Wow.
Remember that post I made yesterday about that stupid book that's all over the news? The one that teaches little girls that plastic surgery is painful and scary but will make you pretty so it's worth it?
Turns out the Onion already did it, and did it better.
Real life imitating satire, right down to some uncannily similar turns of phrase.

When I was fifteen or sixteen, my mother got a breast lift, and she made sure to encourage me that, someday, I could get one, too, if I liked. THANKS, MOM! But, hey, at least I wasn't THREE.
ReplyDeleteDear God, if I needed to be pretty to survive all the challenges life threw at me I'd be dead.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad my mother was a screw and not a plastic surgeon.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad my mom is a hppy fat italian and I come from a long line of fat women who are perfectly happy with their bodies.
Cus I'm insecure as is, if I had this book at three? I'd be cutting up my own face a-la crazy lady on CSI

ReplyDeleteI'm nearly speechless....
People wonder why I generally don't like the world - and this book is the answer. Gotta hurry up and teach your children they're worthless if they're not ideal. Make sure and do it before the evil space alien gets us all!
I'm glad there's sane people like you out there, Luka. ^_^

also, HOLY SHIT YOU CAN GIVE YOUR CHILD A NOSE JOB?!?!?! i didn't even think that was allowed! what doctor would do that? it's called growing into your features! cripes. how worthless would you feel if your parents forced that shit on you because you aren't pretty enough for them?
