Yes it is a fact, at this point, but these guys seems to be making a start at trying to change a preconcieved idea of beauty and kudos to them for it. I am larger (and before you ask no, not telling you how big, but I often refer to myself as a fat chick) and I see nothing wrong with this as long as it is done with taste. It seems like these men are taking it seriously and trying to make a point that beautiful doesn't have anything to do with big or small. This is no different then having a special beauty pagent for an ethnic group or a lifestyle in my opinion. Frankly I see this as something great. It is showing that people can be valued and judged by different standards of beautiful. Think what a great message this is sending to kids, you don't have to fit a stereotype to be beautiful.
