World gone crazy?

Forget politics, the environment, medicine, science, etc.  Has the world gone crazy?  I was just looking through a flier I received from Bed, Bath & Beyond and simply cannot believe my eyes -- a pair of panties that are actually meant to make your butt look bigger, called Booty Pop.  Honestly, what is the world coming to when there is a market for a fake, bigger booty?  I, incredulously, googled Booty Pop to see exactly what it was and one of the comments from a customer was to thank the makers because now she has a butt she can be proud of . . . so now there are girls/women out there who have a disposable, pull-up, fake butt and that makes them proud of their body? . . . what's wrong with this picture.  Guess we've done everything we can with our breasts (lift, increase, decrease, separate, push up, push together), so now let's "fix" the bottom.  E-gads! as Aunt Dot would say.

I will refrain from getting on my soapbox about how girls are taught from a very early age that in order to be acceptable (to boys/men? other girls? themselves?) then they need to. . . you know the drill.  This makes me sad.  (Okay, just one step up on the box, then I'll get down.)  Creating a poor self image in an impressionable young girl, while it sells products and it's the American way, has other not so lucrative consequences (except for perhaps the mental health professions and law enforcement) --I believe it is one of the factors creating the need for the business I'm in.  Enough said.

Ann Coulter, a.k.a. Ginger, spent the night and all of today walking around the pasture bawling and looking for her baby (one of the Dick Cheneys).  Talk about feeling bad . . .
