The Most Pre-Natal Nutritionally Sound and Fit Generation Z, And All We Get Are Obese Models (1 Viewer)

Can't even put lacquer or laminate on a magazine anymore, fellas.

This is the new normal.

 

[rockaction]

DON'T GET ME STARTED.

 

[rockaction]

You can avoid this by seeking titles with "Urban" or "City" or other codes for minority heritage in the name. They haven't gotten the memo yet. Unless they went to school for a degree in social work. Then you'll get the overweight models, male and female both.

I'm still finding lots of good content out there and I'm not even looking that hard. Well, that was poorly worded, maybe.

Yeah, I guess if you're looking. I was just leafing through the catalog mailings of the middle class, not anything illicit. I was underwhelmed.

Maybe they can put out a Talbot's swimwear issue. Sears-Roebuck used to do the right up job with their bras.

Hah! That's a joke. Talbot's still won't show ankles. It's like that Simpsons episode with the black and white gams on Marge.

Check out those gams!

Really, I'm just bored and between the commercials and the mags, they were all obese. But those were yogurt and Dove ads, so of course.

At first I was going to agree, but then I realized that if the NFL is going to do us a solid and roll out guys like David Blough and Zack Wilson to make us feel better about our athletic prowess, the modeling/magazine industry should probably do the same for the ladies. But moderation is the key. We still have to watch Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen make us feel like weak little men every week.

I absolutely cannot argue with this logic. An industry around making people feel bad should fail miserably in our self-affirmation world.

But there's an ugly secret under the surface of that, I think. How much self-loathing can the marketers capitalize on when it comes to the female psyche until the money stops flowing in the direction of the haves rather than the have-nots? Status is so powerful. Tom Wolfe made a career in addressing it. Second-wave feminists have hit their graves unable to account for it.

That's a thornier, bigger issue than it is my right to decide upon, never mind comment.

 

[rockaction]

And what seems like a surface lament and labeled easily as retrograde gets all of the sudden deep, evolutionary psychological, and somewhere sadly in the realm of the PUAs and MRAs who have tried to at least account and address it.

I don't like them, personally, but there are vast vestiges of wisdom that have been accounted for and explain partially our desperation for anything resembling justice regarding the body and the inegalitarian way in which looks and adipose tissue are distributed. Almost cruelly, at times. It's just we don't use that wisdom anymore because it is considered hostile and dated.

Stoicism, man.

My ex-girlfriend practically lived out the catalogue. She was professional before professional knew what professional was. She really laughed at the woman who said she went to work to get her Mrs. Degree.

I still liked songs like "Drunk On The Highway." We were never to be married, her and I.

Aside from the alcoholism and bitching about women's magazines, it turned out for the best.

LOLOLOL.

Another quality interlude, mang.

 

[rockaction]

Stoicism, man.

Emo.

Ian Curtis

We listened to the open sound your voice projected on the radio dial
"Lie with me," I said
and lying's what she always did and always will.
All these thoughts keep leading back to him.

And no signs from Cinema.
No city skyline.
No paper scraps and no unfolding at five o' clock
Your voice skips as it always did and always will
All these thoughts keep leading back to him

It's the light from your sunless room
Scattered in pieces all around you.
Recession of these thoughtless forms
Reciting every line as a way of life and a way of death in time

We heard Ian Curtis kill himself again in your bed.
In these twenty four hours we stretched into a room
Filled with "Heart and Soul."
This is the way.
Step inside and march in the procession of empty hearts.
Love has torn us apart.
It's a part of me a part of you
In time we're falling apart together.

The reflexive rejection and/or acknowledgement of impulse and desire will find itself manifest in sociopolitical movements. The Greeks wrote political comedies about it. It will come to the fore in some way. Recognition of basic human desires will always be at the front of organization. It's pre-Constitutional, pre-order.

At heart, everything becomes socialized or politicized. Even women's magazines where women sell things to women.

So it is.

 

[rockaction]

Man, it's so nice to come back to YouTube and "Cycles To Gehenna" by Aesop Rock is on.

Forget the magazines, it's all about piano interludes in rap songs.

[Us] little ****ers run on passion alone
This is the product of a DIY inadequate home
Grabbing a cabin in the-****-outta-dodge
Actin' a savage in the shadows of Rome
Traffic amassed against insufferable odds
Fashioning gallows out of plastic and bone
I got the motordrome walls of death splintering under me
All-city galvanized bikes white knuckling
Bright light, tunnel kings tuck in the devil
PS - I wrote this on a self-destructing memo

 

[Hoh]

Are you feeling ok?

 

[zoobird]

You're just bitter that Joe got rid of the yoga pants thread.

PS I have no idea what this thread is about

Sir Mix A Lot won.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

This is one of those social trends that you can turn into a positive if you just to look at it from a different perspective. Until fairly recently, every female model put in front of me was a smokeshow of one variety or another. Now, it's actually quite common for me to see professional models who are significantly less attractive (and a full bill heavier) than my 52 year-old wife of 28 years. It's kind of cool to be married to someone who is more conventionally attractive than what passes for a supermodel these days. It's like I've finally unlocked the last FBG achievement.

 

[rockaction]

Are you feeling ok?

Sure. How's the cereal?

 

[rockaction]

Your yoga pants comment makes me think you do.

If I had a nickel for every baby without back that backed up to that song...

 

[rockaction]

(and a full bill heavier)

I just clipped that out of context because I loved the parenthetical aside.

Indeed, maybe bills heavier.

Buffalo Bill's defunct

 

[rockaction]

And let's not forget that -- at heart -- I'm that obese model in your window.

It was past time for the "rockacition's Thread About Everything/rockaction's Thread About Nothing," I'm glad this day has finally come.

It’s actually had several iterations but has been cancelled because of low attendance each time.

Inconceivable! But maybe more drunk posting would boost ratings even further. You are without a doubt the most entertaining rage screeder on this board.

The Amish make some great “Girls Gone Mild” videos, particularly while they’re on Rumspringa Break.

Loosely related, did you know the Bikini Atoll is part of the Marshall Islands? That’s another place ankle showing is verboten.

Narrator: Does rockaction say he's been sober nearly four years? Hmm...

Loosely related like nuclear contamination? Heh.
