15 Minute Lunch: Strap in, shut up and hold on. We’re going back.
It’s almost shocking anyone survived the 1970s. There should have been some kind of ritual suicide for looking like this.

Sadly, I think I owned that entire outfit. And wore it. MOM, What was wrong with you?!

This next one… I couldn’t come up with anything better than the description on the original site…

This kid looks like he’s pretending to be David Soul, who is pretending to be a cop who is pretending to be a pimp that everyone knows is really an undercover cop. Who is pretending to be 15.

That’s priceless…. the Leprauchan version in the lower-left is somehow even more hideous.

For more, go visit the original site linked above. Well worth the time. Painful, to be sure, but worth it.

I’m probably way behind the times on pointing this out, but I just found this link and needed to post it.

It’s a one-minute movie showing the transformation of a model from pre-make-up to head-shot-on-a-billboard, and is the best example I’ve seen of displaying how distorted our view of beauty (and reality) have become. The resemblance of the finished product (and I use that term purposefully) to the real woman is almost unrecognizable.

It really does bother me that we are so twisted in the way we market beauty in our culture. Not only is it an example of how gullible we are as a people, but it is damaging many of our children - particularly girls - who are trying to attain standards of beauty that are literally unattainable in the real world. It’s very disturbing.

(By the way, one of my pet peeves is the loose use of the word “literally” in popular language. I employ it here in its correct, primary usage. Watch the movie. This post is in the “technology” category for a reason.)
