@KatCallahan, @stopbeingterribleandillstopbeingmean: I just want to say how happy it makes me when this type of conversation actually goes where it's supposed to and everybody ends up understanding each other and the situation a little better. It seems like a complete fucking miracle every time.

Yes, I understand it's a different photo, as indicated by the fact that I specified it was supposed to be a before photo. There is no reason a fake ass "rupturing" would cause anyone's leg to shrink, because legs are made of bones and muscles and would remain structurally sound even if an implant burst. I have no idea…

Why are so many people buying this? Here's the alleged "before" photo; you can see they did a weird crop on her leg and moved it up. No one's femur shrinks because of a busted butt implant.

The Washington Times probably sees this as a "Ha ha, we're pissing off liberals!" stunt, though it will do nothing but destroy what little credibility they might have.

I bet nearly all of the sneering, sexist assholes who are OUTRAGED at the mere suggestion that Temkin could've handled this better are the same sneering, sexist assholes who say things like, "She isn't acting like a victim", "Look how she dresses", and "It's her own fault for getting so drunk".

The Culinary Workers Union? "Yeah, food's for girls. Real men just gnaw on the bones of their vanquished foes."
