Triple K Breast Implants at Work

HEALTH/SEX - We've already talked about breast implants on this blog... but when I heard about Sheyla Hershey and her Triple K breast implants (38KKK) I decided this deserved an extra post on the topic.

Sheyla Hershey already had size 34FFF after eight cosmetic surgeries, when the 28-year-old Houston Texas woman decided she wanted to go for the world record. Doctors in the United States refused to do the surgery so she went to Brazil looking to increase her bust size a couple more notches. (The US doctors said her breasts were in danger of exploding and refused to do the surgery for safety reasons.)

Sheyla Hershey says she gets frustrated when people laugh at her. She says this is her dream and she wished people would be more accepting. A housewife and 'model' says she dreams of being an actress.

"I want to look better each day, every day. Everybody's got a dream inside, you know? And, it's good when you can make your dream come true," Hershey says.

Except she doesn't look better at all. She looks like a circus freak and should be right up there beside the bearded lady lifting huge dumbbells with one hand.

But Hershey now has a tonne of scar tissue, back and shoulder pain and the extra large silicon breast implants are more prone to damage and leaking. All this to satisfy her obsessive fixation on BIGGER breasts (like Russ Meyer in a way).

"To me, big is beautiful. I don’t think I have anything to worry about," she says.

Hershey's British ex-boyfriend started paying for her plastic surgery, but she left him after he begged her to stop, saying "I loved him very much but I had to leave him to follow my dream."

So is she sexy? That is her goal after all, right? I think not. Rather skanky all things considered.

And who says bigger breasts are sexy? Sure, cleavage is nice, but I'd say perkiness is the issue really at stake, not size. Perky breasts are definitely sexy (as opposed to droopy).

Who else but an American would be so obsessed with the size of her breasts that she would risk her health? Sheer stupidity and recklessness.

FINAL CONCLUSIONS: Breast implants are for reckless skanks.

Strategy Games and Women at Work

ENTERTAINMENT - I've noticed that there's very few women who play strategy games, either online or offline.

Face it, games like chess, RISK, Diplomacy, etc. just aren't something that women seem to enjoy.

Its not an intelligence factor however, but a thematic issue.

Chess, RISK, Diplomacy and similar games have one underlying theme: War. Beating up your opponent with pewter soldiers, plastic tanks and wooden fleets.

The same goes for other games like Magic the Gathering, which uses collectible cards. Your goal is to kill your opponent with monster cards, spell cards, etc.

These games are definitely more for male nerds.

But the silly thing is that women do play computer games, and some of those games should be considered strategy games. The Sims for example, does involve a fair bit of strategy when it comes to planning out what your sims do in the game and how they spend their time in order to maximize their abilities and happiness.

Women, especially women over the age of 40 (according to AOL Games), are more likely to spend time playing a variety of online games including card games (ie. online poker), MMORPGs, games that stress social skills...

As opposed to violent computer games like Counter-Strike... or games like 'Grand Theft Auto: Vice City' in which you can have sex with a prostitute and then kick her death (and get rewarded for it).

Not a big surprise women aren't lining up to play that game.

It makes you wonder what women do online for fun? (They're not downloading porn that often, in comparison to men.) And it also makes you realize there is a huge market there for women gamers that the gaming industry seems to have forgotten.

For men... playing a strategy game (usually you vs the enemy) is all about being a dick. You want to build up your forces, destroy your enemy and make them wet their pants or quit the game out of frustration. Why? Because the type of men who play these games (and I count myself as one of them) just love to prove their superiority and being a dick to other men.

Its not that men have a killer instinct when it comes to war games (I am a pacifist technically but that doesn't stop me from enjoying war-oriented game and violent games/movies), we just love stroking our egos and confirming our superiority over other men. Being the Top Dog is the goal and its upsetting when you lose.

But that doesn't mean that women wouldn't enjoy similar-such games where they get to play a bitch. That, to me, sounds like a great game to play. A game where you manipulate people, take their money, break their hearts and be a bitch to other players.

That doesn't mean however that all women are mean-spirited bitches. I don't believe that is true (although admittedly there are a few really mean women out there), but I do believe there is a market for such a game where women could work out and release some of those darker feelings.

And I'd bet money it would be an addictive game too, for men and women.
