Porn star Mary Carey, who rose to fame in her gubernatorial campaign against Arnold Schwarzenegger, is keeping it real by auctioning off her fake breast implants. Yes, she is auctioning off her recently removed and autographed fake breasts. Now, don’t get us wrong, we are all for supporting charities, such as the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation which is apparently going to be the recipient, BUT what kind of precedent is this “act” of generosity going to set? Also, isn’t a little ironic for a perfectly healthy breasted woman to intentionally be reducing or removing her breasts in order to support a cause for which many women involuntarily lose their own? Isn’t that a little demeaning, or at least braggadocios? That reminds me of one of my favorite Mitch Hedberg, RIP, one liners:
It’s very dangerous to wave to people you don’t know because what if they don’t have a hand? They’ll think you’re cocky. Look what I have. This thing is useful. I’m gonna go pick something up.
Similarly, it’s also very dangerous to presume breast cancer sufferers want porn stars to voluntarily remove their fake breasts, sign them and then auction them off all in the guise of supporting that charity. Whatever happened to volunteering your time???
And now, if you don’t mind, we will step off our soapbox so we can go get our wallets.
