A radio show was cancelled in Kentucky for saying the word, “breast”. Yes that’s ludicrous, but it gets better. The show that was cancelled was The Writer’s Almanac hosted by Garrison Fucking Keillor!

This game is funny. Took me five tries to win, which clearly illustrates what we already know… subtlety is not my strong suit.

The Boston Herald’s only positive use is to line the bottom of birdcages. That said, I was peeking over the shoulder of a commuter yesterday and saw that there was an article on breastfeeding in public, and in particular in sports stadiums (stadia?). The headline… Glands in the Stands.

There’s a political movement in the US, called “Topfree”, that seeks to give women the same rights that men have in where and when they can go topless. A Daytona Beach woman just fought for and won the right to drop her top as a method of protest. This is a cause I can get behind (better yet, in front of). I know what you’re thinking… “You just like it because of your fondness for funbags”.

That’s a boorish assessment. I have always been a strong supporter of equal treatment for groups that have been unjustly discriminated against. It’s an uphill battle to countervail the deeply-held cultural taboos that pervade and stagnate our society, but progress is made no other way.

That, and I love boobs.

“Lactivists” all over are soliciting corporations for their support for breast-feeding in public. Burger King and Starbucks are among the companies that welcome breast-feeders and the breast-fed in their stores. There’s an article here. But why stop there? What’s so special about nursing that garners special rights? I say whip ’em out whenever. Racks need no occasion.

AP has the story:

WASHINGTON – Two former employees of a breast-implant manufacturer alleged the company covered up high rupture rates and workers were so fearful of bosses finding defective implant parts that they hid the parts in the ceiling.

They’re lying. The implants are fine. The workers are undercover artists are just putting their finishing touches on their exhibit, Random Avalanche of Boobs.

Lara Croft (the video game character, not the movie character) gets a breast reduction for the next installment of Tomb Raider. From AFP:

British computer game firm Eidos, which created Croft, has changed her physique to one less likely to put off female players. In the soon-to-be-released “Tomb Raider: Legend,” the eighth title to feature Croft, her DD-size bust has been reduced to a more modest C-cup and some of her more revealing outfits have been ditched, the report said. The adventurer even sports a modest round-neck sweater with full arms for part of the game, the paper added.

No… that’s a good idea. The game sucks on its own, so it makes sense to get rid of the one gimmick (or two) that sells it.
