Aug 12 2005Jessica Simpson makes jeans for fat people

Jessica Simpson is coming out with a new line of plus-size jeans which will be made in sizes 12 to 24 and be available in Avenue stores. In regards to the decision, Jessica's father and manager, Joe Simpson, told USA Today, "We have people 300 pounds or 90 pounds come up to Jessica and say, 'I'm just like you' ... It's not about the outside. It's what's inside."

Call me silly, but what in the name of Pauly Shore's testicles does a person's inner worth have to do with selling jeans to fat people? I'm not saying that fat people can't be good people, I'm just saying that it has absolutely nothing to do with selling jeans. Unless, of course, telling fat people they're good on the inside is your pathetically clichéd attempt to trick them into thinking you care, in which case yes, maybe it is related to selling jeans. I don't want to be rude, but can somebody shoot this guy in the face already?
