Another Random Internet Find

I was doing a Google search for something very, very different - manual hair clippers for use in India, if you must know - and inexplicably got a link to this video on boob jobs breast augmentation from a plastic surgeon's office in Bangalore.



I'm not even going to get into the whole women-getting-themselves-carved-up-as-objects-for-male-consumption thing. Twisty does a much better job at that than I. What struck me was that the background music they chose was Abba - specifically, the song "I Have a Dream". Okay, you say dream, I say nightmare, but fair enough.

Except that the song ran out before the end of the video and it apparently flipped over automatically to the next track, which was "Fernando". Which, of course, made me wonder if they were thinking up new lyrics to it.

Can you see my boobs, Fernando?
I remember long ago you said they were mosquito bites.
Full of silicone, Fernando,
I can play them just like drums while you are strumming your guitar.
You can hear them from around the block, even sitting in your car.


Come on, everyone join in!

They were swinging in the air that night,
To left and right, Fernando

A ghastly sight, Fernando

Ouch!"women usually have an enormous amount of happiness following this procedure." Does pain equal happiness in India?

I love the narration..."you can enhance your career opportunities through breast augmentation"...sometimes I just hate men.

as a woman who is naturally big busted (no silicone in MY girls!), this video makes me wanna hurl!

straight men never seem to admire a woman for her mind, only for her boobs and butt.

(sighs loudly)

PS - oh fork, my word is "supple"...like my girls...

PPS- I hate abba!

"It always improves their lives and improves their success in their professional lives."

Why do they even bother with all that? It is enough just to say, "you will have bigger boobs and a curvier silhouette." That would probably be enough for those considering enhancement.

Bring back the dog guts and fox poo!

My verification word is "haped", like "I haped to go in and got my boobs done, but I really wanted liposuction."

Hilarious. Maybe we were missing the point completely, uh?

I prefer traveling pushups, thanks.

Of course, I'm not flat-chested.
But I would like to avoid a rendez-vous between tits and knees.

Why, oh why, did I marry a leg man? A leg man who knows all the words to Fernando, no less....

"Improves the woman's personality" and "allows them to please their husbands more" just is too Stepford Wives! I'm like Anne Marie, and have spent much of my life trying to minimize them via clothing, good underwear, etc. If my personality was different, I suppose I could have taken some advantage of them... Here's what my auntie said when I was 13 or so

take those socks out of your bra Fernando.

So...

Come nestle your head Fernando
string your pearls for me Fernando


oops, sorry! getting carried away...
