Why Steroids and Not Breast Implants?

The This is going to be Big blog asks, “Difference between steroids and breast implants?”

* Both make a person look fake
* Both provide a physical advantage in the entertainment industry
* Both are tied to serious medical side effects
* Both are influencing younger and younger kids to have unhealthy self-images and seek out enhancement
* Both don’t really fool anyone

The blogger, Charlie, then points out, “But only one is the subject of a witch hunt at the moment. Can we get George Mitchell to investigate Hollywood and the modeling industry to find out who’s cheating?”

Hey, Charlie, you know why there’s no witch hunt about breast implants? Because it’s only women getting hurt - silly, vain women who are not sports heroes or stars, who couldn’t possibly be role models for anyone.

  1. Thanks for the repost… To be honest, I also think there isn’t enough outcry on behalf of other women. There were a lot of baseball players that were pissed that a guy doing ‘roids was taking his position.

  2. Charlie, you are right, of course. Women don’t speak up. But one reason is that that opens up a whole can of worms about bitchiness, jealousy, catiness, etc. The angry guy is righteous. The angry woman is a harpy.
