Boobs

Ladies,

What is the obsession with BOOBS? Can someone please tell me when a woman's breasts became an accessory for us to flaunt? I only bring this up because on tonight's American Idol, which was the Idol Gives Back episode, designed, like the Jerry Lewis Telethon, to make us feel a whole lot of guilt and then donate a whole lot of money to help poor, starving, AIDS and malaria afflicted children in the U.S. and Africa, Paula -- immediately following a video of her visiting a Boys and Girls Club -- stood onstage with Ryan Secrest wearing a dress that, well, featured a pair of the largest, roundest, firmest set of knockers that I have ever seen! Honestly, I could not even concentrate on anything else at the moment. Frankly, I gasped! And my ten year old daughter knew exactly what shocked me so much! It's a sad state of affairs, when my children who are aged 16 and under can tell when a woman's breasts are fake even though they have had no experience with the real thing since they were weaned.

Now, my own breasts are small. They used to be bigger, but I bore three children and spent a total of 5 full years breast feeding them. Now they are nothing more than a shell of their former selves. I would consider augmentation, but I am afraid I would wind up looking like some plastic surgeon's fantasy.

Last week Don Imus, thankfully, lost his radio show because of his rude and boorish behavior. How dare he call a team of highly intelligent, female basketball players "hos"?? But, why must we women "enhance" our breasts so as to look like the cover shot of an X-rated DVD?

To quote my daughter: "Don't they know that kids are watching?"
