Taking A Stand (Or, Not So Nice Rack After All)

Actress Kiera Knightly is saying no to fake breasts. She apparently has vetoed poster art for her new movie that enhances her bosom.

ABC News wasted a good five minutes on Good Morning America using this story as a hook to go out and interview young women about breasts. The reporter actually asked a woman why she thinks Hollywood does this.

Let me field that one. Men like big boobs.

And why did ABC do this story? Because they're run by boobs.

Don't get me wrong. Good for Ms. Knightly. But since ABC didn't have an interview with her or anyone in her camp or even a statement from her as far as I can tell, they used this story as to titillate rather than educate.

pride cometh before the fall. At least she doesn't have to worry about that. the fall.

Speaking of which: Pauline, one of my elderly patients with severe dementia, and known for her brutal candor, happened to spot another woman, Fay, similarly stricken, but at least having a good time shaking her bosom to the live entertainment. Quote of the day: "She's got some pair of hanging bullets."
