Britney Fat-Bashed at Celeb Site

This video shows Britney Spears practicing dance moves for a new song of hers. The video is unremarkable. It shows a pretty woman who has had a baby doing some dance exercises. Every straight man I've ever known would think "that's a nice looking baby mama there, that is". 
 
What's remarkable (but sadly, not unusual) is the incredible fat-bashing going on in the comment thread attached to the video.
 
"Britney should give up on trying to look sexy and just embrace her new image of 'beached whale'"
 
"Big booty = more balance for spins...staple the stomach, please"
 
"Oh my god how much do you guys think she weighs- seriously.... I'm gonna guess 140.... that's being nice."
 
"Brit's doing a great job of getting as fat and foul as Anna was prior to the latest drug addictions."
 
"It's like watchin a WHALE chase a TicTac! "THERE SHE BLOWS""
 
And so on.
 
I hold no brief for Britney Spears or for celebrity culture in general. But it is sickening to see the contempt that these people have no compunction about pouring out in a public forum. What kind of mentality thinks it appropriate to crap on other human beings like this? Knock it off, knuckleheads; you're forcing me into agreement with moonbats, and I hate being in agreement with moonbats.
