You helped me zero in on a perfect psych senior thesis. During the first week too.
Is salon.com being invaded by freepers on the non-sequitor propaganda patrol? I think so....
"What has Obama Accomplished: NOTHING
He's an affirmative action baby.
He's accomplished NOTHING.
Except taking a dirty land deal from REZKO.
The Clintons are not stooges...and the Dem/Banker establishment has a new "creation"...a slickster who offers "hope" and nothing concrete.
This is what OPus is saying....

Dear LW,
I'm a lean AA myself and I have to say I felt the same way as you do.....until I started seriously looking at lots of internet porn.
What you say? How can woman-hating-abusing-objectifying porn help a girl get a better self-image?
I'll explain. Beauty mags and mainstream media only promotes one kind of beautiful. Someone as thin as I am, with giant boobs. These ads are targeted to women and men, in public, where status matters.
Porn, being targeted exclusively to men in the privacy of their own homes, where status (what other people think of them) means nothing, offers a purer version of what men find sexy.
They find anything remotely female sexy. A quick survey of the different types of women that entire portal sites are devoted to shows at LEAST some representation of the following...
Tall women, short women, fat women, thin women (sub-group, SPINNERS! Tiny women with no breasts so named because you can put them on your lap and spin them they are so small.....and yes they are adults), plastic women, all natural women, ultra-hirsute all natural women, scary women, submissive women, super-muscular women, nearly criminally young women, older women, elderly women, pregnant women, dirty women, midget women, men pretending to be women, midget men pretending to be women, etc ad nauseum. I mean it.
Men like women. Whatever you are, I guarantee some guy is out there looking up your type on a porn site somewhere and oddly enough thats a very comforting thought.
I never had (or have, but I have a SO now) a problem getting male attention. A lot of men have told me it isn't the size of the boob but the beauty of the nipple. Ask your boyfriend to tell you in detail why he likes you just the way you are and you might find that installing bags of plastic will mess it all up. I've had boyfriends who were very specifically turned on by small breasts. If I had gotten implants I would have lost their attention.
If that hasn't convinced you let me put it this way....
side-boob-ripples
"complications"
epic unsexy scarring
having to get them replaced every few years
being a female uncle tom (HEIDI MONTAG IM LOOKIN AT YOU)
only being truly appealing to scumbags, all the other guys will have to look past it.
think about it.
This strip erroneously assumes two things that the eugenics movement did as well
1) We can accurately test "intelligence"
2) Choosing who lives and who dies based on this (or any other criteria) is a good thing. All the scientists I've ever spoken to on the subject say the best thing to do in the doomsday scenario is to take a random sample. Genes and evolution are still so poorly understood....
