fearlessly proclaiming the truth & the other truth! voice of the teknoshamanic institute
And When Dorothy Peeked Behind The Curtain...
Published on April 14, 2005 By kingbee In Current Events

if the title sounds sorta familiar, there's a reason.   a post with a similar title appeared briefly in the political forum for a short time.  in that one, the 'skanks' of the national organization for women were judged in need of:

a. being slapped around

b. the author declaring a jihad against them

for joining with their 'selfish bitch' feminist sisters to force their anti-implant beliefs on the pure flower of american womanhood.  wait..sorry, now's real crime was hypocrisy.  the ultimate hypocrisy of demanding the right to choose abortion for themselves while arrogantly denying 'real women' the right to risk their health to enhance their bustline.  to make it all even more despicable, these so-called minority representatives--with their shrill leftwing emotional demands--caused all women to look bad.

the author's righteous condemnation was echoed in the thread by a chorus of equally right-thinking, rational, valiants who clearly saw the dangers of such outrageous foolishness manifesting itself in making a stink over  bob packwood's innocently affectionate gestures of endearment for which the poor man was martyred. it almost goes without saying--altho it was eventually said--NOW engages in collusion with such enemies of freedom as the aclu.  those who happened to avail themselves of this collective wisdom were reminded all of this was just one more proof of conspiracy to turn us--male and female--into floppy breasted prisoners of the state.

so far so good, right?  nothin like a lil misogyny among friends and in a good cause.

except...i'd heard a half-dozen reports on the issue, seen it encapsulated on national main stream media (politically correct for 'soviet') tv broadcasts and read about it in two major daily news publications.  clearly i seemed to be losing what slight connection i still have to reality because i didnt recall any mention of the national organization for women.  nor, for that matter, did i remember any mention of other feminist groups.  i'm pretty sure i woulda noted aclu involvement, if nothing else.

so i went back and found the articles i'd read and began paying much more attention to broadcast news.  my efforts weren't rewarded however.  even running a google news search using "national organization for women" + silicone implants  as keywords fell flat.

folks i can only assume this is some sorta feminist coverup conspiracy of massive proportions.   or i could if didn't pretty much decide the author made it all up outta whole cloth.  the best i could turn up was some sorta vague or supposed reference to now...and some vague allegations presented by 'moderate' to 'rabid' rightwing bloggers about now's massive campaign to criminalize implants..  without a link to a source, your guess is as good as mine.

so now...we've covered the breast implants, the national organization for women and skanks, but what part do boobs play in this travesty? 

well, one of em created the vitriolic and totally unsubstantiated crap pile of bombast.  the others jumped on the issue, took it all to be gospel truth since it so conveniently fit into their belief system and enthusiastically, gleefully donated to the cause.

and that's how ya put ideas into ideology. or to paraphrase the late eloquent johnny cochoran...if there aint no links, it prolly stinks.

"If a woman walks through the city at night without being entirely aware of her environment and gets raped, it's her own fault."


No, no. That was sarcasm, made in the face of someone saying that Terri Schiavo "asked for" her condition. I think the obvious givaway there is " If somebody is bipolar and doesn't use sheer willpower to fight it, it's his own fault."

The second one is basically true. A downside, granted, but one that the vast majority of people who get them don't seem have a problem with, since the vast majority don't have problems.

I'm just having fun with King, poking him about the 1800+ thing


reminds me of bill maher's disclaimer de jour, 'ahhh, i kid the (president) (pope)(dark lord..i mean richard perle) (whomever he's just lampooned).

*using the napkin so graciously proffered by lw*

this aint what it seems, of course. i'd no sooner stepped outta the door when derelict tanker truck, racing to deliver a shipment of ink to the hearst publications' printing plant collided with another carrying paint to the dhl fleet body shop. so while it looks as if the yolk's on me..

*lookin all earnest n shit*

I don't think he can really make the original article into a bunch of men in smoking jackets degrading women and talking about floppy breasts


in all honesty, i don't pay a lotta attention or respect to now. i'm much more concerned about someone using its relatively subdued objection to an fda decision that's as questionable for its timing as its conclusion as an opportunity to insult and advocate violence against any women--even members of now.

No, that is his way of writing.  It is his trademark.  I dont think I have ever seen him capitalize, but I would not say it is rude.  This is not English 101.

excuse me for expecting manners. not observing convention: i suppose that mere mortal beings perilously disregarding standards is not considered pompous, but rather customary around here.

You need to learn punctuation. There should not be a period after "manners" or a colon after "convention." I think you're trying to take this discussion in a different direction. You're what we call an anonymous troll.

I'll accept that I insulted them, but unless you've never insulted anybody in any post you've ever made on this site, including G.W. Bush, I don't think you have any right to criticize me for insulting these women. Subdued objection or not, it still shows their hypocrisy (unless they can show that silicon implants are worse than any other choice that women can legally make).
As for advocating violence against women, you'll have to show me where I advocate violence against women. I see frustration, desire, and hyperbole in what I say, but not advocacy of violence against women.

Advocating violence against women is if you watch Leave it to Beaver and "Beaver Cleaver" has a different meaning for you.

Hey, KB, are you google impaired?


im sure it must seem so at times. i have google set to show 20 hits per page after checking 10 per page for the first 3 pages, i found no mention of now. im guessing that'd hold true for the rest.

I'm drunk, so I don't remember much about your article. Cept boobs. Mine are real. But if they weren't they'd prolly sit higher...that's all I have to say about that.

Parated: If you have your penis removed due to cancer, I'll be willing to bet you won't be satisfied being neuter


it might be the best choice. i once hadda script a video about penile implants for a urologist in newport beach who wanted something he could show prospective clients. by the time id finished, i was damn near unable to walk because i couldnt stop myself from protectively crossing my legs increasingly tighter. a complete dickectomy would require even more drastic reconstruction and i dont even wanna think about it.

expecting manners is inexcusable.

There is no medical purpose for breast implants. The only reasons any women get them are based on low self esteem and a pathetic need for attention so strong that they are willing to risk their lives to get it.


while self-esteem issues and vanity may be the reason why whole & physically healthy women are willing to take such a foolish risk, i agree with bakerstreet that breast restoration following masectomy is medically valid.

There's nothing pathetic about breast implants, any more than any other plastic surgery is pathetic.


some plastic surgery is pathetic. it's as obvious as the nose on michael jackson's face.
