A few unrelated things on my mind:Point 1:
There's so much plastic surgery going on nowadays; in fact, the most obvious case is through Korean series in which the actors and actresses look strikingly different from one drama to the next. The most common surgery is done with the eyes: more defined double-lid, even a type that increases the puffiness under the eye (why? I have no idea).
This leads me to question number 1: if athletes suffer criticism for taking steroids, should models receive the same treatment for plastic surgery? In both cases, the individual takes on some form of artificial enhancement that gives him/her an edge above the competition. It's no secret that Heidi Klum has implants, and don't get me wrong, I think she looks great with them. But how fair is it? I used to think that Victoria's Secret models deserved all the fame because they had naturally curvy bods...
which leads to question number 2: how important is the "natural" anyway? Most people walk around with fixed teeth or dyed hair, and what about makeup? They're all totally unnatural, and yet they don't receive the same type of attention as plastic surgery. Is it because plastic surgery is less affordable? Imagine a free clinic that performed plastic surgery as quickly as flu shots. I can guarentee that some of the biggest critics of plastic surgery would be waiting in line for a nose job.
And finally, question 3: should people who have had plastic surgery be legally obligated to inform their spouses of the surgery? I don't mean after they've been married, but while they're still weighing each others' pros and cons. I mean, how pissed would you be if you married a gorgeous girl, and your kids look like a cross between an orangutan and Joan Rivers? Exactly how does the legal system deal with this anyway?

Point 2:
There's an Olympics mascot that's named Nini!!! Personally, I think she's the cutest one out of the 5. 4 of the mascots are Chinese animals (Nini is a swallow), and the 5th represents the Olympic flame. Their names are Beibei, Jinjin, Huanhuan, Yingying, Nini--and read in order (Bei jin huan ying ni) means "Beijing welcomes you." How hot is that??
