Recently, as Revelist points out, the shithead sports website Barstool Sports posted an article, from writer Chris Spags, that, in gross and unfunny fashion, called Rihanna fat. Here’s a charming sample quote: “A world of ladies shaped like the Hindenburg loaded into one-piece bathing suits may be on the horizon now that Rihanna is traipsing around out there looking like she’s in a sumo suit.”
