This was just posted on Buzznet.

Apparently, a girl and her friends all applied for F'N MTV tickets, and she was the only one who didn't get any.

She wondered if it was her age, or her race, but realised that no, she wasn't that much different from her friends - so she thought, hey, maybe it's my weight.

She re-applied, lowered her weight and changed the photo so it was more flattering - and was magically accepted.

All I can say to that is, what the fucking fuck, MTV?

WOW. That is fucking appalling. I know Muchmusic in Canada won't let you get tickets for any of their events if you're over 26, but they definitely don't discriminate against your weight.

I'm just really pissed off with the world in general. A friend of mine went to Warped in Miami, and when she went to GCH's meet & greet, Travie pretty much ignored her and wouldn't give her a hug because she's not skinny. When she asked for a hug, he said no, but then she saw him giving hugs and laughing later to skinny scene girls. :( That sickens me. Ugh. GRRRR.

I know. I lost all respect for him because of it. And apparently Katy Perry is a total cunt too, she was really nasty to my friend.

Ugh. I have no interest in her, but Travie I'm really disappointed in.

Same here. I never pegged him as the type, and it really saddens me that he's a judgemental asshole. She said the other guys in the band were super nice, and she was initially just hoping that Travie was maybe having a bad day, but still. There's no excuse for that kind of behaviour.

I'm not skinny or pretty but I've been lucky that all except one person I've met have been super nice, but that one guy is a fucking asshole anyway so I pretty much expected it. If any of the members of FOB pulled that shit on me if I met them, I would so call them out for it.

Me too, dude. They'd have to have some fucking audacity to do so anyway, given that Patrick is hardly svelte and Joe has quite the tummy (and bum!) on him these days.

I love Gabe, and all the Cobra guys (Victoria less so), they're so warm with everyone. They're how bands should be to their fans.

It's disgusting, but I'm not surprised. There are very very few fat people ever to appear on MTV. Look at the real world cast members in example.

Oh media. You are so fair and non judgemental..

Whoever is responsible for that needs to be fired right now. I hate the way we perceive weight these days. Everything is so fucked up about it.

what the fuck?
poor girl, that must be really horrible for her. And ive looked on her photo's, she's really pretty.
Doesnt really give a great impression to people does it?

Nope. I mean, I weigh like 14 stone, but I have a 32" waist. Your weight does not necessarily reflect how fat you are, you know?

I could definitely stand to lose some, but I'm not as fat as people would assume from those numbers.

Someone, a few entries back, posted a similar comment on the MeeLikey--how they noticed that a lot of the prettier, skinnier, promiscuously dressed girls were up front and with different wristbands. I have no clue if it's the same person but either way, it's really fucking disheartening.
