Top 7 Butterbodies List: Insulting to Women?

Spike.com named The Top 7 Butterbodies last week. If you don't know what a butterbody is, see the definition below. But please be sure to put down your coffee or drink before reading:

The true definition of a butterbody is a woman who has a beautiful face but a body that’s gone to butter. It’s like the butterface, but in reverse. If you are rich and famous, there is no excuse for being a butterbody. It’s your job to look fit and hot. Celebrities are not like normal people. They have the means to pay for a full time trainer and for someone to prepare their meals.

This is not a drill. This is a real article from Spike.com. Keep reading.

The list includes Liv Tyler, Tyra Banks and Salma Hayek to name a few. I am so angry about this article and it's just mean! Salma Hayek is beautiful, as are the other six women on this list. The ironic part of this list is that it was probably written by a man who couldn't get any of these so called butterbodies to look at him twice.

Catherine over at MamaPop wrote about Spike.com's Top 7 Butterbodies list on Friday and it took me four days to calm down enough to write about it. Read Catherine's rant about Spike's list at MamaPop if you want to know more.

But you must leave me a comment and tell me what you think of Spike's Butterbodies list. Am I overreacting? What do you think of this list?

Celebrities can feel good abou thei bodies without being size negative 6.They may like their bodies and curves,they may like their bodies in general.Who are we to judge anyone elses body.They may feel they dont want to work out excessively because they dont care to lose any weight and they are halthy already.He is a loser.

I don't even have words for how disgusted I am! Needless to say I will never be going to Spike.com.

Whoa. I would give my left foot to look like ANY of those women. That's absurd, but who would expect better from a channel that shows Girls Gone Wild commercials at all hours?

All of those woman are beautiful -- that dude must need mental help!

Let's face it folks --- people come in all sizes, and ALL SIZES can be beautiful.
It's sad that society would like us to think otherwise.
I'm glad I'm a big girl --- I'm proud that I'm loved for whom I am inside and not whom I am outside.
(I've had it both ways --- I'm more satisfied with being a big girl!) --- oh and my hubby thinks I'm HOT!

This is a headshot of the guy who wrote the article. I doubt any celebrity woman or "normal woman", as he so stupidly puts it, would even take time out of their schedules to piss on him, if his ugly ass was on fire.

What kind of loser would write something like that? It's degrading and disgusting.

"Gone to butter" is not what it means. It means "her face is beautiful BUT HER (butter) body is not." I first learned about it and was disgusted by it due to Howard Stern's "Butter Face" contests on his radio show and HowardTV. Spike is just copying off of things that worked for other artists and networks. The Spike channel (which claims to be the first network for men) is full of nothing but re-runs, shows no one watches any more and watered-down, boring, male versions of a few shows that they must have copied from Comedy Central. I'm not surprised about their list as their other programing is just as stupid and tasteless.
