Tyra's a model!

Tyra Banks has gone undercover as a 350-pound woman.
Banks wore the fat suit to experience what it's like to be obese.
"It seemed like the last form of open discrimination that's OK, and I decided to put on a 350-pound suit myself and live that life for a day and see what happens," the 31-year-old former supermodel told AP Radio in a recent interview. "And it was one of the most heartbreaking days of my life." Banks said she was shocked at the reaction.
"I started walking down the street and within 10 seconds, a trio of people looked at me, snickered, looked me right in my eye and started pointing and laughing in my face," the talk-show host said. "And I had no idea it was that blatant."
The segment will air Monday on "The Tyra Banks Show."
Banks, who had a sonogram on her show in September to prove that her breasts are real, is also planning a Nov. 18 segment on pursuing "a beautiful booty."
She will reveal her own "dimpled butt" and receive endermologie treatment on the set.

Whatever happened to talking on a Talk Show?
Tell her to go out as a Republican, Christian, Black woman and tell me that fat is the last acceptable form of discrimination.
Ask Clarence Thomas or Condi Rice.
I saw this done on another show a few years ago on TV. This womane dressed put fat person outfit and pretended she left her keys in her car - She kept waiting and NONE WOULD HELP HER! Men would pass her by or say NO they couldn't help her. When she got out of her fat outfit - she had NO PROBLEM getting men to help her open her car door.
News Flash: "Obese woman goes undercover as Tyra Banks."
laney, this has already been posted, too. Do a search before you post, please, or you will get some people screaming at you.
Probably because the outfit looked ridiculous.
Many people simply don't respect those that have obesity issues. Somewhat cruel I suppose but then again, would you think highly of an chronic alcoholic or druggie or gambler? It is human nature to judge others whether anyone wants to admit to it or not.

I usually feel sorry for them. They have a disease. I guess it's just me but I noticed I tend to prefer friends who are overweight. What you see is what you get with them. They tend to be more friendly and down to earth IMHO!
Sorry I did, I did not find this one either...I will look harder.
I just did a search on the word "tyra", and this article came up three times. How are you searching? Sometimes it is more accurate if you just use one main word to search.
"I started walking down the street and within 10 seconds, a trio of people looked at me, snickered, looked me right in my eye and started pointing and laughing in my face, saying, 'Check it out, Tyra Banks waddling around in a fat suit! Oh, where's the camera? Trya, am I gonna be on T.V.? Can I have tickets to your show?'."
On another note though, A 350 lb Tyra Banks, I don't want to sound like a weirdo, but that might feel pretty good. I mean, if she wasn't all sweaty ya know.

(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
Ewwwwwwwwww!!!!
Dude, there are flags all over you on that play. In fact, I'm gonna have to eject you for that one.
laney: Sometimes its easier to do a search by keyword (i.e. tyra, banks, Obese,etc.), then scroll down a bit to make sure it wasn't posted. I noticed that if you do a search by article title it may not pop up because some newspapers print the same story but under a totally different title. Don't sweat it. Besides you give the guys a chance to post Tyra pictures! ;-)
Thanks..Yeah I did figure that! LOL..
You're right. The other one was about her boobs. Very important stuff being discussed here!!!!
That ship sailed a long time ago. But now at least we have some insight into what kind of weirdo you actually are. ;-)
