Comment on 5 Celebrities Who Should Not Be Allowed Near A Plastic Surgeon Ever Again by Yo Prinzel

I forgot about them!! Oh, Jenner is a real shame–I think he recently had some more surgery to help fix the original surgery but with a nose… what can you do? It’s funny that people can attain such wealth and popularity but still think that changing their physical appearance is a good idea. You know, if I had thousands of disposable dollars I might get a breast lift in a few years, but no matter how many things I don’t like about my face, I can’t imagine changing any of them to become a different person.

I vote for two guys who destroyed their handsome faces with nose jobs that made them too small and feminine for their rugged looks – Tom Jones and Bruce Jenner. In their younger days, they had women palpitating — virile, sexy, athletic and strong. Tom Jones apparently felt he had a “honking big” Welsh nose. Did any female notice? No! And what was with Bruce Jenner that he turned his face into something almost female…ish? I still remember his victory lap at the Olympics after winning the gold for the decatholon. He was gorgeous. Now it’s kind of sad…

[...] it most likely won’t end up as one of the most expensive restaurants in the world, I have to say I was shocked when I received my bill at a restaurant in Whistler, British [...]

well put billy. i hope my kids have their heads on as well as you. but to assume it’s not influential is naive. you are obviously intelligent and think for yourself but the fact is teens ARE targeted with so much media crap and it has influenced our nation over the last 20 years or so to a point that sex is a focal point in almost everything and as a teen most kids are influenced by all that is shoved down their throats.. which i think is what the article is SUPPOSED to be about _it just seems a little radical and not thought with youth in mind.. i’m with you that oppression is not the answer because as a one time youth i definitely wanted honesty and not oppression.. i DO believe we need to reign in the media atleast when it comes to public tv which is a major cause of the bombardment and set a lot more ground rules to what is appropriate and can be seen on family television – i am not saying ALL TV and ads but ones that children can view freely on public channels (ABC, Fox, etc.) and up to a certain time needs to be adjusted – pay channels not included.. most of all i’m with you – parents teach your children! YOu are the biggest influence in your kids lives (or should be atleast) and most likely they will end up like billy – educated, intelligent and can think for themselves..

Comment on US Switching From Analog TV Signals To Digital Signals! by jon

Great article. I’m writing a piece relating analogies to analog. I have a theory that the lack of analogies, and figures of speech, being taught in schools are becoming as obsolete as analog technology in mainstream use. I had mistakenly noted earlier that analog was different from digital because it travels through the air forgetting about the converter boxes, etc. I guess my main point is to connect the intense addiction to television with the lack of critical thinking analogies in education inspire. It’s not digital technology’s fault for the television addiction you note in your last sentence. I think it has to do more with our laziness to think for ourselves and depending on a boob tube for most of our information. Additionally, isn’t there something creepy that “private companies” have bought spectrums of airwaves which are no longer public property to transmit analog signals?

Seriously, lol. Lol at Eric. “The concept of sex anytime, anywhere is almost as dangerous as giving a kid a loaded gun.” Yeah, if you gave me a loaded gun I’d immediately go rampant and then kill myself, because I’m an adolescnet and that’s my human nature showing. NOT!

Think about it. Eric’s statistics, for one, have nothing to do with porn. And “Fatal Enjoyment” can be said about anything and everything. Because you’re going to die anyway. Hey, at least porn keeps people from wanting to have sex with actual people… your hand is a permanent companion that’s kept you warm and safe on those many nights when you stumbled into the wanking section of the internet.

I’ve viewed porn, I’m a teenager, and I have to say that it hasn’t adversely affected my life in any way. Also, I’m not addicted like people always say about pornography use. Hmm – I’m also neither blind nor hairy-palmed yet, I have stable and caring relationships with the opposite sex, and I’m not some sort of morally bankrupt idiot. However, I will agree that others can be affected by pornography, and that this can take hold of their lives for much time. I put this down to the society we live in, quoting Chris (above): “we are like walking,talking, consumer zombies, we need this car, that tv, that blu-ray player, that video game system, that computer, that business deal.”

It’s not even a concept of sex anytime anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!! Twisting words to put in the meanings that you’ve been conditioned to think by your controlling bodies – corporations, government, media. I think what’s being said is that sex shouldn’t be something that’s kept away from the light of normal, hidden and closeted but always near the mind, kicked away for fear of how others will view you, and then made criminal and unnatural. Sex is something that the entire human race needs to confront and be mature about. Enough with religious perspectives and doctrines, enough with this damn world’s lies!

Let us move forward as a species, as one world with many aspects to explore and learn from.

@Deb, I had not noticed the Chloe line–I’ll pay closer attention because that sounds cool!

@Jen, I’m lucky, no one in my family buys that stuff so I’m free

@Frank I don’t think you have to wait as long to see a wreck on HSN as you do in a race

Thank you! Sing it! And here I thought it was just me. The guitars are not my biggest target (I play guitar) but truly, the “Esteban” experience is… creepy. In fact, HSN and the home shppong networks in general are more entertainment than a place to go to buy anything. Sometimes it’s like a NASCAR race and you’re waiting to see a wreck.

My mom buys this kind of crap all the time. Really, mom….where do you think it’s going to go when you die? Not to my house!

I agree,that most of the products are kinda like last minute”please buy me “stuff that are in a slow cashier’s isle at a department store. Sometimes Chloe {a Project Runway winner} will have a piece on to sell and you wonder if its the same designer who created it!How ever every now and then they do have an item or two I wouldn’t mind having.And the sales people are so enthusiastic,they could sell you a bag of dung with a smile on their faces! I do think the rose painted guitar is pretty.
