(Warning: I get a little snarky here.. it happens when I get fired up.)
I read a couple things in the paper today that just have me questioning the sanity of the world.
1. Fig leaf underwear
Ok, let me explain. I'm sure you are all aware of the hubbub going on regarding the airport security scanners and invasive pat down searches. I, for one, don't really care and would go through a scanner if it means getting me to the plane to get to my destination faster, but that's neither here nor there. I know my mom is a big hater of these things, as are some of my friends. That's not what this is about.
I'm sitting here, mouth agape, over these:
Apparently, some (genius?) guy is trying to capitalize on the effects of terrorism on the American people and making airport undies. The leaves are made of this powdered metal that prevent the scanners from seeing your naughty bits, but are form fitting enough to still show if you have a bomb stuffed down there somewhere.
Hooray?
I didn't think this was real at first, but rest assured, it is. The placement doesn't really seem all that right to me, and yet I'm wondering if they make a matching bra. If they don't, I just gave you a kick-butt invention idea!
2. Bridalplasty
So. Yea. E! has a new show where brides-to-be compete in random competitions to see who will ultimately win all the plastic surgery they could possibly want and never afford, AND get their wedding paid for on top of that. I guess it doesn't really matter that they'd walk down the aisle and their future hubby wouldn't know who the hell they were. And it just gets better, since Shanna Moakler hosts it. I mean, I'm all for crappy "reality" TV (hi, actually watched 2 episodes of "My Big Friggin' Wedding".. it's ok to judge me) but this? Is taking it too far in my opinion. These poor girls probably have issues bigger than their ideal breast size, and I don't think a show or Dr. Terry Dubrow (of "The Swan" fame) will do much in the way of helping them. To each her own, I suppose, but I just wanted to air out my personal opinion on the matter. I think, in a way, I just promoted a show that I have no intentions of watching. Oh well.
That's all for now. I had an amazeballs (love that word) weekend and would love to write about it very very soon, but for now, I'll leave you with this:
I'm already lol'ing ;)

Haha, we should have known someone would try to profit from the body scanner crisis. Also, I hate reality shows like that. Its just another way for TV to let us women know that we aren't perfect.
Too funny, as I was reading this all I could think about was The Swan... here, have some plastic surgery to make you pretty - then we'll judge you and tell you you're still not good enough. awesome
I agree amazeballs is a fabulous word. We should all use it more often.
And the fig leaf undies... I don't have much to say.
Wait....they can see my cooka? WTF?! No one tells me these things! Ordering leafy panties now.
I am your newest follower! Those undies are pretty darn funny!
@Smiling Hooray! Thanks for following!!
