Are Clinton's inept attack ads and faux-feminism enough? Can Obama learn to attack? Plus: American eroticism devolves to Barbie boobs and Botox.
  • Barbie Should Look So Plastic

    The utter vapidity of today's so-called erotic imagery is indeed sad and disillusioning. Nothing is real, or at least can be trusted to be real anymore, and if it isn't then what the hell's the point? With faces lifted and botox'd with increasingly obvious and soulless results, breasts enhanced within an inch of surreal, and waxing up the wazoo (and all that increasingly going for guys as well as gals), it's all a parade of designer bodies stamped out by an uber-fashionista consciousness that seems ready to delete all humanity from our visual experience.
