New Children's Book Explains Mommy's New Rack

Plastic surgery for the sake of making someone look "pretty" is one of the most egregious trends to settle into our current culture. Topics that would make a Vegas dancer blush like Botox injections, "vaginal rejuvenation", collagen, and boobjobs are seriously discussed among middle-aged ladies at book clubs. Real medical doctors, the most highly skilled profession of our time, have been upstaged by Dr. Nick types, juicing up depressed housewives with silicone in their garage. This is a complete waste of scarce medical expertise, along with a failure for an individual to accept their existence and current age, which makes this "trend" all the more heinous. Well now there's a book by some money-grubbing asshole to help kiddies deal with the fact that their own mother is soulless attention-grubber. Newsweek explains (H/T Reason):

"My Beautiful Mommy" is aimed at kids ages four to seven and features a plastic surgeon named Dr. Michael (a musclebound superhero type) and a girl whose mother gets a tummy tuck, a nose job and breast implants. Before her surgery the mom explains that she is getting a smaller tummy: "You see, as I got older, my body stretched and I couldn't fit into my clothes anymore. Dr. Michael is going to help fix that and make me feel better." Mom comes home looking like a slightly bruised Barbie doll with demure bandages on her nose and around her waist.

Sure, who am I to judge these people for making their own decisions. Fair enough. Just don't get all uppity when I call you "Frankenstein" once I see you parading down the street. This is all part of a "forever young" culture that refuses to equate age with wisdom, ignores the warnings of its elders , and will eventually self-destruct. Ah, fuck it.

That SUV isn't paying for itself. Mommy's gotta invest in her wares!

Of course, the author of the book fails to tell the story that Mommy is still a vapid soul clinging to her youth, and that plastic surgery might make Mommy look a "little funny" (see below).
