Fake "Everything"?

[Gunny]

What is with this crap? I posted the one video with those morons injecting synthol into their muscles to get "bigger muscles" at the risk of losing those limbs and/or their lives.

Lately I've seen more and more celebrities I don't recognize. Madonna being the latest poster child. Do these people learn nothing from Michael Jackson's face falling off? There are ZERO female, fitness/bodybuilding contestants without fake boobs.

I get fake teeth and prosthetic limbs. They are functional. I get disfigured/scarred people having some work done. I don't get preferring to look like a piece of plastic put together on a Star Wars set trying to avoid some wrinkles.

Same question as in the synthol thread: Do these people think they actually look better? Or of that their attempt to erase time accomplishes that end? Madonna looks hideous, IMO. Burt Reynolds and Kenny Rogers did themselves no favors.

All that money and STILL can't buy their way out of dying like everyone else

Madonna seems to think she can use various injections and surgeries and be forever young. Not the first idiot and not the last. She looks horrendous, a lot of people at this years grammy awards barely recognized her.

It's body dysphoria ... like gender dysphoria. Mental illness.

It's certainly "dis-something". It's something that is above and beyond anything I consider logical. Meaning I don't get it.

Then again, maybe I have "fake" dysphoria. I hate fake shit. Especially the kind of crap mentioned above. At which point of everyone ending up looking like they came out of that Twilight Zone episode with Donna Douglas does someone get that: "DING! This ain't working" moment?

In my "the purpose for change is improvement" mentality I'm not seeing where that goal is being reached.
