So this girl, Michelle, got this maybe fake, maybe not fake picture posted of her, and for some reason… people care. Someone in a Majikthise thread said it best:
More to the point, who cares?
Indeed. I just thought I’d post about it, to just, say…I think the fact that people actually care is supremely stupid.
Honestly.
It’s just as stupid as the Jessica thing when people realized she has boobies. The more people blog about stupid shit like this… the more I want to just go read a book instead of contributing any further to blogs, and reading them.
(I know, I’m being a bit hypocritical by posting about it, but…I had to post it to say what I think is stupid, right?…right.)
I can’t even express the amount of stupidity the whole ordeal is amounting to. Blah. There are better things in the world to talk about, think about, and spend time blogging about. Like this. Because this is just ridiculous and, well, wrong. Why is it wrong? Ann expresses it more clearly than I ever could.
And I think that gets to the heart of what’s unsettling to me about
this campaign. I don’t like the implication that certain parts of
women’s bodies are "worth saving" because they’re sexy. Boobiethon is
sending a message that breast cancer should be stopped because it
claims beautiful breasts as its victims– not because it’s a horrible
disease that’s killing women. I’d almost prefer a website that featured
women naked from the belly button up, and showed their faces. Because
at least then you can see that this disease affects real women, not
just disembodied breasts.
People are getting more stupid as each day passes.
