Comment on When Did Nipples Become Unfashionable? by Siham

Siham — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 12:13:47 +0000

It’s not that nipples are unfashionable, it’s that as with all protrusions of the human body, in America, the population is confused as to what is acceptable as being modest. Plunging necklines showing breasts are okay, but don’t you dare have nipples! Being as naked as possible is okay on the beach, but don’t you dare show your private parts unless you’re on a nudist beach. Reveal as much skin as possible clothing, but don’t show your body outside the fabric. It’s always women’s bodies which are put into the spotlight in patriarchal societies just because men can’t be mature enough to understand and accept the anatomical nature of a woman’s body without acting like juvenile boys who are discovering the opposite sex for the very first time. Men always dictating what women’s bodies should and should not do, what is acceptably modest, what is not and all this dating all the way back to 2000 B.C. when it was perfectly acceptable for Minoan women to leave their breasts out in the open using corset-like garments to push them up!

Doesn’t that kind of remind you of the “It” machine that Mr. Garrison created on South Park?

I just Googled Acai because I’m just not cool and don’t keep up with the latest fads, so, I was wondering what all the hype is about. First thought that crossed my mind as I was reading this was that it sounded like an Oprah thing.

The guy pimping his book about this stuff is a dermatologist. Sure enough, he was on Oprah. Whoda thunk it?

He’s got some other nifty ideas:

copy/paste from wikipedia….

“The Perricone Promise”

Published in 2004, The Perricone Promise offers a new theory of aging circulating around neuropeptides, and focuses on an extensive diet intended to regulate them. He claims that the diet can be helpful in simultaneously losing weight and smoothing wrinkles, as well as improving one’s mood and decelerating aging. New topical recommendations are also included, the primary one being a neuropeptide-based serum exclusively sold by Perricone’s company that currently costs $570 per bottle (a 3-month supply), far more than any of Perricone’s other products.

Hi Joe:

I think you need to forgive people who confuse you with that other Joe. After all, “Joe” has got to be one of the least common male names in this country, right? Having the extremely uncommon name of Bob, I know what it’s like. I get this kind of thing all the time: “Oh, your name is Bob? Do you know Bob Woodward, or Bobby Unser? My answer: “Of course I know them, they’re both third cousins of mine. ‘Bob’ is an exclusive name that’s been used for generations in our family.”

I’m sure this guy is really quite bright and articulate — you need not look any further than his spelling to confirm this. I also get the sense that, in his personal life, our friend Gilligan here makes a habit of reaching across the “isle” to make nice with those who disagree with his political views.

Hilarious!

I wondered how often this happened when I first came here.

You should forward these to Scarborough for a good laugh…
