Breast Augmentation: Worshipping a Falsie God

dailymail.co.uk — They're weird, vulgar and men don't even like them. So why do 26,000 British women a year disfigure themselves with breast enlargements?

  • Kryptonitfusion, on 08/01/2008, -20/+33Its such a long article to read...oh wait there are pics to go along with it. ahhhh
    • sanman, on 08/01/2008, -19/+4boobs rule

      I've gotta complain against this rampant hatred of women who want to look hot

      The fact is that men love boobs, and I don't think women should be discriminated against for going the artificial augmentation route. It's like sneering at people who adopt because they don't have natural kids.
      If anything, I'd give those girls more points for trying, and for bothering to care about what men like. Women with big fake boobs are more likely to try harder in bed.


      • dissurmom, on 08/02/2008, -4/+3That's the most idiotic comparison I've ever heard.

        Don't discriminate? Are you suggesting we try to find something attractive that instinctively is not?

        Fat chicks are hot too... And zits! I loooove zits.
      • sanman, on 08/02/2008, -4/+4You're summarily declaring artificially endowed women to be unattractive. Speak for yourself - I disagree. Fake boobs are just fine; it's the thought that counts. Women who weren't born with large breasts but who want to give that look to their men are perfectly entitled to do so, without sneering mockery.
        Hey, there are some girls who don't need makeup, but if others choose to wear it, then they're entitled to without being given a psychiatric evaluation. Freedom of personal expression.
      • ixid, on 08/02/2008, -1/+4"Women with big fake boobs are more likely to try harder in bed."

        You've never felt fake boobs. It's not nice.

      It's like a tiny-tot skirt and grandma's drapes.
  • skewl, on 08/01/2008, -29/+31So many young women choose this surgery and are very happy with the results. But when they get sick, they don't make the connection between the implants and the bad symptoms they're experiencing.
    • dcmjzero, on 08/02/2008, -6/+37are you a lawyer or something? the silicon lawsuits where a joke with junk science. there is no proven link.

    • zombies187, on 08/02/2008, -4/+13Over 35,000 women per year are diagnosed with breast cancer in England. Over ten thousand per year DIE from it. So roughly 25,000 women per year SURVIVE breast cancer. Often at the expense of having one or both breasts removed. The vast majority of those use some kind of enhancement to reclaim their lives. Couldn't it be that the majority of ALL breast augmentations are done BECAUSE of sickness?
      • Tomchei, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1If anything, women with breast implants get an increase of white blood cells in the area.
        It is said that it may reduce cancerous buildup but there hasn't been any research done to prove that.
      • MtheoryX, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2@Tomchei:

        "It is said that..."

    • msheidi, on 08/02/2008, -1/+2they are not anti gravity as the article said, the augmentation will sag after time.

      they will have to be redone depending on the individuals age when she has the surgery

    • wavesmachine, on 08/01/2008, -3/+76yea, I'm a C Cup kinda guy... but I can agree with you on not liking fake boobs. I'd prefer them flat than fake.

        Ha. That's what my college roommate used to say.
    • Lythium, on 08/02/2008, -0/+17I never understood why any woman would want anything larger than a C-cup... Speaking from experience, your choices in clothing become severely limited with anything larger, unless you don't mind looking like a complete skank. They're also a pain in the ass when doing upper-body exercise, and they get sore when when running even with a good sports bra on over a regular one. Implants, hell... I'm looking into reduction once I have a kid.

      And for the crowning irony: my husband is like you in that he likes small breasts. I was a B-cup when we started going out *cry*
      • cowsgonemadd3, on 08/02/2008, -14/+1You have a donkey?
      • teamgwho, on 08/02/2008, -2/+6not to mention that the bigger the cup size, the more likely you have to go specialty shops to buy a bra. And that always means more $$$.

        Not to mention they weigh a lot and do a number on your back from what I've heard.
      • moderatestaples, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2Naturally a D and have always had trouble finding things that fit nicely. I'm with you on this one.
      • vkeiko, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2yes, the only button up shirt that I can find which doesn't gape is around $175. But Rebecca and Drew is amazing for thinking of selling shirts in bra sizes (ie, you can order a shirt in 34D, not just "medium")

    • w33zy, on 08/02/2008, -13/+11to be perfectly honest....

      but some firm B's and perky nipples...mmm mmm.

    • cliffzdude, on 08/02/2008, -2/+1Firstly cup size is not the end all, a taller woman with a D cup can look the same chest wise as a shorter woman with a B cup. Secondly, as a father and older Gen-X'er let me tell you the story changes once a woman has has children. Most women I know, or know of who had implants did so to regain pre-childbirth boobies, in doing so a bit of size increase comes with the procedure.

      A 24 year old woman who has nice perky B's is silly to get implants, I'll agree. But a 29 year old woman who has had two kids, and watched her perky B cups go to drooping A cups? That I can understand...

  • thisguy457, on 08/01/2008, -39/+14Whoa, whoa, whoa there BETHAN COLE (chick - i.e. "probably is a member of the itty bitty titty committee" - oh yeah, I went there) - "Men don't even like them"? Ummm, what guys are you talking to? Fake titties are GLORIOUS. Not only are they huge, awesomelike and double as a camping pillow, they tell the guys around you that you're kinda whorey and will probably put out if we pump you full of enough liquor.

    • WhiteRaven, on 08/02/2008, -1/+3I for one don't like them. Also, I tend to think any woman that has "augmentation" (aside from reconstruction after necessary surgery) has at least minor psychological problems.

      While we're on it, collagen injections for lips almost look worse than fake *****.

    small breasted women can be more spontaneous with regard to activities.for example they could be going for a walk and then see some friends playing soccer and just join in instead of having to run home and strap themselves into sports bras.
    • sgtpppr, on 08/02/2008, -2/+80Cause you never do know when an impromptu soccer game or kung fu match could break out.
    • dawesdust12, on 08/02/2008, -2/+6Indeed. As are these "size 0" (North american size) girls too ***** skinny, a size 5 or 6 is even more gorgeous, because they atleast have curves, instead of looking like a logical OR (|| for non-nerds).

      How the universe is so ***** up at the idea of "a perfect girl".
      • Lythium, on 08/02/2008, -2/+8Size 0 is generally referred to as "anorexic." But even size 5 is still "someone give that poor girl a sammich."
      • dawesdust12, on 08/02/2008, -0/+0I guess, yeah. I just used 5 and 6 as an example, the main point I was trying to make is that a girl that is in those low digits, is regarded as too damn skinny, and actually results in being ugly, rather than "beauty".
      • queenstarsha, on 08/03/2008, -0/+1some very lovely women are tiny by nature or because they get a lot of exercise, not because they starve themselves. calling size 0 women ugly is just making a different set of women feel bad about themselves. and it's not true! my future sister-in-law is tiny and absolutely gorgeous because she has super-demanding athletic hobbies.

        ugly's really and truly on the inside, folks.

      • ngmcs8203, on 08/02/2008, -4/+9I disagree. My wife has Double-D's and once we're done having kids, she's looking to decrease, lift and use implants to make them even. I WILL NOT be complaining.

  • solesoul, on 08/01/2008, -18/+76What is this about men not liking them? We don't like them when they're OBVIOUSLY fake. We don't wanna see some 110 lb girl with 36DDs, that kinda thing should stick to porn. But if a 130 lb girl who has a small chest bumps up to a C cup, nobody is complaining.

    Protip: Its all about the ratio ladies.
    • RobotBuddha, on 08/02/2008, -1/+12It's the false breast fallacy rearing its head again. You only notice fake breasts when they're bad, therefore it gives some people the impression that implants are always obvious and unrealistic.

      I hate the assumption that women are even doing it for male attention anyway. Most women I've known, when they mention any dissatisfaction with their size, only reference it in terms of what clothing they can wear or back pain. I've never heard "Wow, I wish men looked at my chest. That's never happened to me!" Hetero men tend to not be very picky about breast size, we're equal opportunity leerers.
      • TVarmy, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3So, I thought women got reductions when they experienced back pain from breast size? I don't mean to be ignorant, but how do implants improve that?
    • teamgwho, on 08/02/2008, -5/+4Big boobs belong on BBW's. Period end of story. size f and g's on a chick with a 24 inch waist look freakish. On a bbw they look quite all right.

      You know it's true.
    • geoken, on 08/02/2008, -8/+2Too bad. Your horribly misguided pre-concieved notions are making you miss out on a lot of decent people.

      Most women I know with implants, including my wife, see it as just another thing they do to maintain their appearance along the lines of having their hair cut and working out. Assuming you live confortably enough that the cost is nominal, I don't see why it should be looked at any differently.

      Why is their this arbitrary line that separates acceptable and un-acceptable forms of body modification? I understand there is a difference between superficial things like make-up/clothing and surgical procedures, but why does it make you insecure if you don't consider the surgical procedure to be a big deal.

      Assuming a person puts the procedure involved with implants on the same level (in terms of intrusiveness) as a tattoo, then why does having it done equate to insecurity?
      • teamgwho, on 08/02/2008, -0/+10there are many different reasons to get a tatoo, ranging from an outward expression of love for >insert significant other/favorite rock band/favorite whatever< to a desire to shock or simply "be different".

        When you get a boob job, it says "What I have isn't good enough" Maybe you feel you need it to more easily attract a man, or get a promotion, or get noticed. Whatever goal it is, you need this to achieve it. That speaks of insecurity. Now there's nothing necesarily wrong with getting a boob job. If it helps that person then great.

        But sometimes it doesn't.
      • SonOfDisaster, on 08/02/2008, -2/+3I agree with that... theres nothing wrong with wanting to feel better about your appearance. People get braces because they want their teeth to look better right? Attractive people are generally treated better so theres your incentive. Its not always an issue of insecurity.
      • solesoul, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5@sonofdisaster
        Braces are for tooth correction. There isn't really a "correct" in terms of breast size so the braces analogy doesn't really apply here.
      • DelMonte, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2"Why is their this arbitrary line that separates acceptable and un-acceptable forms of body modification?"

        When stuff is inserted under the skin, is where I draw the line personally, and I don't think that this line is that vague or arbitrary. It's a pretty big step to choose to go under the knife and have stuff inserted under your skin, and like it or not, it takes a "special" personality to voluntarily choose this kind of operation.
      • geoken, on 08/02/2008, -3/+1I'm not saying the line is vague, I'm saying it's subjective. There are people who put ball bearings under their skin because the consider that 'line' to be pretty insignificant. Most people I know with implants consider it more temporary than a tattoo and frequently reference some future date were they will remove them. Their tone paints this whole process (insertion and subsequent removal) as inconsequential.

        The problem with your arguments are that you're painting the whole process as a huge, complicated, difficult procedure therefore undergoing this procedure requires some special motivations. Basically you guys are saying that the lengths someone is willing to go to for beautification is inversely proportional to their self esteem. In some situations I would agree with that, although there are a lot of other reasons (ask my wife or one of her co-workers [aerobic instructors] whether their ability to keep in shape is related to the popularity of their classes and by extension their demand/wage). Anyway, even assuming everyone engages in beautification solely for their self esteem, there is still a large variable in the equation. The 'lengths someone is willing to go' is not an absolute value, it's completely subjective and dependent on the person. If I grew up around a circle of people who considered braces to be extremely invasive (not to mention painful) I might say anyone with braces has gone to great lengths to make themselves look better and is by extension void of self esteem. The fact is that some people consider surgery such a non-issue, that there really isn't a difference between implants and braces on the 'lengths someone is willing to go' scale.

        The basic differences between your arguments look like this;
        You: Wow. She went to great lengths to improve her looks. She must be pretty insecure.
        Them: I had my braces done, I don't see how this is any worse or more painful so why not.
      • geoken, on 08/02/2008, -3/+1"Braces are for tooth correction. There isn't really a "correct" in terms of breast size so the braces analogy doesn't really apply here."

        'Correct teeth' is as arbitrary a term as 'best breast size'.
      • DelMonte, on 08/03/2008, -0/+1"I'm not saying the line is vague, I'm saying it's subjective. There are people who put ball bearings under their skin because the consider that 'line' to be pretty insignificant. Most people I know with implants consider it more temporary than a tattoo and frequently reference some future date were they will remove them. Their tone paints this whole process (insertion and subsequent removal) as inconsequential. "

        Having a low self-esteem is not something subjective, it's a fact. If I think that someone has a low self-esteem and he doesn't, then I'm simply wrong. We might argue about the definition of "low self-esteem", but it's not that hard to settle on a common definition, unlike for terms like "beauty" where the definition is by itself intrinsically subjective.

        My point is that people that don't mind altering the integrity of their own body by brute force (ie. knives) generally have a low self-esteem, so your argument about people not caring about having ball bearings inserted under the skin or people being casual about having implants inserted and then removed just reinforce my point. If these people actually seemed to care about the integrity of their body, they would by extension show some esteem of their body. You know, kids that carve things in their arms using razor blades also think it's "inconsequential". But don't you think these kids have a high chance of having a low self-esteem?

        "Basically you guys are saying that the lengths someone is willing to go to for beautification is inversely proportional to their self esteem."

        I don't know about the others, but I'm not saying that. It's not about the lengths someone is willing to go, but rather about the means that they're willing to use. Different means have different implications and different significations. Teeth are an external part of the body, and can move around if you apply pressure for some length of time, in itself it's a natural process that's responsible for crooked teeth in the first place. Having braces just reverses a process that gone wrong. Moving teeth doesn't alter the integrity of the body. Breasts implants are not at all related to the process that prevented them to grow enough, and most importantly it involves altering in a significant way the integrity of the body.

        If there was a special bra that made breasts grow over time by applying pressure at some precise points, I wouldn't have the tendency to think that women using it have a low self-esteem. There would be more women using it from many different backgrounds, instead of those who don't care that much about being cut open by some surgeon.

    • Lythium, on 08/02/2008, -1/+4As I wrote above: large breasts are annoying and painful to live with. They can also put extra pressure on the spine (much like a potbelly, or the stomach during pregnancy). If you love your wife, you should value her comfort and well-being above your own prurience. Just my opinion.
  • OGTK423, on 08/02/2008, -14/+28I wouldn't say men don't like them.
    • BIOHazard87, on 08/02/2008, -3/+9I don't, and many people I know don't, but that's not a very large sample size :P
  • eltardo, on 08/02/2008, -12/+42Who the hell said men don't like them? I like natural over fake but if a boob job is done properly and not outrageous... you can't really tell. I've been photographing models for over ten years now, I've seen some truly horrendous boob jobs but I have also seen some that you would have sworn were real.

    I'd say this writer is, as the brits would say, a twit.
    • greeniemeani, on 08/02/2008, -2/+9Oh, so you're a photographer?

  • TecK415, on 08/02/2008, -15/+62Size A titties> Fake titties

    Really, if you're a fit girl I'll love any size of boobs you might have. Breast implants are a HUGE turn off.

  • ShadowFox06, on 08/02/2008, -18/+13Didn't realize that us guys wouldn't mind if every woman was an A-cup.

    What a moronic writer.
    • chanelgal, on 08/02/2008, -3/+7I'm a A cup...grow up !!!
      • fantasticjon, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2I don't know. Its kinda bogus to say that just because people are a certain way naturally makes that desirable or preferable. I mean people naturally have really gigantic noses sometimes. People naturally go bald. That doesn't make it bad for them to want a nosejob or to use rogain. I mean if your happy with A sized *****, then more power to you. But that doesn't make men who like C sized ***** bad, any more than it makes women who like men who are not bald bad. Everyone is superficial to some extent.
    • xrod, on 08/02/2008, -0/+4I'd rather every woman be an A-cup than every A-cup get implants. *****, I'm glad it's risky, painful and expensive, or I expect most women would do it. And that would really, really suck.
  • rosekevin, on 08/02/2008, -11/+14raise your hand if you immediately googled "jodie marsh" afterward.
  • a2z22a, on 08/02/2008, -10/+6I am dissapointed with the comments in this.
    :waits to be dug down:
  • seantubridy, on 08/02/2008, -5/+13They're weird, vulgar and men don't even like them. That's why we're writing an article about them, because we know men will read it. Even though they don't like them.
    • xrod, on 08/02/2008, -0/+4Well call me crazy but I'm a guy, don't like them and I read it.
  • dnite, on 08/02/2008, -2/+15This, like most things in life, is very subjective.. It all depends on how they look. We've all seen TERRIBLE looking fake ***** and that's what they always base these type of stories on, but what about the good looking ones? I've seen fake breasts that really do look real. It all depends on the doctor who did them and the size. You can't slap GGG boobs on a chick who's 5'3" and weighs 102 lbs. You really shouldn't slap that size of breast on anything, but a nice size that's proportionate to the body it's on that's done by a doctor who knows what they're doing will yeild some VERY impressive results.
    • DelMonte, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3I don't care if they look good or not. To me they're still plastic bags inserted under the skin, and I find this disgusting.

      That's my personal opinion, and I'll probably get dugg down, looking at the tendency here in this thread, but I think that many of you guys are really working hard to fool yourselves about it. Remember what leads to these: they take a knife, cut open this wonderful work of nature, then insert some synthetic stuff in it.... Yuck!!
  • DangerCollie, on 08/02/2008, -2/+15Put me in the "don't like" category. They don't feel right. Natural is better, even if they're a little small. Don't get them for us, if you want to get them for yourself, that's fine. But don't do it to try and impress the male of the species. We're just happy to see them, little or big. The attitude and person attached to them is much more important than the size.
    • jowSithm, on 08/02/2008, -0/+7"The attitude and person attached to them is much more important than the size."
      This For The Win!!

      /in the end, it's all about the mind!
    • ravamp3, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2Now thats a comment I can truly agree with. Well said
  • chrysalis, on 08/02/2008, -17/+5Vulgar? Weird? Men don't like them?

    Please stop it.

    There are many good reasons to have breast augmentation.

    First, they have no reason to be vulgar nor weird unless they are excessive. They can look very natural. You see tons of them everyday and you never notice.

    Many clothes are designed for ladies with breast. Without a decent breast, the clothes don't fit the same.

    After having children or after time, breast often shrink. Ladies can feel as if they have lost something. A breast augmentation fixes it.

    Men *say* they don't like them, just as they say they don't like girls with makeup. This is what they say, but it's definitely wrong. The girls they look at (or dream of) have big boobs and wear makeup. So stop lying to yourself.

    Women without breast feel bad. That's stupid, but the "standard" is having big boobs. Breast augmentation make them feel better and get more confident. It's very likely to change their life. How can't you figure that?
    • twishart, on 08/02/2008, -1/+4Did anyone else find it weird he kept using the singular form of breasts? I don't know if it's gramatically correct, but iALL GLORY TO THE UNIBOOB
    • queenstarsha, on 08/03/2008, -0/+1boobs don't shrink after kids. they undergo terrifying changes of some sort, as i understand it in my still-childless state. but shrinking is not part of it.
  • lmp49, on 08/02/2008, -7/+35Go ahead, give me a thumbs down for saying this, but I'm a 22 year old male, and so about as horny as a rabbit in heat, and even I don't find enlargements attractive.

    All natural is the way to be.

    • xrod, on 08/02/2008, -0/+9Buried. Not because of your opinion, which I happen to share, but because your profile says you're 24.
  • EmiliaGarcia, on 08/02/2008, -5/+20Maybe it's just because I'm a lady, but I never understood the sex appeal in having boobs that were bigger than a guy could successfully grab with one in each hand. You squeeze too hard and you'll hurt your ladyfriend.
    Then again, I'm sure lots of you sick minds have reason for "bigger is better" that I don't want to hear about anyway.
    • NegativeDigg, on 08/02/2008, -3/+0Interesting, Can you elaborate? what would be a good boob size to squeeze ratio?
      • EmiliaGarcia, on 08/02/2008, -2/+5Well, I have 36Bs, and while they may look small... they sure do feel great!
        And isn't that every man's goal? The ultimate, shall we say... touch-down? Because, let's face it... you probably won't be staring when you're close enough to be groping.
      • NegativeDigg, on 08/02/2008, -4/+1hmm, what do you do that makes them feel great? touch-down? what do you mean by that.
      • bluesatin, on 08/02/2008, -4/+0@EmiliaGarcia
        You readily let guys grope you? o.O
      • EmiliaGarcia, on 08/02/2008, -1/+3Yeah, all the time. Here they are. Come get it. ...





        No.
    • Quizboy, on 08/02/2008, -2/+1I haven't actually done a survey or anything, but I would guess that the idea that men like big boobs is a false one.
  • OC73, on 08/02/2008, -5/+32I'd rather have a girl with a small pair of real ones than a big pair of fake ones--and I'm a boob man.
  • urbandistrict, on 08/02/2008, -11/+6"By BETHAN COLE"

    Sounds like someone is at the hater's parade sippin' on the haterade...

    Who would these "hollywood names" be without augmentation? Answer: Regular "here today, gone tomorrow" hot chicks.

    Augmentation prolongs the careers of the short shelf-life *****-bunnie. These type of females will always exist, unless you devise a way to hack our primal instincts. Take heart that for every 25 Pamela's there is an Alba.
    • chaoswings, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3Well those in Hollywood are meant to be photographed and video taped. The article mentions how we prefer to look but don't care to touch. I can honestly tell you from experience that fake boobs don't feel as good as they look.
  • airencracken, on 08/02/2008, -4/+19Fake breasts are hideous and disgusting. I tend to prefer smaller breasts and anything over a D cup is probably too big for me. I think A cups and B cups are probably the best.
    • SwervinMervin, on 08/02/2008, -2/+1Any more than a handful is wasted? Men have been loving more than a handful for eternity. But I digress. Its really the presentation that matters.
  • danthepiercer, on 08/02/2008, -5/+13i dont find fake ***** the least bit attractive.
    i understand if women want to get it done. i just wish that more women realized how unnatural, freakish, and unattractive they really look.

    as my pappy once told me as we shared one of those beer commercial moments..."boy, anything more than a handful is a waste!"
  • WheezyMustafa, on 08/02/2008, -7/+8I heard someone say that as long as you can feel them, they're real.

    I love boobies, fake or not, personally.
  • mohsenxp, on 08/02/2008, -4/+3I hate fake titties, not least because they are ruining my hardcore porno!
    Ban them for this reason alone.

    Seriously though, ALOT of girls are so misguided in thinking that men find fake ***** attractive. I can't blame them however. I mean every successful beautiful female celebrity eventually goes under the knife. What's a poor girl to think?
    I was reading about how Angelina Jolie was 'putting off' plastic surgery for a while. Putting off? WTF? Is it like mandatory and she's just decided to postpone the inevitable? Sickening.
  • digitallysick, on 08/02/2008, -2/+8Perky boobs with nice shape are better than huge boobs to many any day.
  • zigardne, on 08/02/2008, -7/+3if you can grab them they're real
  • zigardne, on 08/02/2008, -5/+1haha wheezy beat me to it
  • D14BL0, on 08/02/2008, -2/+15I'd sooner have sex with Keira Knightly than some skank like Jodie Marsh.
  • erhanaltay, on 08/02/2008, -6/+4Poorly written article with not even a charade of objectivity. The title alone proves as much.
    • Lythium, on 08/02/2008, -1/+4It's well written - it's just not a "straight news" article. It's clearly an opinion piece, and does not claim to be anything else (otherwise the writer would not have referred to herself in the text). Opinion pieces absolutely DO NOT have to be objective.
  • wheresmclean, on 08/02/2008, -0/+7Proportion, its always about proportion. No woman looks good and natural with giant boobs.
  • RoSoDigital, on 08/02/2008, -0/+8I like real titties
  • roach, on 08/02/2008, -12/+9The daily mail can speak for themselves, I like fake boobs.. mmm.. so firm..
  • luz001, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5lol to "I felt like I'd been slapped in the face." because it would've been SO HARD for her to quit staring at ladies in the locker room and return to her daily business.

    also: keira knightley is so ***** hot; she's the only reason I watched domino.
  • copypastry, on 08/02/2008, -3/+2When are cell biologists going to try stem cell breast augmentation? It seems we've been jamming rubber into chests for 50 years almost... how passeé. it's time for the future!
    • queenstarsha, on 08/03/2008, -0/+1yes, let's stimulate breast cells to grow uncontrollably for men's sexual gratification.

      oh wait. that's BREAST CANCER.
  • GrodyChamp, on 08/02/2008, -6/+7Pretty stupid blanket statement by the fem-nazis to say men in general do not like them.
  • ProjectGSX, on 08/02/2008, -5/+3This is a pretty lame article, in my opinion. I think we should be making ALL women feel comfortable with the size and shape of their body. So what is the point about trying to make women feel BAD about doing something that they did to feel GOOD? Just retarded.

    And where the hell did they get this factoid from? "men don't even like them"

    Some men dont, sure. But generalities of this nature are unbecoming for a news source. Get it together guys.
  • molezooka, on 08/02/2008, -11/+6Any woman that will go under the knife to increase their sensuality is the sexiest woman around. Since when does GQ speak for men? Isn't that a closet gay magazine?
