amanda Palmer's record label refuses to promote her work because her belly is 'uncommercial'.

WTF?

I concur w/the WTF. "fat" belly on Amanda? Um, that's what a non-starved woman looks like.

Sigh, the music industry. The same one that allowed a drugged out and chubby Brittney Spears to perform (disastrously) at the VMAs a few years back.

I'll make sure to compliment her on her lovely belly tonight.

And yes, that is precisely what a non-starved woman looks like. Sexist idiots.
