I think you're missing the point though. Why would anyone judge a woman professional on "beauty"? She's not there to have an intimate relationship with you; she's there to do a job.

You criticize Peggy Agar as having a "less-than-perfect figure", which really is a kind way of saying "Fat, and *I* think that's ugly, therefore *everyone* else agrees." You also deny her the right to be "a little heavier than (she) wants to be" by cleverly superimposing your self-image opinion onto Peggy. You then criticize her hair because it presumably "makes her look heavier" . . . . Ah, to you maybe. All that is irrelevant to her job skills, yet she's on television, which you hint somehow makes her more required to fit *your* ideal image of female attractiveness. A very basic thing that you fail to realize is that your personal tastes and opinions, while valid, are not universal. The variation in women's weights and sizes is just as lovely as the variations in hair colour, hair styles, eye colour, facial appearance, height, and everything else. Personally, I find curvy, "cuddle-sized" women *much* more desirable than thin women. I'm serious when I say things like big hips, chubby thighs, a squeezable tummy, soft arms, and a rounded face, are very charming to me. Add big eyes, and a nice smile, and I'm lost! Starkly different than your opinion of feminine beauty, obviously, but no less valid. The tiny, fuzzy picture you post doesn't do her justice, but I find Peggy Agar one of the most attractive women on Detroit TV News. Jackie Paige (traffic reporter, Fox 2) is another very beautiful, curvy woman. Do some google image searches. Feminine beauty doesn't come from any type of "cookie cutter". You may want a world where all women were size 2, but demanding that would be as fair as me forcing a world where every woman was at least a size 18. OK, I’m going to lay into you as well.

Peggy Agar is, from what I see, a fine reporter for channel 7 and does a very good job for them. The comments about her hair, weight and appearance seem to come from those who need to find something wrong in others. If one would look closely they would see that Peggy is well groomed and dressed and is not at all shy about what she does in her reporting. Let us look to ourselves when we judge others and we will realize we are judging another good person in a very negative way. Peggy is a human being and deserving of all the respect that the rest of us are due. I say God bless Peggy and stay strong in the face of some nonsense that is from those who must find fault in others. thomas eby White Lake, Michigan I find most of these absurd comments about Peggy Agar down right insulting.

It does seem odd to me that the real Peggy Agar works in Detroit, but the comment above was posted from an IP in California. In case anyone needs to review the law about online defamation you can read the Electronic Frontier foundation's guidelines <a href="http://w2.eff.org/bloggers/lg/faq-defamation.php" rel="nofollow">here</a>. In the meantime, if anyone has any information about whether the above comment is genuine, I would appreciate an email.
