Is not worthy of anyones attention.
Because this is exactly the same kind of moronic non-news he and his ilk cover on their programs.
It's not news. Hell, it's not even a trend!
Not worth paying attention to this.
You'll find all sorts of depraved activity in the world of human beings. The Internet makes a lot of this more public. But not more noteworthy.
End of world is nigh. This have for be most inane waste of Svutlana time today. Love me Broadsheet too much, but boob punch is trend too far that Broadsheet inadvertent promote with this post.
Anybody punch Svutlana boob, even accidental, get Svutlandian knicker knot.
that just about smells right to me.
Had to view this with the sound off - maybe they used these terms already. When I was a kid in the 70's we had "purple nurples" and "titty twisters." But this always involved preadolescent boys trying to twist each other's nipples off. Apparently some teen girls are as stupid now as we were back then.
men have been getting kicked in the junk for centuries
Umm...so the G4 host is being classless for calling breasts "funbags" - but you, in contrast, are being classy in calling a man's genitalia "junk"?
Pot, meet kettle.
I'd write more, but I'm about to write the lyrics to "Taint-ed Love" - a ballad about a heartbroken woman and her itchy perineum.
Take care, Sarah - and thanks for the mammaries!
Classy Wolf
and so is your column.
The equality of stupid, inane behavior, that is.
Not only have clips of men getting hit or kicked in the groin long been a humorous staple of shows like America's Funniest Home Videos and of other TV shows and movies far too numerous to mention, but there's also a thriving adult subculture online (and in video/DVD form) of ballbusting, which involves women hitting, kicking, stomping, pounding, pinching, squeezing, twisting, smacking, and otherwise hurting male gonads.
The "boob punching" is a minor and mild phenomenon by comparison, and rather unworthy, I'd think, of Broadsheet's attention and censure.
because of the blatant sexism of boob punching that one woman somewhere on the planet experienced.
For "boob punching" to be entertaining, women cannot be delicate flowers who so weak/meek/childish that they must be protected -- by men -- from all forms of danger.
For "boob punching" to be entertaining, women's bodies must be something less than shameful.
For "boob punching" to be entertaining, women's breasts much be something more than just sex organs.
Equality includes the classless and the crass. Otherwise, women remain the purer sex, the fairer sex, the delicate sex.
And who wants that? Not me, certainly.
So, Ms. Hepola, thanks for getting the joke and sharing it, even if I don't personally think that it is funny.
Nice to know that asinine comedy is gender neutral, folks.
WRONG.
I can guarantee you getting kicked in the nuts is much, much more painful than a boob slap. None of the women in that video keeled over in pain... a pain that slowly spreads to the rest of your torso before dissipating several minutes later...
Any excuse to see more of Ms. Munn is OK in my book!
Like...whoa. Boobpunching, eh?!? A few years back there was a "trend" called CUNT-BUSTING. I won't elaborate, but it involves sore, throbbing ladyparts, as well as swift kicks and/or exploding balloons (you get the idea)! You can find numerous sites devoted to it but I don't think it became much of a trend, nor do I think this so-called boobpunching will. Still, good post.
...um....er
words, uh, words fail...um.
Don't know where to.... uff.
Begin? End? Gack.
Well in the immortal words of that dismal Brit science show we saw over and over again in the 70s, "What will they think of next?"
This is all happening in a universe that doesn't seem to have much connection with mine, is all I can say.
People actually watch Attack of the Show?
My wife and her friends have been punching each other in the boobs for years. I'll see if I can record it next time they're together.
This video encourages violence against women and girls which is a terrible problem in our country and in the world. This is not funny. There are images of males attacking females in the video. Some posters here say this subject is not worth talking about but violence against women is a serious problem causing lifelong damage and death for some women and girls and the sexual aspect of this trend encourages rape.
There's still debate on the subject, but some researchers feel there may be a link between traumatic injury to the breast and the later development of some breast cancers.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12131664
I'm speculating here, but it could be that the trauma creates a scarred area in the breast tissue that does not drain well and becomes a place for environmental toxins, etc to pool and damage cellular function.
Of course, overall lifestyle/environmental factors and genetics are much more common as causes of breast cancer, but honestly, why engage in something so asinine if there's even a *chance* of increasing one's risk?
Although I agree with you that anything that encourages real and serious violence against anyone, male or female, should be discouraged, this is really inane, cartoonish stupidity (kind of like the Jackass show and movies) rather than actual malevolence directed at women, and regardless, there is far, FAR more entertainment that depicts violence against men, whether cartoonishly stupid or not. Should we howl with outrage every time some movie or TV show airs footage of a guy getting racked in the nuts? We'd never talk about anything else.
Do I think "boob punching" is funny? No, as I'm not moronic and I'm long past puberty. Do I think it's entertaining? Hardly. Do I think it's a positive thing? No. Do I think it's evil, or that it's encouraging rape or domestic violence? Oh good grief. Please.
It's just another of the myriad stupid, "extreme" entertainments that unfortunately permeate our culture right now, nothing more.
