Colbert Re****t Does Segment on A Guy Giving Away Breast Implants For
In Honor Of IWD??
I just don’t even know what to say about this. A segment on a guy
giving away breast implants because Saturday is International Women’s
Day?? See “Difference Makers - Free Implants”. Colbert does end it
nicely, but WTF. Apparently he hasn’t read any of the gazillions of
news re****ts about just how dangerous implants are , despite FDA
approval.

Thanks, Feminist Peace Network, for covering this story.
I adore Stephen Colbert and his brilliant, cutting satire that is all
over the charts. He is a spinner extraordinaire.
As an women’s health advocate who has seen the ravages of breast
implants over 13 years of working with thousands of women harmed by
this very faulty medical device, it concerns me when the breast
implant downside is treated so lightly.
Because of the enormous public relations budgets of the breast implant
industry (manufacturers, front groups, plastic surgeons, other med
device makers etc.) merged with tobacco industry and oil money and
more … and you have a well greased media to fill magazines, TV,
Wikipedia, blogs, etc. with the cor****ate version of reality.
They can trivialize the potential harm, and augment the perceived
good.
In our international sup****t group, we have communicated with
ex-Penthouse Pets, women from other media campaigns (such as the
implant site mentioned in this article), the former assistant post
mistress, plastic surgeons, MENSA members, dancers and more … from
near and from far.
The same cor****ations whose money sold and profits from the invasion
of Iraq … minimizes the harm from vaccinations, Gulf War Syndrome,
Agent Orange, breast implants, tobacco …together funding
junkscience.com / ACSH.org / and their front groups below them.
