THE ISSUE: A Page Six cartoon that showed a heavy Jessica Simpson with Ronald McDonald.
***
Shame on you for publishing the hurtful cartoon featuring Jessica Simpson leaving Tony Romo for Ronald McDonald (Page Six, Jan. 28).
The poor girl is so beautiful, and she’s being ridiculed around the world for gaining a few pounds.
You are now responsible for many teenage girls’ developing eating disorders because of your lack of a conscience.

It is sad that in a world where we are trying to teach women to be strong, beautiful and healthy, you are running trash like this.
You have succeeded in making yourselves look like idiots and probably making a young woman extremely hurt.
This is the reason that little girls think they are fat and must wear skimpy clothing to be considered attractive.
I can take a joke, but this is just cruel.

Would you like your mother, sister or daughter to be publicly humiliated because they have put on a couple of extra pounds?
Clean up your act. We are in the 21st century.

Making fun of people who have these issues is not funny at all. The media have become so vicious to celebrities and anyone in the limelight.
Just because they make more money and are more successful than the average person, it doesn’t give anyone the right to demean them.
Simpson is a beautiful girl, and I would love to be her size.
Yes, I’m fat. Get over it, and get some manners.

As a woman raising a young girl, I was deeply offended by the Simpson cartoon.
How are we supposed to raise children to have self-esteem and respect if they see cartoons like this making fun of a woman who probably is a size 5?

I’m disgusted that The Post felt this was a funny cartoon. It is not amusing; it’s despicably mean-spirited.
Simpson is a talented singer who obviously has trouble maintaining Hollywood’s acceptable size zero.
It is time our society pick an obsession other than women’s bodies.
