Those people are idiots... if my arms looked like Mrs. Obama's I'd show them off at every opportunity.

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2009-03-28 10:48:52 PM  
fark that, that woman's got great arms.

 
strangeguitar 2009-03-28 10:49:16 PM  
Of all the pics I've seen, her arms aren't freakish. They just seemed well-toned. She should just focus on trying to keep those choppers in her mouth. It always looks like she's trying to ram large piano keys into an already full gym bag.

Jeannine Stein knows that Mrs. Obama could crush her like an eggshell.

Her arms look great, but of course they found the weirdest picture of her face they could to put in the article.

Michelle Obama is far hotter than some shiatbagging columnist any day.

Michelle Obama's toned arms are debated

F*ck you, internet.

I'll start by saying I'm no Obama fan. But this is the first time in the past 40 years or so we've had a vigorous, vibrant President and First Lady. I think most people are jealous of them because they're attractive, strong and probably have great sex.

/did this make any sense?

Yeah, Obama is a real attractive and successful African American.

that comment works better when the link for the vogue cover doesn't get tossed as 403 Forbidden too large.

That. Her arms look great, them horse teeth are another story.

You're a little bit on the skinny side and the MSM goes apeshiat. You're a little bit on the chunky side and the MSM goes apeshiat. And we wonder why women have serious issues with weight and appearance.

Writers who base articles on anonymous comments from unnamed internet boards should be fired, dragged behind horses, boiled in oil, then shot in the head.

Manly muscular arms? I take it the author never has done a GIS for "female bodybuilder".

It's bear arms. It was so obvious that if you took down a grizzly you could mount the arms on your wall.

Some say they're glad we have a First Lady who has a pulse and isn't a vacuous Stepford wife.

All we know is she's called The Stig.

Woman is Los Angeles, and she wants to argue against a woman being toned? Really?

Because in the US we just don't like strong women?

Please think of the white piano keys.
There's more of them and they are not played enough.

Hell, y'all, that kind of thin, muscly arm looks like she's some sort of lezzbo, don't it?

I would love my body 3x more if I had better tone in my upper arms... Still don't hide them, though.

Thanks for this important breaking news story, LA Times.

I wonder if journalists who write this shiat are proud of their work. Are they proud of getting that journalism degree so they can report on the First Lady's arms, or do they go home and drown themselves in booze because they always dreamed of writing the Big Story and instead they're doing this banal bullshiat?

 
King Something [TotalFark] 2009-03-29 12:32:50 AM  
There is nothing uglier than manly, muscular arms on a woman.

Okay, what about girly, feminine arms on a guy?

TFA: Read one online forum comment, "..."
"..." reads one Web headline


Holy new-cue-larrr facepalm, Batman.

I think someone at the LA Times needs to pay me to paddle this reporter's bottom bright, rosy red.

And to then biatchslap their editor.

TFA: ... are debated ...
... that [is] causing something of a commotion ...
... Her curvy biceps have become something of a lightning rod for remarks ...
... While some praise Obama as a role model ...
... more vitriolic comments have been aimed ...
... how much muscle is too much is entirely subjective ...
... though strong legs and a flat belly are often interpreted as sexy features ...
... that may be intimidating and unsettling to some ...
... Yet arms are the one body part women often don't mind flaunting ...
... The first lady's taut form may be forcing women to think ...
... The sleeveless season is almost upon us ...
... most women won't be hitting the weights ...


1) You cannot quote "some" as a source.
2) I hereby revoke your Passive-Voice License for a period of at least two years. Don't use it again.

I work and walk by their center on the east side here in NYC and I can tell you, they are biatshiat crazy. On the street level, they come off as level headed but I have talked to some of them and when they give you the bait and switch...it gets all Kahballa

Kabbalah has always fascinated me, but I've always viewed it as one step removed from Judeo-truthers. There's some downright wacky shiat they take as absolute truth.

Who's looking at Michelle's arms? I was focused on the other parts of her anatomy.

/Must be some arm-fetish dude.

I'd give anything to have her arms.

Or the rest of her body, for that matter. She's a great representation of what a healthy, strong woman looks like. We'd have a much more healthy teen culture if the girls wanted to look like her instead of some of the stick figures coming out of Hollywood these days.

My take on it is: If Hollywierd is game for this stuff then I'm all for it. When "1984" comes they will be neutered out.

There is something seriously wrong with people who complain about the first lady showing as much skin as their great-great-great-great grandmas.
