Wow, great article regarding a mildly horrific concept - I'm so dependent upon other people's opinion of me I am having complete strangers vote upon and fund my new tits! How about tossing out all those "women's" magazines, instead? It will save you a lot of time, money and heartache. I learned to do so when I was about 18, and it has made a world of difference in my self esteem.
One comment to some of those posting feedback - the whole "you must not want ugly people to have plastic surgery because then you couldnt make fun of them" argument... hello?! The very people against surgery are the ones promoting the novel concept that you are beautiful just the way you are. It may be hard for you to swallow, but some people arent total tools of the media they consume. The ones serving up that argument are the ones who have such rigid standards of beauty, and are probably MUCH more likely to make fun of someone's nose than the ones saying "honey you are beautiful the way you are!"

great piece. i think this boob should be locked in a closet with the credit card girl and many starving angry children who lost their jobs making those ugly shoes. will the many short small breasted women of the world please get a clue? you're perfect! (provided you dont wear those awful shoes!)
in fact, there of some of us who dream about you and all the fun we could have because you're so little...
cancer and painful orthopedic problems. whoopee!

If a gal wants implants, she's gonna get implants. Hell, I wanted implants for a while. I just wanted to have a normal figure and fit into dresses without having to hem the chest. My mom, aunt, cousin among others have them, it practically runs in the family. And then I found out about how my mom had to replace her's a couple of times. Those things don't exactly last forever. After all she told me, it doesn't exactly worth it in the long run. It's like getting a tattoo...you're gonna be stuck with it for the rest of your life, so it better not be a passing phase of you're gonna be sorry. So, I leared to love my own boobs...and then started taking a new birth control pill that boosted me a whole cup size!

Oh please. People have always done things to make themselves look better. This is just another one of them. Maybe it's another two century fad, like corsets. What makes your moral/ethical code the one that everyone has to abide by? The one that decides that those who don't follow it are contributing to the downfall of our culture? I'm a guy, and I would rather not date a women with fake breasts, but I am not going to stop or criticize anyone.

Does anyone else think giveboobs is just a scam? Aside from the whole begging on the Internet thing, I find it ridiculous that people would contribute money to a cause that has no way of verifying to its contributors its own legitimacy. For all we know, Michel could be a Michael just scamming people. Repeated emails by yours truly to Michel asking for proof, evidence, etc. have been ignored.
Apparently my serious emails aren't fun enough for her to address.

I think that Mark is 100% right on. But isn't there some incongruity between someone thinking that they're physically inadequate but, at the same time, that they're deserving of my money? The real problem is vanity - not only do these people want to have it all, but they think that they're so special that they're going to get us to pay for it. My children will have to earn their prosthetics the American way, struggling under a sachel of Rupert Murdoch's newspapers every morning.

All this cleavage is a godsend to men who love big breasts. In contrast, many porn videos feature women with natural breasts, no "boob jobs" in sight. I like perky real breasts too and my girlfriend loves to rub her erect nipples on my chest as a reward for being so talented with her nipples-licking and caressing her "ladies" as she tweaks mine. Our foreplay includes cock tip to nipple fun leading up to very hot intercourse after 69 fun in front of a mirror.

KN, what the hell is wrong with you?! Stop being so shallow and cutesy and carnally naive and lost. Don't let some quack surgeon wacko slice and dice you into society's ideal shape. Don't care what any other person thinks! It's all BULLSHIT (because it's only OK for women like ME, BORN with the genes for C-cups, to find clothes in our sizes and avoid leers from jackasses...admit it, you and Michel - even genius Mark can't say she's pretty the way she is - are just naturally less deserving)!

The thought never occured to me to feel "threatened" by a junior high-schooler with a nose job. What I do feel is pity and shame for a society that convinces a healthy person (thirteen years old or otherwise) that they need to go to incredibly drastic measures to "fix" a body part that was never broken in the first place. I had breast reduction myself because I was a 38DDD and couldn't sleep without muscle spasms in my back, severe pain, etc (i.e.- a real reason for surgery). On the other hand, I choose to keep my ethnic and very 'Jewish' nose because it is mine. Period. Nobody will convince me that it is not beautiful because I will not let them. We DO have that power, by the way- to not be swayed by pop culture telling us what we should and shouldn't look like.

The reason I love to live in this country is to read articles like Mark’s. In my old country during the cold war people raised money to free Isaora, the poor slave, the leading character in a Brazilian soap opera. It was rather unfortunate that old ladies from the countryside had sent in all their savings to the TV station and waited to get news of Isaora’s freedom. Meanwhile the television station’s greedy boss simply pocketed the money, didn’t even use it for some plastic surgery – even though he could have used some… But now, that capitalism won over socialism, there is a larger percentage of girls getting some kind of augmentation or plastic surgery in Budapest, than in LA… Now that’s sad…

Hmm...the "There are far too many high school juniors with nose jobs" comment would be credible if it came from someone talking about her own *nose*, not about her own breasts. Unfortunately, kn merely leaves the impression that she feels threatened by people obtaining even prettier noses than her own (kinda hard to make fun of people born with "weird" noses if you can't tell which ones they are, isn't it?).

Brilliant! This is an issue very close to my heart, as well as other chest-related parts. I wear a DDD cup, and trust me, big breasts are not worth it. Lack of clothing in my size, leers from jackasses, and chronic back pain are the only things I've ever gotten from them. I'm hoping to save up money for a reduction soon; I have medical grounds for one. But this pop-culture idea that the body can and should be sliced and squeezed into society's ideal shape has got to go. There are far too many high school juniors with nose jobs.

I just wanted to commend you on this article. So much of what I read on this site is just another slice of pop culture, dressed up with an attitude to make it seem like a witty too-cool observation of "actual" pop culture.
Your article was a breath of fresh air. Thank you for being horrified, thank you for being upset and disturbed. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels slightly ill at the extent to which we've twisted ourselves around.

Exposure is the currency of our time, and whether it's negative or positive makes lil' difference. So, printin', postin', uploadin' this story just hastens her new headlights...
BUT, she wus already well on her way to the ta-ta total, so yer intelligent remarks were at least good readin'...thank you.

Hey, you are correct on everything, except that everyone in La-la-land has fake boobies. I am an all-natural C-cup wielding, 5 foot 1 chick! Ha ha! Granted, most men in this town have no idea what real boobs look or feel like. Oh well.

Actually, Michel already has the money, she;'s just doing this as some kind of bizarre vote-with-your-dollar stunt.
Besides, what's wrong with women who don't already have breasts getting breasts (or for that matter, what's wrong with with makeup, toupees, acne creams, other cosmetic/reconstructive surgeries, etc.)? Afraid that you can't harass people for looking like freaks anymore if they can actually stop looking freaky?

Loved the article. So pleased to see Mark Morford in Nerve.
I do suspect, however, that you may be missing a close italics tag in your HTML. I don't imagine the author intended to italicize the entire last half of the essay.
Keep up the wonderful work!
