Quote:

Michael Bublé has been accused of body-shaming a woman while on holiday with his wife and 19-month-old son Noah, in Miami, Florida.

The 39-year-old singer left many fans unhappy after he posted a photograph which features an unidentified woman's backside in the background, with the singer noting: '#myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami'

The photo shows a close shot of Michael in the foreground, with his arms crossed as he sports a form-fitting blue, V-neck T-shirt.

Behind him, a woman at the counter sporting a pair of revealing booty shorts.

'There was something about this photo lu took ,that seemed worthy of instagram,' Michael noted of the shot, taken by his wife, Luisana Lopilato, 27.

The father-of-one followed that remark with a series of hashtags, in case it hadn't been clear what he was talking about: '#myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami #picoftheday #beautifulbum'

But while the Haven't Met You Yet singer thought it was a harmless joke, plenty of followers on Instagram and Twitter took quite the offense to the photo.

Michael was bombarded with angry messages, such as one Twitter user who wrote: 'That's someone's daughter, dude.'

He has since responded to the controversy in a statement to UsWeekly, saying: 'I do not court controversy, but I realize that a photo that was meant to be complimentary and lighthearted has turned into a questionable issue.'

The Canadian star added: 'It hurts me deeply that anyone would think that I would disrespect women or be insulting to any human being... I regret that there are people out there who found the photo offensive.'

'That was not and is not my intention. Women are to be celebrated, loved, respected, honoured and revered. I've spent my life believing that and will continue to do so.'

It remains to be seen if the star's apology will be deemed acceptable by fans, such as one Twitter follower who called him out for not respecting the woman's privacy, noting: 'You made sure to get her permission before posting, right? And that she's not a minor? Way to keep it classy.'

However, they were not the only ones to hit at the performer's reputation, with another Twitter user commenting: 'yep. let's humiliate a stranger. Stay Classy, Buble.'

Despite the vitriol, Michael has continued sharing emphatic shots from his vacation, later posting a photo from his visit to Facebook and Instagram headquarters.

'Guess where I just visited ??? Nope not Disney...but my second favourite place in the world !! #facebook #instagram #headquarters #Miami #like #picoftheday' he wrote, along with an enthusiastic photo.

How the hell is that "bodyshaming"? He seemed fond of it with "#beautifulbum".

[Grange]

Because twitter feminists want something to complain about. Anything will do.

[jariel]

This is a joke.

Those shorts are the style here.

Any Miami chick with some ass will wear them out in public knowing that her cakes are on full display.

These are latin women, they know the deal.

The thing is, for me, I would have noticed the ass, but I wouldn't have done a double-take, big asses are all over this bitch, and she falls somewhere between a 7-8 on the booty-o-meter.

Wouldn't surprise me if it at some point she or someone who knows her comes forward to inform everyone of who she is.

And Napoleon has won another battle.

Feminists must be blind and socially retarded to not see that this is a compliment directed towards a woman with a firm and shapely ass.

Here's a clue to answer that question. This is from the Twitter account of the broad who said "You made sure to get her permission before posting, right? And that she's not a minor? Way to keep it classy." And she's from Toronto.

Damn sounds like onion booties grow on trees down there in Miami...

Feminists are neither blind nor socially retarded when they criticize a man for appreciating a woman's firm and shapely ass. They know exactly what they're doing.

Yes, they bloody well do, mate! You get desensitised out there. I went out raving with the Nomad once and that lizard Jenny Scordamaglia came up to ask me where I'm from. She's with Miami TV and she ALWAYS has her tits out. I swear I thought I was on some porn shoot the amount of ass in that place...

Sucks that he had to give up and apologize.
This guy has been swimming in pussy, success and money for over 10 years, he's now married to some hot Argentine model (12 years younger), had a kid with her and his shows are constantly packed with hot milfs from all over the world.

And yet, red haired feminists found a way to get his attention.

[TigerMandingo]

I know probably in the minority on this but I'd rather girls, no matter how hot they are, didn't dress like that. What happened to summer dresses? I wanna be able to discover that a girl has an incredible ass AFTER I take her clothes off. These hoes leave nothing to the imagination.

This is an example of what I really don't like about uptight Anglo culture, down in Colombia, nobody would give a shit about this and would just agree that its a nice ass, end of story.

[The Lizard of Oz]

Damn, this is such a simple and wholesome scene -- a Miami pastoral, really. Between the dude's exceedingly meek and mild salaciousness, and that plain, stolid, workaday young Latina booty, clad in the most appropriate garb in the world, with its pony tailed hair placidly waiting its turn in front of that mystically beautiful counter like the kind of heifer she is... it's a scene right from the middlemost of life.

It makes me feel bad -- for once -- for these Year Zero monsters with their thin and pinched ideology... if they can't simply appreciate the immense everyday charms of this modest scene for what they're worth, they are living a kind of death-in-life; the world itself is dead to them, seen only through the harshly delimited lens of ideological approval or condemnation. How terrible.

[kaotic]

Outrage....because feminism.

This is the only thing you need to understand about what she's wearing:

As for consent in taking her picture:

Face is not being shown.

What about the security cameras and public cameras on streets ?

Bitches will cry about anything these days.

Fuck. I can't stand these prissy white girls who are proud to have no ass.

Not a Drake fan, but I love his line "so thick that everybody else in the room is so uncomfortable." Plenty of (white) people would feel uncomfortable around a sexy feminine onion booty.

I've never listed to Buble's music, but in interviews he seems like a cool guy. Here's a few photos of his wife:

Must be an American thing. I doubt Europeans would feel the same way.

I think this is an aspect of this topic that we have a tendency to neglect. We may be giving too much credit to some of the people making these inane SJW arguments. Many of them may not actually have a coordinated plan or any decent understanding of the impact their actions might have on other people. Rather, some of these people probably really are just socially and romantically retarded. That's it - they make the inane arguments they do because they just lack the basic interpersonal intelligence necessary to see where they go wrong, and they don't have enough romantic experience/intuition to really understand how contrary their views are to normal human sexual relations.

We've already seen photos of some of the people making these comments:

What are the chances that this person simply hasn't had a lot of experience with normal people in the context of normal romantic interactions? What are the odds that she just hasn't been socialized well enough to understand the nuances of normal, healthy human sexual relationships and interaction? What if she isn't self-aware enough to realize this (probably the only thing that would allow her to make valid observations absent good socialization)?

She may have had plenty of sex with more than one boyfriend, but if those boyfriends and all those she interacted with were similarly disconnected from reality/poorly socialized, then that makes no difference - her poor socialization would only have been reinforced by her exclusive association with other poorly socialized people, and she'd still never have understood what constitutes normal, healthy socialization.

If all of the above is accurate in the case of this woman and those making similar critiques, then would you be at all surprised that such an individual could come out with an argument that stands so contrary to fundamental romantic realities?

Think about it. What else would they do? How can you make a critique in line with normal human socialization when you've never been socialized well? When you've been blinded from the start, how can you be expected to see properly later on?

I suspect that the issue we're dealing with here regarding these people is one that runs deeper than we think.

He also said in that song

And the part that got me made

"Ass on Houston Texas, but the face look just like Clair Huxtable"

Houston got some pretty bitches!

WIA

I think this is the kind of woman he was talking about:












That line about the "BBW" definitely got some of these obese females strutting a bit (and Drake knew it would - that's savvy marketing, I respect the hustle), but it definitely wasn't directed at what we would normally consider a "bbw".

[AntiTrace]

I went to a buble concert once. I thought his name was Micheal "Bubble".

Awesome concert. Dude is a real entertainer. Classy as fuck and you can tell he has mad game.

Because "The goal of feminism is to remove all constraints on female sexuality while maximally restricting male sexuality" -- Chateau Heartiste

ANY expression of male sexuality is now considered offensive by feminists. He expressed male sexual feelings toward a female. And he photographed her and put her on display for sexual purposes. Without her "consent" even though she's totally anonymous! OMG!!! All these things are considered feminist "sins," a concept brought to you by academia and enforced by your local HR department, school district, and the social shamers on Twitter.

Feminism is like Catholicism but worse. In Catholic schools and churches, they scold everyone for any expression of sexuality. Feminism has the same rules, but only for men.

So when you hear people talk about how some feminists are cool because they're "sex positive," don't fall for it. They're "sex positive" so long as the expression of sexuality is coming from them (stripping, burlesque, sex columns, fetish porn, etc.). But the second that a man expresses any type of desire or -- God forbid! -- acts on it, they go as crazy as the nun who monitors the eighth grade dance and catches a couple freak dancing.

Perhaps this can all be summarized as "We can display, but you can't look." Whatever the case, Buble seems to have gotten unexpectedly burned by this. Maybe more people will wake up after seeing the sheer stupidity of the feminists who took him to task.
