Sabotage Times, We can't Concentrate so Why Should You?Sabotage Times, We can't Concentrate so Why Should You?


Meghan Trainor is fantastic news for blokes everywhere. Not just because her song ‘All About That Bass’ is a big sugary slice of Doo-Wop that’ll get stuck in your teeth for days like a warm Drumstick lolly, and is actually good enough to make it acceptable to be caught singing it in the shower or the van, but because she’s the most fanciable pop star we’ve had for ages.

Iggy and Nicki are great and all, but you’re seriously kidding yourself if you think you’re gonna see either of them oiling up their pneumatic arses behind the counter at Greggs. Women like that just don’t exist in real life: they’re unattainable. But with Trainor there is that sneaking feeling that if music doesn’t go well, she might, actually, possibly, in some twist of events, end up behind the ramp in your local, and that is a powerful thing to a man’s brain.

She’s the cheeky chip shop girl you told yourself you’d ask out one day, the Saturday girl in the barbers who you swear massages your head a bit more “sensually” than anyone else’s. For the next video she might as well stick on a William Hills uniform and sing the football odds.

The song is about finding self-respect and not having to conform to false standards of beauty, and she makes a strong point for it. Team Meghan. Watch her video now or you’ll regret it.

Is this taking the piss? The song basically says that it's ok to be fat and overweight and then slates 'skinny' people. If a size 6 girl made a song/video saying fuck fat people it's all about being skinny then the fatties of the world would be in uproar, the PC brigade would hunt her down in no time. But no. We have to be careful not to offend the greedy fucks of this world and respect them for being comfortable with their bodies.

You may well be onto something, but "PC brigade" is up there with "EUSSR" and "liblabcons" in the Daily Mail comments glossary of twattery.

What the fuck are you on about you tit? The lass isn't that big, bigger than you may like, but I'd say she's just womanly. Certainly a few tubsters taking part in the video but so what? Gross obesity isn't being celebrated from what I can make out, just that you don't need to be anorexic nor bulemic.

No,what the song is saying is that a women and girls don't need to hate themselves because they don't conform to society's frankly unrealistic ideals of what all woman should look like, which is usually being skinny as a damn toothpick and blonde-haired or blue-eyed or whatever,and that they should learn to appreciate themselves as they really are--a very positive message, in my book. And,oh,BTW, not ALL fat people are unhealthy---it depends on ho big you are, really---just as all skinny people aren't necessarily healthy either simply because they're skinny---i that were the case, bulimia and anorexia wouldn't exist. You can be too damn skinny,just as much as you can too damn fat---either way can causes some major heath problems.
