Howard Stern is really giving Rush Limbaugh a run for his money in the Repulsive Sexist Douchebag Department.
On Monday, Stern complained about Girls — a national pasttime, to be sure — and his chief complaint is that Lena Dunham isn't pretty to look at onscreen. She's faaaaaaaaaaaat.
"It's a little fat girl who kinda looks like Jonah Hill and she keeps taking her clothes off and it kind of feels like rape. She seems -- it's like -- I don't want to see that. I learned that this little fat chick writes the show and directs the show and that makes sense to me because she's such a camera hog that the other characters barely are on. My opinion, if I was a producer on that, I'd say, 'Honey, you're a little too close to the project. You need to allow the other characters to breath a little and let us get invested in them.' Good for her. It's hard for little fat chicks to get anything going.
A producer interjected, "She thinks she's brave," to which Stern replied, "Brave? I'm brave! I'm lookin' at her!"
Translation: your blubber is offending Howard Stern's eyeballs, Lena Dunham, so give Brian Williams' hot daughter more camera time. It's really a lot like a violent sexual assault, when you think about it.
Dunham handled the douchebaggery with grace and aplomb and an affirmation of Stern's First Amendment right to be a scumbag.
She told David Letterman on Thursday night, "I did find out that Howard Stern really hates [Girls], which I'm a Howard Stern fan, and I believe he's earned the right to free speech and he should go for it. ... "I wanna get it on my gravestone where he said, 'Congrats to her (Dunham). It's so hard for little fat chicks to get anything going these days."
You can watch a clip of Dunham and Letterman joking about it below.
I'm not even a Girls fan, but fat-shaming sexist asshattery just makes me want to support Lena Dunham just to fuck Howard Stern.
