11. The thing is that people are losing notion of what real breasts look like

Between porn, men's magazines, Hollywood, TV, movies, and all the Barbie-like cartoon characters being manufactured by the plastic surgeon factories, neither men nor women know what women's real breasts look like, what women's real waists look like, what women's real bellies, and real faces are like.

The "ideal" look for women has become something rather scary, with a face like injected, plumped up, cut and sewn, like something out of Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, breasts that look like Jai Alai balls, and waists as emaciated as if they'd been transplanted from a frikkin' corpse. It's the new Frankenstein Monster ideal of beauty for women. Some scary shit!!! I swear to God I don't know how men don't shriek and run away in horror. I guess their eyes have gotten used to surgically-altered Frankenwomen.
