On the one hand, Rivers has as much right to bash Adele's appearance as Hills has to bash Rivers'. On the other hand, I love me a good rant.
applebapple
i work with teens. one of my girls really admired adele because "she didn't have to take her clothes off to make people look at her."

Joan Rivers is like the real life Cruella Deville.

All I read is "Oh noes this one person I don't know doesn't like this other person I don't know!"

Joan Rivers' shtick is to be offensive. That's the point. Reacting like this is stupid.
TheRoweboat
You can see my comment down below, to dexvddexvd, because it's basically the same thing you said.
johnyspot
I genuinely doubt he's as upset as he's pretending to be. I think he's pandering to the overly sensitive folks, by trying to insult Joan.
theacidplan
I said it before, Joan Rivers made a career off being a bitch, do you really expect her to be any other way?
drlazercatz
Yes, she's a goddam grandma; she should act like one.
bufferkiller
Is he not familiar with Joan's schtick?

A comedian said something mildly offensive? What a world.

It wasn't even offensive. It was funny.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Adele is by NO means one of the best role models on the planet.That is a Stupid thing to say.
slapmyassandcallmesusan
Joan makes fun of everything though, even herself.
TheBreaux
Yes, but this was a superb chance to get self righteous and OFFENDED!
LangdonAlger
If your daughter really cares about what Joan Rivers has to say, then I'm not sure if River's the one to blame.
Camelotterduck
I would be shocked if my daughter even knew who Joan Rivers is.
orrenman
fighting fire with fire, eh?
misspinata
She's perfect.
KBeau
This really annoys me because Adele is a terrible role model. Sing all you want, but don't support unhealthy habits.
KBeau
You're in the public eye regardless of if you want to be or not. Grow some lady balls and realize this.
babamulon
Fuck Adele. Tired of her crying in every fucking song. Like its the end of the world. Don't care how she looks, i hate those whiny songs.
BecauseIamBatman
Agreed. I don't care if she rolls in the deep blue sea.

i get it.. cause shes a whale :D right?

Joan Rivers was probably responsible for this repost

Everyone in their public eye is fair game...either we can make fun of everyone or no one
badapparu
That's a bold statement on imgur, let's see how it works out for you.
SingleNiceFedoraWearingClassyGuycautiondonotfriendzone
Exactly how I feel.
EdensEmbers
What's wrong with "no one?" Not being mean about stuff is an option too, isn't it?
noey718
I agree..but let's be realistic...comedians are going to make fun so everyone should be fair game...

I think this is one of the more intriguing arguments I've come across on Imgur. because I agree with both sides. I love it. :)
theANGRYTHING
Dam he sure got butt hurt.
SingleNiceFedoraWearingClassyGuycautiondonotfriendzone
Okay...People make fun of things all the time. Everything. Being ugly. Being arrogant. Being dumb. Being American. Why is being fat exempt?
TheKatsMeooow
Because we don't make fun of people for things which we also use to marginalize people.
qilphil
If you think it's ok or normal to make fun of people being ugly or dumb - that's your problem right there (and also arrogant).
SingleNiceFedoraWearingClassyGuycautiondonotfriendzone
It doesn't matter what I think. Society has a problem SPECIFICALLY with making fun of fat people, while so many other things are fair game.
qilphil
Society has a problem with making fun of things that are not easily remedied. like IQ, Race or looks. And rightfully so.
RambunctiousCrow
its a fact that this is normal behaviour. doesnt mean the commenter condones this kind of behaviour.
qilphil
Well if we don't condone it, we can easily decry it - and that's what Adam Hills did. In equal currency
RambunctiousCrow
he had more than 140 characters to spare, though
manchurianwok
Joan makes fun of public people based on how theyre discussed. Adele has talent, the media discusses her weight (generally positively)
manchurianwok
rivers made a cheap joke based on how adele is discussed. wgaf

I had to google Joan Rivers and saw pictures. I immediately regretted this decision.

Yeah, but... he's funny. I haven't laughed at Joan Rivers in the last couple decades.

I assume he would just throw his leg at her.
idrinkcheapbeer
Pretty much. No one on the planet was happier with this little soliloquy than Joan Rivers.
Clairebitchproject
Tbh, Joan is fucking hilarious and she's my role model.
danzafan37
She is a comedian. Most jokes are mean like that. Hers was just mean and not actually funny but it was an attempt at lampooning
fetusdumplings
I love Joan cos she funny. Adele has a good voice. If I wanted a role model I'd look in a history book. Tons of great women in there.
TF2215
Unpopular opinion: Adele is over rated and her size has helped her career.
TF2215
With that said I love her song in Skyfall
gegh
If her size has helped her career, that is a great change from all the "perfect" celebrities which sizes also have helped their careers.
TF2215
I don't think it is a great change. Just a change.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
She isnt even that good tbh.
yarfyarf
I don't get her staggering popularity at all. She's just a watered down, less interesting, easier to market version of Amy Winehouse.
TF2215
I wouldn't say that, I think she is a good singer but not to the extent everyone makes her out to seem. I absolutely loved "Skyfall"
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Ohh I hated that song so much XD
TF2215
Ahaha I just think it was a perfect Bond song
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Maybe had it not been quite so repetitive
NotAmused1001
I agree. Her four-note range really doesn't appeal to me. It's annoying, really.
TF2215
Yep and "someone like you" is just an incredibly whiny song.
NotAmused1001
I liked "Chasing Pavements," but the sad thing is I wished she would have been a One-hit wonder.
TF2215
I like "Skyfall," don't know if I've heard "Chasing pavements."
NotAmused1001
If was the first hit she had in the US. If you turned on a radio, it was there. Over, and over, and over, and over, and over.

Yes, yes. Imgur is a special snowflake. "Sauce" was invented in Imgur last week and totally hasn't been around longer than the whole site.

Isn't Joan that chick with the face that looks like it's been stretched and stung by a hive of wasps? Kind of trollish looking?

She's actually a hilarious comedian who was a trailblazer for women in comedy and has been working hard forever.

That would be Joan. Has the voice of gravel.

See, I don't like this. You don't like that she made fun of Adele's appearance, so you make fun of hers? Vicious cycle much?
OliverClothesoff70
Hypocrisy deserves a smack down to some extent. That isn't a cycle, that's closing the loop.
TheGayPenguin
I think it's more that he was just calling her out on her hypocrisy. Adele owns her body whereas Joan had to modify hers to be content.

Joan regularly cracks jokes about her plastic surgery decisions.

Yes, that's Jocelyn Wildenstein. She started plastic surgery as way to keep her husband interested (failed), then she went nuts with it.
ipissonyourparade
Unfortunately, yes.
voltron7812
i wouldn't really call Adele a perfect female role model, but she is very talented and successful.
LZYRMN
Yeah, I think people need to brush up on her before they start proclaiming her to be a great role model to young females.
hjf2011
Thank you! And yes: this douchebag is just clinging to over-politically-correctness, cause adele is fat. I'm sure there are plenty of (1/?)
vanewho
She's definitely a better role than most of the superficial females in the industry nowadays. Showcases talent instead of looks.
IamFartacus
"Watch me leave with every piece of you, don't underestimate the things that I will do." No one listens to lyrics. She's insane. 1/
IamFartacus
Followed by "Nevermind, I'll find someone like you...". This is an irrational person. It's also entirely independent of her weight.
voltron7812
i think people give her a lot more credit than is due just because of her weight.
IamFartacus
And because she sounds like a black soul/gospel singer, but is white. If she looked like she sounded she wouldn't be nearly as famous.
IDontUnderstandImgurNoMo
The conversation of you two amuses me, keep going.
hjf2011
other successful, talented artists that just happen not to be fat. And that doesn't make them any less of a role model or whatever.
msbilliejean
She's helluva better role model than Joan Rivers
voltron7812
i smell a lot better than a piece of dog shit, but that doesn't mean people should buy cologne to smell like me.

They would if everyone else smelled like dog shit.
GetToTheGate
It's a good thing he didn't call her a perfect one then.
voltron7812
but he did call her one of the best, which is a tad generous.
ldraptor
have you seen the pop charts lately?
voltron7812
no, i was referring to when he said she was one of the best role models. she is redoubtably one of the most successful musicians out there,

*undoubtedly
Berethian
Agreed, I think her songs are often very bad in terms of how she portrays people (and they irritate the shit out of me).

Atharaenea

Or also "How about you don't harass your ex via song for the world to hear?"
Berethian
BUT no one should be attacking her for how she looks. It's not relevant.
MyBubbles
That's literally Joan rivers job. Criticize peopl for how they look.
Peolinlives
Not only not relevant, but misleading. Adele is lovely and insisting she lose weight is just reinforcing the impossible standards.
baronridiculous
She's smart and in control of her own career. She's not cracked out, she's not flashing her hooch, she hasn't drunk herself stupid. Win.
MoonyWormtailPadfootProngs
Same with Taylor Swift but people love to hate on her
baronridiculous
I feel the same way about her. It's not about her music, it's about how she runs her life. Wealth is stress, it breaks some people.
corivscori
Standards for being a good role model are depressingly low for pop starts. I don't do those things & no one should look up to me, seriously.
baronridiculous
I don't really look up to anyone, but if you're going to look up to a pop star it should at least be one who's not an idiot, I think.
MyBodysNobodysBodyButMine
Why not? She's respectful, well mannered, humble and she's a decent human being. She's exactly who I would call a role model.
ImGur8
I don't want my daughter that stressed out over men issues.
shadowex3
Because over 2/3rds of Americans are flat out obese and we *really* need to stop enabling the idea that that's not a serious problem?
MorganMcJiggleson
Seriously? If you;re going to critique her, critique the content of her lyrics, not her fucking weight.
shadowex3
right because the fact she makes money singing means she's absolutely going to live forever instead of being unhealthy because of her weight
MorganMcJiggleson
What are you, the health police?
MyBodysNobodysBodyButMine
She's not American and neither am I.
shadowex3
Good for you, unless you live in sudan though odds are obesity is on the rise there too just less severely. Also Joan rivers is.
ldraptor
is what?
peridotstar
If people thought pop stars having unhealthy habits was enabling or damaging the public, where does that leave the stoners and drunks?
shadowex3
Depends if you're filthy rich or not. If you are probably leaves you in congress, if not probably jail.
peridotstar
ohh i meant the pop stars who are famous for that kind of thing--like lisa lohan and sharlie sheen when he was flakier then french pastry
