12. Good for her

I think young people have no idea what real bodies look like because they simply don't see them...all they see in the media are perfect bodies. They just don't know what happens to most of us eventually. I guess we can take comfort in that they will one day have gravity take over, too, or have children too. Let's hope when that happens they remember this incident and are ashamed.

I was wondering where this was...do you have a link to the story?
