I never really considered the latter two organizations as good. Both have holier then though attitudes and try to dictate how I should live my life.

I just ran a quick domain name search for you, and it turns out [not a PG-13 site name -CW] is available! I think you should start a site...

It's hard to tell if boobies are real anymore. If every female that someone says had been "augmented" really had been, then those booby docs would be a LOT richer than they are. From my unscientific and totally subjective study of this subject, I believe that we've been breeding for big boobies for the last hundred years or so, and when you add much better health and nutrition, that adds up to bigger boobs at younger ages. Of course this study should be followed up with a fully funded, truly scientific study that addresses both "realness" and genetics. I figure at least $3M to cover the initial set up and first several thousand subject interviews and exams... Of course, going hand in hand with this study is my long-planned "curtains and carpet" study.
Speaking of which, according to Playboy, it's not THEM that's asking for shaving. They say that this is the way the models show up. Not too pleased with this myself...

"Hirsute" on such websites does not mean "only just trimmed." Not at all. It means "oh my! are you sure she's really human?" Trust me on this-as part of the background research for my second above-mentioned study, I did some checking...

You would think natural selection would have led to bigger breast (big breasted gals get the best guys?), but technology is changing that. Same way children who would not have survived childbirth 100 years ago are now surviving. My children would not have been born alive if not for cesarian section. Makes you wonder where we are headed.
I'm not sure I see the link between nutrition and bigger breast size.

Affirmative. I'm actually suprised neither of the two major American political parties have been named yet, though I'm beginning to suspect that's due to a refusal to admit either one was "good" in the first place.
Either way, see you on the other side.

I'd rather discuss ghporter's theory than let this go to the PL.

Remember when the sportscasters had talent?
Remember when Stuart Scott wasnt on that often?
Remember when they used to give credit to the journalists who actually broke the story and not just set up a film crew on location and just repeat a story someone else wrote?
Remember when they didnt try to invent sporting events (X games)?
Remember when they didnt try to invent post season awards (ESPYs)?
That whole show about acompetition for an anchor job was just retarded.

Valid.

This is a rampant problem?

Maybe I'm just an imbecile, but I've always liked the X Games.

I think the awards themselves are cheesy, but I do like the recap.
That whole show about acompetition for an anchor job was just retarded.
Definitely valid.
ESPN has always had its problems though. I don't think it's entirely "gone bad." I still think most of what they do is quality work.
Unless we want to get into a discussion on the travesty that is the broadcasting of WNBA basketball.

Same here.

The ESPYs are worthless. I doubt the participants even care, and its not as if anyone can even remember who won one of them in the past.

I find that Euro League BBall is just as bad to watch... but at least their arenas are filled.

I think it would be cool if they got rid of the Oscar-like ceremony and just had a massive, week-long special on all of the significant sports happenings of the year. Replays, interviews, analysis of where it would stand in sports history, etc.
The last thing anyone needs is another awards ceremony.

Don't have much of a problem with Stuart Scott at all... then again, we share a hometown.
For the topic though, I'll say the Grand Army of the Republic.
