Re: In today's news...
I... don't think I can really comment properly on this. It really made me cock an eyebrow and shake my head.
I mean I know that people have these body issues and everything, but why shove a bunch of plastic inside yourself? Maybe I'm just weird, I mean I don't even have pierced ears simply because I don't want to have metal jabbing into my flesh.
Whatever floats yer boat I guess...
For some reason that surprises me sin. With the occasional story you bring in about the parties you go to and the type of games you play, I would have expected you to like body art of some sort. Are you against tattoos as well?
Personally, I'm not a fan of any kind of body art - a second ear piercing is pushing it and anything more detracts from someone's natural beauty to me - so I can understand why not, it's just somewhat surprising.
But yeah plastic surgery is the worst. I really thought I'd finished being surprised by the depths reality TV could sink to.
Interestingly enough though, in the defense of reality TV, the other night there was nothing on and my fiance put on this one channel she sometimes likes, and "I didn't even know I was pregnant" happened to be on. We ended up half-paying attention to it over dinner, mostly to make fun of it (so fake, I'm sorry, but there's no way you gain 70 pounds and stop your period for 7 months and not realize you MIGHT be preggo), but I'm on the fence about it right now because I actually realized just how educational it is. I mean, teenagers are getting stupider and stupider these days, and this kind of ridiculous premise sounds like the perfect thing to attract a bunch of morons (specifically teenage female morons) and tickle their fancy while simultaneously educating them on the dangers/signs/processes of pregnancy. I don't know if that was the intention, but if it was, I want to pat the creator on the back and tell him/her "good job."
That said, fuck reality tv, and fuck the idiot americans who lap that drivel up.
