I love "thanks for playing." I used it long before the internet was the morass of pop culture it is today. And I'm not quite sure what "North Jersey" is supposed to imply other than its clear indication of the user's inflated sense of superiority.

But thanks for playing.

So I watched this Mtv show last night where these teenaged twins decided they wanted to look like Brad Pitt and they had all these cosmetic surgeries to try to look like thim. I'm not sure exactly how old they were, but thye were living at home with mom nad it seemed to me from the footage of them acting in school plays and the like that they were probably in high school. The kids were not good looking at all (weak chins, acne, huge noses, etc.), so I think that Brad Pitt was a bit ambitious.

Anyway, the show was pretty disturbing, and it made me wonder:

1. Who was paying for all of that surgery? Was it Mtv and these kids had some extra incentive to play up the Brad Pitt angle in order to get $20,000 of plastic surgery for free?

2. What doctor agrees to take two unattractive kids with delusions of looking like Brad Pitt and put them under the knife? I guess there is no "are your expectations based in reality" type of disqualifier? Both kids got big time nose jobs and chin implants. One of them also go cheek implants. They also both had their teeth capped.

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?

At the end of the show, the kids were headed off to get head shots done for their big time acting careers. I don't want to be mean, but I'll go ahead and mention that after all of the work, they were no Brad Pitt. I think that they will be sorely disappointed and I'm not sure those around them acted in their best interests.

What's wrong with waiting until you are an adult and can pay for it yourself to determine whether or not plastic surgery is a good idea? Unless of course there are medical reasons for doing it (the old deviated septum excuse).

Swing and a miss!

If we were able to pull up and search the Politics Board archives, we would discover that I was the one who invented driving the phrase "Thanks for playing" into the ground. In so doing, I also invented the general concept of driving pharses into the ground. All of your recent attempts to do so are derivative and, candidly, a bit pedestrian.

Brad Pitt had his share of acne so perhaps they were not as far away as you imply?

There were at least several other playas who perfected the general concept of driving phrases into the ground during the middle ages, incl. but not ltd to patentgreedy, penske, paigow and fifthyearslave.

fuck it dude

That response stinks, yet on the other hand it is not quite a "swing and a miss" because it exhibits a valid yet boorish sentiment, all of which leads to a conundrum of how to reply in a cliched manner.

In the interests of the board and not flaming, I think I have a solution. I have invented a new phrase for posts like yours, PP,

"Febreze it!"

If you're going to bitch about people recycling tired phrases, you should refrain from re-posting pictures of your prom date that we've already seen one time too many.

I've always been of the opinion that plastic surgeons who work on adolescents are about the slimiest form of medical personnel around. It really ought to be illegal, or at least a serious violation of professional ethics, to engage in this sort of behavior.

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.

When was the last time you ate some tobacco-smoked meats? Or hung around folks smoking some meatolated cigarettes?

Much as I'd like to think fringe was smoking some sausage, I doubt she had the pleasant aroma of jimmy dean in the morning.

I'll never tell.
