In case you’ve been living under a rock, the US Government is asking for online search records of Americans, ostensibly to revive an online pornography law. No. 1 online search company Google refused, but Yahoo, MSN and AOL have cooperated with the government.
(Don’t forget this government just got into a little kerfuffle over secretly taping Americans. Taken together, these don’t look good.)
If what Americans are searching for is any indication of wrongdoing, then I don’t know what to make of Mesotherapy.
“Mesotherapy” was one of the top 10 searches on Go.com yesterday. Other illustrious words included online degree, shopping and real estate.
I was curious, so I clicked on the word.
People, don’t.
I was suddenly faced with images of some needle being inserted into some body.
Mesotherapy – which for the record, is not even in dictionary.com – is the use of injections into specific parts of the body to allegedly reduce fat and cellulite. It’s new and not entirely safe.
No matter. We all want the quick fix. And we wanted it done yesterday.
Forget exercising or eating right. We’ll do damn well what we please and pay someone else to stick a needle in us to get rid of cellulite. Gawd, what is happening to us?
If the Government wants to know what people are searching for, I could have told them: We live like Homer, but we want to look like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Well said, well said.
It’s not just Americans. I think it’s a First World lifestyle that afflicts many, including Singaporeans.
