Except that no one is stopping you from consuming 32 oz of soda. Or 3000 oz of soda, if you want to. Only the cup sizes are changing. Your 'right' to consume enormous quantities of soda isn't being infringed upon in any way. Why is this so hard to understand?

Well, yes. That's kind of why laws exist in the first place.

I don't understand the hysteria about this. No one is banning soda, or taking away anyone's choice to buy and drink as much as they please. All he's proposing is a limit on container sizes to make mindlessly over-consuming slightly more difficult. You are still free to knowingly fuck your body up with HFCS to your…

I can't stand the 'Well, she's an actor! She WANTED to be in the public eye! She should be able to take it!" argument.

If it upsets you enough to put "art" into scare quotes, it's art.

Oh! You're right - reading fail! Thank you!

Woah! Girdles! Why has no one mentioned girdles? Women of the 50s wore restrictive girdles from their teen years on, which meant that fat deposited differently around the waist. That's why the waists of ladies in bikinis look weirdly nipped during that era. It's a less extreme version of what happened to Victorian…

Jez folks, have you considered hiring a dedicated science correspondent? As much as I love your writers, lately they seem awfully confused by scientific studies.

Why are so many people on this thread sleeping in their eyeliner? If I did that I would wake up looking like I was 2 days into my new life as a zombie.

Has anyone tried a GHD styler (fancy flatiron that can also curl hair)? I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos, and I dream of it doing amazing things for my fine, straight hair. However, the $225 CDN price tag gives me pause. Anyone had experience? My hair is unbelievably blah, and I'm ready to shell out if it's…

I have two jobs (thanks, recession!). In one of them I work with a number of wealthy, pampered women in their 40s and 50s. The kind of women who spend hundreds on their skincare routines, and who have facials at least once a month.

Is crunchy-permy 80s hair -of the sort sported by these ladies- coming back? I need to know before I drop $225 on a GHD styler.

Antlers. Moose have antlers, not horns.

Why do the mothers allow this? Because they want to be on TV. It's not about their daughters and it's certainly not about dance - they just want to be on TV. They live in a culture where fame is the most valuable thing in the world, and they'll trade anything, including the happiness of their children, to get it.

Idolizing brainless no-talents isn't a modern phenomenon. Before there were movie stars people idolized royalty. ROYALTY. Brainless, no-talent, literally inbred royalty.

This is astonishingly dumb. But they all have really nice hair. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on getting my very fine hair to do that? Or do I have to, like, hot iron the devil out first?

OMG! This occurs very rarely in humans, too! It's called craniofacial duplication in humans. But! Years ago, when genetics weren't as well understood, it was called diprosopus twinning, because doctors hypothesized that the stillborn babies with this condition were actually conjoined twins who shared a single body.

Stop hating on the Vibram five fingers! THEY ARE MAGIC!

"There's a reference to somebody having twins."

I was lucky enough to see Etta James live four years ago, shortly before she stopped performing. She was a delight - she was undeniably frail, but her voice was as good as ever, she was incredibly comfortable onstage, and she kept telling proud stories about her grandchildren.
