3. What kind of parent allows their minor children to get all this invasive surgery AND appear to be delusional freaks on Mtv during the process?

These sorts of rants always seem much less compelling when made by someone who actually sat through and watched the show.

Vote with your feet. Or your index finger. (I played XBox games all night yesterday, doing my part for the wealth of Bill Gates and certain nameless farmers in Humboldt County.)

The new men are women

Interesting article. Contains the following two statements:

'"Men, despite what most people think, fall in love faster than women do, probably because they're so visual," Dr. Fisher said.'

and

'In her study, which ignited a small firestorm, Dr. Chivers used a device to measure genital arousal in subjects as they looked at pornography. Heterosexual men, she found, were aroused by footage of men and women having sex. Gay men reacted to two men having sex. Women, regardless of sexual orientation, responded to everything.'

Why? I've already admitted to having voyeuristic tendencies (and, really, I think everyone who enjoys reality tv does have those tendencies). Are you saying that it is my fault that there are freaks out there who will do anything to be on tv? And whose parents will just sit by and let them do whatever they want? And that there are surgeons willing to do that sort of thing? I'm not buying it.

Did you just call me Coltrane?

BTW - what's JC up to these days?

I want to know what TF is up to these days? Anyone seen her? Come back TF. Your Thrashers won 1-0 last night. Celebrate, celebrate! All is forgiven.

OK, this is the worst smiley ever. In my limited experience, anyway. Unless someone has a Chandler Bing smiley.

As for the parents, it's just one more sad proof of the fact that you need to be tested and licensed to operate a motor vehicle, but any asshole can be a parent.

Yeh, everybody says this until they get a daughter with a nose like the cross dressing guy on MASH.

If my daughter wanted a boob job I'd tell her to get lost, but if she had a shnozz and it really impacted her self esteem, I'd get her the rhinoplasty.

I live in mortal fear of having hideous children. I can't even deal with having the wrong color paint in the living room. What do you do if your kid turns out to have a mug like Moe?

Yes, but we tend to fall out once that whole "talking" thing starts.

But thanks for playing.

Do you still wear your Members Only jacket?

Two reasons. First, you help provide the market, and the market (i.e., money) is the only reason people do this. Second, it's hard to believe that you find the whole thing so appalling when you sit there and watch it.

I think the idea is that you're supposed to love her anyway, but maybe if you continually make comments about her appearance and emphasize the importance of it while she's growing up, she will learn to express unmitigated scorn for everyone who doesn't maximize his or her aesthetic appeal, thereby enriching the world.

That is to say, she'll work on developing her character.

"Uh, this bag of gay porn? That's for my wife."

Do they include a picture of the genital arousal measuring machine?

Thanks. I always wondered who Gregg Allman was refering to when he introduced Stormy Monday on the Fillmore Live discs.
