Got too much dignity but not enough money for surgery? Give away your dignity! Bridalplasty is for you!
posted by Biru (26 comments total)

This post was deleted for the following reason: It's certainly a weird bit of trainwreck television news, but a couple short OMG blog entries about a bad TV show that's getting made is kind of thin for a post. -- cortex



 
From the article: Every single woman on this show will look exactly the same, and would benefit more with therapy than free surgery.

That.

This.


Holy fuck.

Frankenstein's Bride is a bridezilla-stein.

When I see "give away your dignity" and "Bridalplasty" in a sentence I immediately think "hymen reconstruction." I think that's fair.

I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now press your lips against the horrible, rictus-like mask of the bride.

And then there's the reality TV shows: I Want a Famous Face and The Swan.

Reality Cuts -- "Are people deciding to get plastic surgery based on TV reality shows? A new study says yes, but the tube is only part of the picture."

There's also Miami Slice.

This show would be perfect if everyone had to talk like pirates, though....

Yarrgh.

I'd feel bad about this, but to be honest I've lost the ability to give a fuck.

Even the name sounds hideously deformed. Aren't you supposed to have a noun before the -plasty ending, denoting the body part being messed with?

"I just want to say one word to you - just one word."
"Yes sir."
"Are you listening?"
"Yes I am."
"Plasty."

Cheeto? It's made with cheese like substances...

It would be wise
If the winners were three
Mold each to look better:
One a duck,
One a rooster,
One a parrot.
Then the three
Would be forced
At gunpoint
To shoot a live-action remake of Three Caballeros.
There is no downside to this plan

women’s two most important goals in life — looking pretty and getting hitched

Did someone actually write that?

Scratch that. I caught the tone of the rest of the story. I ain't so swift with just a phone for browsing.

That "Shine" section of Yahoo really rubs me the wrong way, but there's this comment about the article:

That's how persons of Homeland Security are; Their level of LIFE is filled with tons of Psychological Disorders which they have helped to spread to everyone else: This article is just another sample added to the list of USA dysfuntional Behavioral/Psychological disorders: > 50 million people are addicted to over-the-counter drugs to street drugs 2) > than 3 million people are labled as hoarders 3) > than 15 million people are regular smokers 4) > 15+ million americans are unemployed and without health insurance 5) > 150,000,000 people are doing or living in Gluttony And as the free ruling I's of this Nation which make the Conglomerate of God(?) yet all these dysfunctional Psychological disorders? The 7 deadly sins: 1. Lust 2. Greed 3. Gluttony 4. Pride 5. Envy 6. Hate 7. Wrath...These are what tons of USA citizens at the HOUSETOPS who yell on a daily basis claiming their sect of persons equivalate to the making of GOD are filled with. Therefore, their body in disguise as this article reveals another psychological disorder are: THE FALSE MESSIAH.

Precisely what I thought when reading it. That and "What's the number of my local Islamic Extremist cell?"

Dear People Who Watch Reality TV and Media Who Write About It:

Stop trying to blame morally bankrupt networks or producers for this sort of thing. This is your fault. To paraphrase de Toqueville (or maybe Jefferson-- google seems to disagree)-- in a society of a thousand cable networks and limitless on-demand offerings, people get the pop culture they deserve.

Love,
a guy who spent half a decade working on shows like this*

Well, maybe not exactly like this, thank god, but still.

I'm gonna pitch a tv show called "WHO WANTS TO FUCKING DIE?" where every week, all the contestants have giant things dropped on them. Don't steal my idea.

I'm thinking more on the lines of a reality version of "The Human Centipede". Each week the loser of the challenge gets added to the centipede. Even better: "CELEBRITY Human Centipede"

This show is the perfect solution for less-well-off couples where the groom says to his beloved "I would love you just that much more if you looked like Joan Rivers."

When altar time comes, they should totally switch the bride with another random person to fuck with the groom's head.
