At Least Something Is Real



Victoria Beckham is sending out her lawyer dogs against Now Magazine because they said that she stays slim through the use of pills and her sister smuggles them to Victoria from the UK. Oh sure, what? Our diet pills aren't good enough for you? Have you seen what our diet pills can do for you? Me either. I'm actually scared to take diet pills. I'll eat or drink anything known to man, but for some reason I just won't take a diet pill.

I know it probably will not be worse for me than a Red Bull, but I just have all these stories in my mind of people dying from ephedrine and so, rolling the death dice just to drop a few pounds off a 400 pound frame is just not something that is attractive to me. I mean, if I am going to go that route, I am going to go the coke route. At least if I went the coke route I would feel good, lose weight, have friends while the coke lasted. I would get to meet interesting people, and, I mean, who doesn't love a good nose bleed.

Anyway, Victoria says she is a role model to girls around the world and is hurt by the story. She doesn't want them to think that pills are the way to diet, but getting fake lips and breasts with permanently hard nipples is ok. See, that is what kills me about this. She is offended because she is a role model and doesn't want girls thinking she does it.

"Victoria takes her position as a role model to young women very seriously and is horrified by this hurtful, fabricated story. It is now with her lawyers."

I agree with that. So, why then, does she think that kids won't follow her example and get fake body parts? Has she ever come out against plastic surgery? Has she ever said anything bad about it or explained why she did it? So, she's concerned about a bunch of girls thinking they might take diet pills because she does, but she isn't concerned that she is encouraging girls to think the only way they can get a man is by making their body turn into some kind of anime barbie doll.

I'm sure it makes sense to someone, but not to me.
