137. i was born and raised in iowa, my cousins go to shawn johnsons gym, i rooted her on every moment she was on the floor. i cried with her when she finally got a gold medal. but when i saw the comparison photos, I LAUGHED MY BUTT OFF! why? because i have a sence of humor. some people need to lighten up. she does look like a mouse or rat. she would probly laugh too if she saw the pics. i was told i look like a girraffe when i was her age. i laughed it off. now i collect girraffes. lol...

141. Since TMZ still feels it ok to exploit and humiliate a child for entertainment, I have notified TMZ's and AOL's local child protective services, child protective agencies and child protective advocates of thier actions as well as the advertisers of TMZ and AOL who support such actions and issued formal complaints. TMZ and its twisted readers who feel it ok to exploit a child for entertainment purposes, must realize that just because you may think it funny, does not make it right. TMZ, AOL and it's advertisers must realize there must be public consequences when you exploit and humiliate an innocent child for fun and profit.

TMZ could have just let this go and let Shawn Johnson get on with her life, but they had to add salt to the wound and exploit and publicly humiliate her again.

I think it funny that this time when TMZ puts back up the comparison pictures, they fail to leave out calling her a little rat like they did in the original comparison or even mention the fact that most who were against the comparison were so because TMZ called her a little rat in the orginal piece. If TMZ saw nothing wrong with what they originally did, then why did they leave out calling her a little rat this time? Because they are trying to save face this time around and make it seem like they have not crossed a line. TMZ knew it was wrong to call her a little rat and that's why they did not do it this time so they did not look as bad as before.

I urge all the people out there who agree with me what TMZ has done is wrong, to contact local child protective services, child protective agencies and child advocates in TMZ's and AOL's areas of operation and inform them that TMZ is publicly exploiting and humiliating a child, Shawn Johnson, for profit.

Also, I urge all of those that agree with me that what TMZ has done to Shawn Johnson is wrong to contact both TMZ and AOL advertisers with your complaints.

TMZ and AOL must realize that just because making fun of and exploiting a child for fun and profit is ok to them and it's twisted readers, does not make it right or ok.

144. YOUR POLL IS SO OBVIOUSLY RIGGED.

And I'm sure half the positive emails were staff writen. What a bunch of turds you are.

145. 1. The poll is rigged.

2. The emails were written by your staff.

3. Harvey spent most of his life lying about his sex life, even to his own family. Why would anyone believe that turd now?

146. Shawn is 16 and should be protected from your TMZ smut. I mean really, SHE IS ONLY 16. Get a life guys. Something really isn't "funny" when it is intended to make fun of someone else. If it was grade school kids doing this it would call it BULLYING. STOP IT.

147. the comparison between the two is funny and cute, all the people that have said otherwise need to get the stick out of their ass

148. TMZ this was funny and true but i think that why everyone got mad was because she is barly 16. TMZ you guys still rock and keep up the good work.

149. Well i think it's hilarious, i don't get why people get so mad for such a small thing, she can be an athlete and all but it doesn't change the fact THAT SHE LOOKS LIKE TOPO GIGIO and really.... it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny.
Well done TMZ.

150. They both look so much alike idk why every one is tripping over such a little comparison.
I think she needs to grow up and take it like every other celeb would.
