The editor or Cosmo UK is pretty smart. They obviously know she's a disgusting freak and to put something that outrageous on the cover of Cosmo is going to elicit visceral reactions and get people talking about Cosmo. Cosmo is garbage and probably is not doing very well at the moment. Want to remind people Cosmo exists? Put an outrageous pig on it. If you put a disabled thin pretty girl, people wouldn't really react to that, they'd look at the cover and say, "good on them" and walk on. But that's about it. The Daily Mail does this itself. They write some click-baity article like "Amy Schumer shows off her amazing pins" and it's pictures of some fat fugly Jew no one thinks is funny walking around in a bikini. The comments blow up "AMAZING!?!? She looks AWFUL!!" But the point is, people get angry, outraged and read it. Otherwise, if the article was about some model on the beach with her boyfriend some paprazzo caught, far less people would click on it. All of these magazines, shows, etc. are basically using this outragoues fat fuck to leverage their profits. It's grotesque, it's the circus side show. That's why talk shows and later reality tv became so popular. People watch to be disgusted and hate on the people. Granted, everything is scripted and fake, but the audiences don't care, they like to watch on with horror like gaping at a car accident.
