This has been a pet peeve of mine for quite some time. And it was on my mind yesterday thanks to this post and this comment.
So last night, I'm lying on the couch, clicking the remote when I stop at Martha Stewart's version of The Apprentice. Figuring it was just the soporific that I needed, I decided to watch. Then Martha opened her mouth. It was like watching an old Japanese monster movie: I could hear the words, but it appeared as if Martha were saying something else entirely. It was bizarre and unsettling. And unexpected: Her lips look basically normal.
But they'd been altered. It gave me a bit of a turn; I'd had no fair warning. And I'd just been dozing off, too.
So I've had enough. Normally, I'm a live-and-let-live kind of person. If you want to enrich the economy by spending thousands of dollars on plastic surgery, who am I to stop you? But I have to look at you. And I'm tired of seeing freaks with fish lips everywhere I look.
Besides, I'm bored by the whole Plame-gate affair. The Harriet Miers nomination leaves me cold. But this: This is something I can really get behind.
So who's with me?
