One giant step for body positivity, one massive setback for the practical needs of graphic design!
That is probably the best way to describe the inexplicable decision by fashion-and-female-issues magazine Cosmopolitan to place "land whale" Tess Holliday on their latest cover.
As described by the BBC, which appears to have moved on from promoting pedophilia to boosting early death through earth-shuddering heart attacks and toxic diabetes:
Tess, who's a UK size 26, says she cried when asked to be on the cover.
"A magazine like that has never put someone like me, an actual fat body, on the cover of a magazine," she told BBC's Victoria Derbyshire.
"To be on a glossy where you can actually see my body, they haven't altered how I look, makes me really, really proud.
"It not only meant a lot to me, but the work that I'm doing, which would therefore impact millions of bodies that look like mine."

| Possibly the longest sash ever made. |
There is only one problem with promoting all this stomach churning obesity -- or "body positivity" as the Left insists on calling it in their typically Orwellian way: There is simply no space left on the front of the magazine for the actual cover itself.
With Holliday's undulating flab hills and flesh puddles blocking out most of the view, there is very little room for the magazine's title and other vital information on the cover, such as price and taglines for articles. But then why would you want to buy a piece of trash like this, let alone read it?
