More mainstreaming of plastic people

Yahoo! News - Bigger Breasts for Free: Join the Army

The New Yorker magazine reports in its July 26th edition that members of all four branches of the U.S. military can get face-lifts, breast enlargements, liposuction and nose jobs for free -- something the military says helps surgeons practice their skills.

Free is a good price I would suppose, but I suspect that plastic surgery rarely makes people happy for the long term. It is impressive to see how popular this fad is becoming with all of the reality TV shows.

I think it would be cool to do a reality TV show 2 years or so after the event. See the effect that being on "The Batchelor", "Extreme Makeover", or "The Swan" has on people in the long term. It is pretty easy to see that winning "The Batchelor" is not all that it is hyped up to be. I would bet that these "slice and dice" reality shows are equally unfullfilling for the contestants in the long term
