Gathering Storm: Miss California Trying to Redefine Traditional Breasts for the Rest of Us
This is too good

<snip>
Oops! Heaven, we have a problem.

A recent revelation -- and not of the Biblical variety -- surfaced this week that the prodigal princess had breast augmentation surgery, approved and funded by the Miss California Organization, just weeks before the Miss USA pageant. One has to wonder how the beauty queen has the credibility and moral standing to speak out against "unnatural" and "un-Biblical" marriage with the same breath that is weighted down by "unnatural" and "un-Biblical" implants filtered through $10,000 worth of "unnatural" capped teeth.

Of course, Princess Prejean has a right to her religious convictions and no one should ever lose a beauty contest over speaking those beliefs in earnest. Miss California also has the right to do whatever she chooses within the privacy of her own bra, but she doesn't have the right to redefine traditional breasts for the rest of us.

For many thousands of years, across every culture and continent, women have known traditional or "natural" breasts to be those that God -- or nature -- gave them. To think otherwise flies in the face of millennia of human history and spiritual doctrine. Prejean's Bible repeatedly reminds us we are made in God's perfect image while warning us against exchanging the "natural" use of our bodies for those deemed "unnatural." And, while one could argue the rights to privacy and personal freedom are inherent in our nation's founding democratic principles and that every American has a right to his/her own life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, organizations like NOM -- for whom she's now a spokesperson -- Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council repeatedly admonish us that life in America would be better if theology and biblical doctrine were the primary determinant of civil law and personal liberties.

5. Thanks to Perez Hilton
Carrie Prejean is a beloved celebrity and more famous than the girl who won Miss America...whoever she is.

9. Are they same breasts or opposite breasts? Because in my country, breasts are natural.

12. "Jugs for Jesus"
Oh, laugh out loud. That has tee shirt potential. This ridiculous women and her standardized rw hypocrisy could be a living stand alone statement of how twisted and wrong homophobia/hatred is.


On another note, I'll never understand the obsession over breasts, or the current fashion of silly looking implanted breasts. Not my business what other women do though.

15. J4J = Jugs4Jesus Oh my! Funny stuff!"
So, Carrie, you may find full civil equality for all Americans to be "unnatural" and not "Biblically correct," but, frankly, neither are your Jugs4Jesus and your Caps4Christ. "No Offense!"

18. That show how they are hypocrite. But also, I don't buy the natural stuff about anything. Even the
breasts.

As a trans-humanist, I really don't see nature in the same way.

19. Anyone who thinks these are what real breasts look like
is a virgin:



Personally, I think she should wear a banner that says, quite truthfully, "Will Work For Tits." Or really bad tan jobs. Or badly-done hair extensions. Or overly-whitened teeth.

This is supposed to be an American representation of "beauty"? Hell, it's a representation of various services, that's all.

She's BARBIE!!!

27. Forty?
Hell, does she look like any 21-year-old YOU know? Not in my world - she's utter plastic, from top to bottom, and there's something so horrible about that sort of fakery being allowed - nay, encouraged - in the Miss USA contests, it is just fucking depressing.

The idea that she is now being touted as a shill for anti-gay propaganda is pathetic.

This is what those bigots have come to - exploitation of a kid without a brain in her head.

I'm sure she's already had the requisite nip and tuck, as well............

34. I've had conversations with my boy buddies
who've slept with women with fake breasts.

Every one of them has, essentially, said the same thing - they don't feel real, it's sort of creepy, but, hey, I'm getting laid so who cares?

Just what I'd want a man to think - "creepy".

Hmmmmmmm.. HOT!

20. Archeology of the future should be interesting
They will discover long buried remains of modern man & woman. They will know precisely the date of their future finds as many of the female remains will be the standard female skeleton with two relatively unchanged bags of silicone or saline mixed in wth the bones or nearby.
