Plus Size Fashion Protest: Too Hot or Too Heavy?

So, what is the deal with the ABC and Fox Networks?

I have been watching with disbelief this past week about the controversy around the Lane Bryant commercial featuring plus size model Ashley Graham (who looks beautiful in that LB commercial, by the way) and both networks’ refusal to air the commercial citing that it was too “hot” for prime time.

What are all of the Victoria’s Secret commercials classified as then? Wholesome family viewing?

Interesting. ABC-TV and the Fox Network have apparently made some concessions regarding their initial decision and have moved the commercial’s air time closer to the end of the “family viewing hour.”

Great timing ABC and Fox! Especially when there has been so much favorable publicity and advertisements about showing women of all sizes. And I am sure Lane Bryant is thrilled that you really helped boost their sales. (or did the LB marketing dept. plan this whole thing to focus attention on their commercial?) And, Ashely certainly does not need help getting more work. She is naked in Oprah’s magazine this month. But, I am sure you have boosted Ashley’s worth as well.

What do you think? Is it time for diversity training over at the two networks?

If so, I would be glad to assist.
